Liposuction is one of the most popular and most frequently performed procedures in aesthetic surgery. Using liposuction we can reduce and re-shape certain parts of the body. Liposuction is a very effective method because it removes excess body fat from the body along with the cells in which the fat is deposited, which is the cornerstone of contouring and achievement of the desired body figure. Most often, patients seek liposuction for the abdomen, hip, upper arm, thigh, lower leg, and buttocks. Liposuction effects are immediately visible, making it very popular among both women and men. Liposuction is a very safe method with a very low percentage of complications. First a small incision is made to place the cannula and a special solution is added to reduce bleeding and any feelings of discomfort. The excessive fat tissue is removed through the cannula, a back and forth motion is employed with the fat – removal wand and liposuction device. The operation is performed under general or locally-potentiated anesthesia. Recovery lasts from 14 to 30 days. It is necessary to wear elastic support garments to achieve better and more predictable contours of treated areas.
