The resulting scar is very discrete (3-4 mm) and placed in an anatomical region where it can be easily masked, it does not pose aesthetic problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through a small incision, at some distance from the treated area, we insert a liposuction drill, connected by a tube to a suction system which removes the lipid deposits without touching the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which areas can benefit from liposuction?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lipoaspiration may be used in several areas; the most frequently requested are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the abdomen and waist \u2013 lipoaspiration creates a flatter abdomen, a well defined waist, eliminates \u201clove handles\u201d (flanks lipoaspiration), giving the hourglass shape patients desire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>thighs \u2013 almost any area can be treated at this level, starting just above the knee, the area under the feet (\u201cbanana roll\u201d), the outer side of the thighs, the inner side of the thighs (to create the superior hollow look)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hips\u00a0\u2013 lipoaspiration can treat unaesthetic deposits at this level, which yield so hard or not at all to diets and sports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bottocks \u2013 liposuction can only be done in certain areas at this level, and the extracted fat can be used to augment other areas and create a more round shape desired by most patients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>arms \u2013 lipoaspiration at this level can be used to create an invigorating appearance of the arms, in carefully selected cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>breast region \u2013 in cases of gynecomastia (when the fat predominates) or associated with female breast reduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>posterior chest \u2013 when fat deposits are prominent outside the bra band, liposuction of these \u201cback rolls\u201d can be performed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cervicofacial \u2013 whether or not combined with a facial or cervicofacial lift; it eliminates the \u201cdouble chin\u201d appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>areas such as calfs, ankles, knees can also benefit from liposuction when diet and sport do not deliver the expected results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recovery<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this procedure, you will need to wear a compressive bandage for <strong>2 weeks<\/strong> day and night and then only during the night for <strong>another 2 weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Immediately after surgery<\/strong> \u2013 small incisions will be bandaged; there are various garments, depending on the treated area; drugs and painkillers will be administered.<br>The <strong>first week<\/strong> \u2013 patients can return to work and light activities; bruises and swellings start to slowly remit.<br><strong>2 weeks<\/strong> \u2013 gentle massage and light physical activities are allowed; trauma is to be avoided, as well as intense physical activities or heavy lifting.<br><strong>4-6 weeks<\/strong> \u2013 results begin to show; patients can return to normal activities.<br><strong>6 months<\/strong> \u2013 all edema disappears; the final result becomes obvious, the skin continues to \u201ctighten\u201d till up to 1 year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is liposuction Liposuction or simply lipo, is a type of cosmetic surgery that removes fat from the human body in an attempt to change its shape.
