These terms are synonymous with minimally invasive aesthetic surgery, which most people in the world know as “liposuction” or fat removal surgery. This type of medical service allows you to locally simulate problem areas of the body, where fat does not lend itself to the effects of massages and training on simulators.

When is fat liposuction surgery performed?

There may be medical reasons for such an intervention, but in the vast majority of cases, liposuction is for aesthetic purposes. Fat is pumped out for people over 18 years old, provided that they are not obese. The operation is aimed at the local elimination of problem areas that do not lend themselves to massages, diets, physical activity in the gym.

Indications

Gynecomastia in men (combined with a breast lift);
cellulite;
the formation of flaps and double chin;

local fat deposits - sides, abdomen, arms and thighs, buttocks;
subcutaneous lipomas;
skin irregularities after injuries and surgical interventions.

Contraindications

Despite the presence of this type of service as low-traumatic, it has its own list of contraindications:

installed pacemaker;
endocrine diseases that provoke obesity;
genetically determined obesity;
vascular pathology at the site of the proposed operation;

oncology;
pathology of the heart and blood vessels;
liver disease, kidney disease, stomach ulcer;
blood clotting pathology.

There are also places where nerves and blood vessels pass close to the surface, so liposuction cannot be performed in these areas. This includes the front of the thigh, lower leg, upper and middle thirds of the back.

Patients with stage 3-4 obesity will also be refused surgery until the weight is reduced to optimal because of the normalization of nutrition and physical activity.

Preparation for surgery and stages

At the MC Dobrobut clinic, liposuction is performed using modern, low-traumatic methods. Our surgeons can offer:

laser.
radio frequency;
ultrasound method;
water jet;
chemical.

Classical vacuum liposuction is used in its advanced form.

The surgeon chooses the safest method for the patient:

dry - with a volume of 1-1.5 liters of fat - cells are destroyed mechanically;
tumescent or wet (ultrasound / laser) - up to 5 liters - use Klein’s solution (lidocaine, adrenaline saline);
hypertumescent liposuction (superwet) - up to 10 liters of adipose tissue - Klein’s solution with a vasoconstrictor buffer.

Before planning the operation, the surgeon will without fail refer you for examination. It is necessary to pass several tests and undergo diagnostics to make sure there are no contraindications and to choose the appropriate method of anesthesia.

Liposuction is classified by the amount of fat recovered:

only 2.5 liters - small volume;
up to 5 liters - large volume (this mark is considered the upper limit);
over 5 liters - extra-large volume (in exceptional cases).

The price for liposuction will depend on the method chosen and the scope of work. The method of anesthesia is also important - local or general anesthesia.

After anesthesia, the first stage is the destruction of the membranes of fat cells in the problem area.
The second step is to pump out the resulting fat emulsion from under the skin.

When compared with classical liposuction, the laser method uses cannulas of a smaller diameter, the effect is performed with greater accuracy.

What can / cannot be done after liposuction surgery, rehabilitation period

Liposuction performed in Ukraine is safe and low-traumatic, but the patient is obliged to follow the surgeon’s recommendations. Recovery will take several weeks, depending on the size of the operation.

Stay in a hospital after surgery under the supervision of a doctor - on average 24 hours.
Compulsory wearing of compression underwear for a month, like the skin, will need additional support.
Eliminate physical activity until complete recovery.
For some time you will have to refrain from hot baths, baths, saunas.
Diet is required to prevent edema.

It is important to understand that liposuction does not reverse the body’s tendency to be overweight. Fat will no longer be deposited in the operation area, but if the patient does not control weight, fat cells will accumulate in other areas.
