2024Know when skin retraction may be essential after liposuction
But it is important to recognize that each patient responds differently to technologies.2024
In an interview with CARAS Brasil, plastic surgeon Nicola Biancardi explains that skin retraction is a crucial aspect to ensure satisfactory and natural results
Liposuction has evolved considerably since its introduction, especially with regard to technologies designed for post-procedure skin retraction. In an interview with CARAS Brasil, plastic surgeon Nicola Biancardi explains that these advances have not only transformed aesthetic results but have also redefined the limits of what is possible to achieve in terms of body contouring.
"Skin retraction after liposuction is a crucial aspect to ensure satisfactory and natural results. Traditionally, fat removal through cannulas reduces volume, but can leave the skin with excess sagging, especially in areas such as the abdomen, arms and thighs. To address this challenge, several technologies have been developed to improve skin retraction, providing a more defined contour", he highlights.
According to the specialist, among the most advanced techniques are the use of laser, radiofrequency and ultrasound. "These methods work by heating the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting significant contraction. This not only improves skin texture, but also reduces sagging, creating a firmer, more toned result," he says.
However, despite the remarkable benefits, it is important to recognize that each patient responds differently to skin tightening technologies. The limits of retraction vary depending on the elasticity of the skin, the amount of fat removed and genetic factors. Patients with naturally more elastic skin tend to have better results in terms of retraction," he adds.
Furthermore, according to Biancardi, it is essential that plastic surgeons carry out a meticulous evaluation before the intervention to determine which techniques will be most effective for each specific case. "The combination of different approaches and the judicious use of available technologies are fundamental to optimizing aesthetic results and patient satisfaction," he says.
"In short, while skin retraction technologies have revolutionized liposuction, providing more natural and harmonious results, it is crucial to understand that there are limitations based on the individual characteristics of each patient. The continuous search for innovation and personalized adaptation of techniques are essential to overcome these challenges and achieve the best possible results," concludes the surgeon.
