What’s liposuction for? Am I a good candidate?
Liposuction is a surgical operation that has existed for decades. The techniques have evolved and improved over the years.
This technique is based on the extraction of localised excess body fat deposits via small incisions that are not noticeable afterwards.
Who is a candidate for a liposuction?
As some people mistakenly believe, this is not a slimming treatment nor is it used for weight loss. The ideal candidate to undergo a liposuction is somebody who whilst not exceeding the normal weight, wishes to get rid of accumulations of fat. Despite exercise, diet, or injections of cosmetic surgery products, etc these accumulations of fat don’t disappear. With liposuction the body shape is remodelled to achieve a more slimline figure that is more attractive and better proportioned.
One of the most pleasing and gratifying cases for liposuction is for those people who have excess fat around the thighs, hips and lumbar area. In this way, these areas regain their slender outline, even allowing you to reduce your clothing size.
Besides this, “liposculpture”, which treats various areas at the same time, has also proved highly satisfying for our patients as it allows us to improve the outline of the whole of the body.
What’s more, the post-operative phase or recovery stage of a liposuction is quite painless. It allows for normal daily activities to be quickly restarted. And even more important, as long as we lead a healthy lifestyle this is the only technique that offers permanent results.
