Liposuction
Treatments Woman / Body
Liposuction procedures involve removing fat from unwanted areas of the body using a system of cannulas and negative pressure. This technique can be complemented with lipofilling, which involves using the patient’s own fat to correct areas of depression and add volume in regions like the buttocks, hips, and breasts, among others.
For those who are recommended Liposuction
- Localized Fat Accumulation: Liposuction is often used to treat areas of the body where fat tends to accumulate, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin, and areas around the neck.
- Body Shape Improvement: People at a healthy weight but with specific areas of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise can benefit from liposuction to improve their body shape.
- Body Contouring Post-Weight Loss: Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin and remaining fat can use liposuction as part of a comprehensive body contouring procedure.
- Breast Reconstruction: In some breast reconstruction surgeries after mastectomy, liposuction can be used to harvest fat tissue from other parts of the body to fill and reconstruct the breast.
