Liposculpture to eliminate excess fat
Liposculpture is one of the most advanced cosmetic surgery procedures in the field of body remodeling. Too many prominent hips, weighted belly, culotte de cheval, thighs marked by cellulite and stretch marks: all these imperfections can, with liposculpture, be resolved with good results.
The liposculpture operation is carried out by making micro-incisions through which a solution is first infiltrated that allows the area where the treatment will be performed to be anesthetized, and then to aspirate the fat with very small and little traumatic cannulas. Modern techniques have the advantage of carrying out aspiration from the most superficial layers, making the operation very little invasive and more accurate.
Liposculpture: before the surgery
The first visit is always very important to discuss with the doctor, to have expectations on the result that can be obtained and to understand if it is the right solution. Although the age limits are very wide, the advice is not to exceed 30 years and to evaluate a 360 ° path of recovery of physical fitness, which includes a balanced diet and constant activity.
Before proceeding with the surgery, you will be prescribed blood tests, ECG and chest X-ray and you will be advised to stop taking some medications, as well as to stop smoking and follow a low-calorie diet to really concentrate lipoaspiration on fat. more resistant to diet.

All the data collected from the pre-operative examinations will then be evaluated by the anesthesiologist who will meet you to discuss all the aspects and characteristics of the anesthetic part.
Local anesthesia is usually practiced together with light sedation, to minimize the use of drugs for anesthesia and allow immediate recovery after surgery. Another technique used is spinal anesthesia, in cases where the operation is localized only to the lower limbs. However, for cases where greater removal of adipose tissue is required, it is possible to perform the operation under general anesthesia.
Liposculpture: the intervention
The surgery can last from 30 minutes up to a maximum of 2 and a half, depending on the number of areas to be treated.
Once in the operating room, the cosmetic surgeon, through tiny incisions hidden in the natural folds, will begin the procedure by infiltrating the Klein solution which, in addition to anesthetizing the part, will cause a temporary retraction of the blood vessels allowing the surgeon to operate exclusively on the fat in excess. Through the use of specific cannulas which generally have a diameter of just 3-4 mm.
Liposculpture: after the surgery
Once the surgery is completed, a containment sheath for liposculpture is applied, which must be worn for about 3 weeks.
Post-operative recovery is usually quite quick and usually not very painful. In particular, functional recovery is very fast and allows you to resume normal activities as early as 2-3 days after the surgery. The aesthetic recovery will be a bit slower, since bruising (bruises) and swelling take from a few days to a few weeks to settle down definitively.
Liposculpture: the complications
Liposculpture is an operation with a very low complication rate, if performed by a specialist cosmetic surgeon and in suitable health facilities.
These complications include bruising, edema, and hematomas, which usually disappear on their own in a few days.
To prevent possible infections, on the other hand, peri-operative (during surgery) and post-operative antibiotic therapy is performed.
