WHAT DOES
Liposuction is not a slimming method and its objective is not to control the patient's weight. It is a surgical technique that allows the elimination of fat accumulations with the objective of improving the body contour.
It is common that this surgery is complemented with liposuction, which unlike liposuction, its objective is to generate volume in certain areas of the body. Both liposuction and lipotransfer can be performed at facial or body level. Regardless of the area, the incisions do not exceed 3 mm in size and are located in different areas in order to hide them as much as possible.

INTERVENTION
Liposuction surgery consists of introducing very fine cannulas through small incisions in order to suction the fat from the area. In this way, a harmonic and non-traumatic aspiration of the fat cells is possible. In lipotransfer, the fat extracted (by liposuction) is treated and reintroduced into the desired area to shape the body and enhance the desired figure. In cases where there is a skin with little elasticity or flaccidity it is necessary to assist the liposuction with ultrasound or radiofrequency techniques such as Bodytite. The objective is to retract the skin to the muscle to achieve greater definition. In addition, the bipolar radiofrequency of the Bodytite causes the destruction of adipocytes and allows greater precision in liposuction. Nowadays, a good surgeon will always combine all techniques: Liposuction, lipotransfer and Bodytite.
POST-OPERATORY
The time needed to recover from liposuction is proportional to the amount of fat removed. Bruising and swelling appear in the treated areas. You may also feel tiredness and about two or three days a strong stiffness.
As always, we recommend a postoperative garment that should be worn for at least a month.
The patient can resume normal life 6 to 15 days after surgery. Although sporting activity should wait until the 4th week.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I see the results?
It is necessary to wait for it to deflate, but after 3 months you can already see great changes and the patient will be happy.
A maximum of 10 days of inflammation and then the patient will see how the work done in the operating room will be marked.
Is it true that fat does not reappear?
Fat cells do not have the ability to multiply, it can be assured that adipocytes will not reappear.
Can liposuction be performed under local anesthesia?
It depends on the amount to be extracted.
Is liposuction painful?
The intervention is always performed in a hospital environment with all the resources so that patients suffer the minimum in this type of procedure. Patients describe the discomfort as severe stiffness in the treated area.
How long do the results of liposuction last?
After puberty, the number of adipocytes does not increase, so when we remove fat to reshape an area, there is no possibility that the extracted adipocytes will return. Thus, we say that the results will be permanent, as long as the patient does not gain weight considerably.
