What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a plastic aesthetic operation that corrects body contours by removing fat deposits. It is performed on different parts of the body in order to adjust volumes. Since 2015, liposuction has been among the top three most popular plastic surgeries in the US and Europe.
Many patients perceive liposuction as a quick way to get rid of extra pounds. But it is not so. The operation only corrects body contours, but does not reduce weight. Therefore, this surgical intervention is not performed on people who are overweight or obese. Daring to go to the plastic surgeon, you need to have an ideal stable weight. Removal of fat deposits is carried out from areas that can be conventionally called “depots”, when a person loses weight, but
In addition, it is believed that liposuction is a female operation. In fact, it is also made for men.

Types of abdominal liposuction
Answering questions about how liposuction is performed, it is worth determining its main types. Modern plastic surgery clinics use the following methods: vacuum, tumescent, laser, ultrasound, radio wave, vibration. How are they different? They have different effects, destroying fatty tissues with cells.
• Tumescent liposuction. This type of operation refers to the so-called wet operations. In the operated area, the plastic surgeon injects a special drug – Klein’s solution, which consists of an anesthetic (lidocaine), saline solution and adrenaline. It anesthetizes tissues and “liquefies” fat deposits, facilitating their removal. Then the specialist performs vacuum liposuction. The disadvantage of tumescent liposuction is the high risk of swelling and bruising.
• Vacuum liposuction. The most popular and effective type of fat removal. A plastic surgeon uses a cannula attached to a vacuum machine to remove fat tissue through micropunctures. The vacuum technique affects exactly the fat cells. Thanks to this, the fat volume decreases. The risk of bruising is reduced.
• Ultrasonic. The zone is affected by ultrasound, which heats the tissues and destroys the fatty layer. Ultrasonic liposuction is effective for small amounts of fat deposits.
• Radiofrequency liposuction. A plastic surgeon works with an electrode and a radiator. The electrode is placed under the skin, the emitter above it. Radio wave energy passes between them, which destroys fatty tissue.
• Laser liposuction. It is carried out with the help of a laser probe, which not only removes fat, but also improves the quality of the skin by increasing the production of collagen.
Patients ask: liposuction of the abdomen, how is it done, how long does it take? The duration of the operation depends on the volume. Approximately 40 minutes – 2 hours.

What “problem areas” can be corrected with liposuction?
The purpose of liposuction is to remove fat deposits in the “depot” zones – the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, flanks of the back, lower back, knee area. From these difficult areas, fat leaves very slowly, which significantly spoils the figure. In total, surgeons allocate about 20 zones for liposuction.
Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to obtain the most pronounced result – a perfectly flat stomach. This operation is called lipoabdominoplasty.
Fat tissue from the chin can also be removed during a SMAS facelift. But, of course, liposuction of the second chin can be performed as a separate operation.

Abdominal liposuction: photos before and after

Who is shown this operation?
Surgical removal of fat is recommended for:
• aesthetic dissatisfaction with the figure after pregnancy – the presence of fat “traps” on the stomach, hips, back,
• the presence of a fatty layer that violates the contours of the body,
• people with a body type in which deposits are accentuated in the lower abdomen.
Special preparation for liposuction is not required. It is recommended to give up drinking alcoholic beverages, quit smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes smoked as much as possible for 2 weeks, and also be sure to inform the plastic surgeon about all the medications you are taking.
Before the operation, the patient undergoes an examination and passes tests at the Vidnova clinic. Based on the results, the specialist decides on surgical intervention.
We offer patients from abroad to perform “one-day surgery” – consultation + examination + operation in 1 day.

Contraindication
This surgical intervention is considered minimally invasive, but has contraindications:
• oncological diseases,
• severe chronic diseases at the stage of exacerbation,
• obesity associated with disruption of the endocrine system,
• pregnancy, breastfeeding,
• blood coagulation disorders,
• psychological disorders,
• age up to 8 years.

How is liposuction performed?
During the consultation, many patients are asked to tell how liposuction of the abdomen and other parts of the body is performed. Like any surgery, liposuction requires preparation, organization and a recovery period.
Preparation. The first step to an ideal figure is a consultation with a plastic surgeon. The doctor determines the indications and can plan the operation. Before surgery, the patient must undergo tests.
Carrying out. For vacuum fat removal, the specialist makes small punctures in the problem area. Through them, he introduces cannulas, with the help of which he liquefies and, under the influence of vacuum, removes subcutaneous deposits. There are no incisions on the skin, so there are no stitches!
Restoration. To achieve the optimal result of the operation and reduce postoperative risks, the plastic surgeon recommends wearing special corrective underwear. Rehabilitation lasts 2 weeks.

Anesthesia during liposuction
Under what anesthesia and how does liposuction take place? The operation is performed both under general anesthesia and under local anesthesia. General inhalation anesthesia is used when the patient has a large volume of zones or as part of a combined operation. For example, to get a wow effect, liposuction is often combined with abdominoplasty. It is also an integral part of liposculpture of the buttocks and breast lipofilling.

Rehabilitation: basic rules
If the operation was performed under general anesthesia, the patient spends 1 day under the supervision of medical personnel. If local anesthesia was used, he goes home in 1 hour with recommendations from a plastic surgeon. In this case, hospitalization is not required.
The first few days there is a possibility of swelling, bruising, and a feeling of numbness. Taking painkillers is recommended. Gradually, all uncomfortable feelings disappear.
An important stage of the recovery period is wearing special compression underwear for 2-4 weeks. It will shape the silhouette and also tighten the skin. At first, it should be worn around the clock, then underwear should be worn at night.
It is recommended to limit physical activity for 1 month.
