Liposuction

What is it?

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed nowadays. It consists of removing fat from the human body, including, most frequently, “problem” areas such as abdomen, tights, buttocks, neck and arms.

How is it done?

Traditional liposuction procedures generally involve the use of a cannula (small hollow tube) and an aspirator to absorb fat from the body. There are different liposuction techniques, each one involving different amounts of liquid to be injected in the body. Liposuction surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia.

What are the benefits of laser liposuction?

Laser liposuction involves the use of a laser fiber to heat and melt fat in precisely targeted body areas, being the least invasive technique. It also involves only local anesthesia (tumescent liposuction), thus reducing surgery risks. Laser liposuction does not require sutures, and therefore after-liposuction bruises are minimal.

Is it for me?

Please keep in mind that liposuction should not be decided as an alternative to dieting or exercise, which usually provide more steady results. Also remember that final results vary from person to person. If after trying other methods you are not able to attain your desired body shape, liposuction may be a good alternative. In any case, be advised by a specialist. Read below for details.
