Liposuction

Liposuction or lipoplasty is the surgical technique used to remove fat deposits around the body contour, through vacuum suctioning. Liposuction, this technique models the patient’s body, by removing local lipodistrophias.  At Natural Surg, when we refer to modeling we are talking about liposculpture.

Fat deposits may have different causes; they may be genetic, hereditary, due to overweight, sedentary life, etc.  Liposuction, this surgery is especially recommended for those fat deposits the patient cannot eliminate through diet and exercise, frequently resulting in complexes regarding their body image.

Liposuction is performed by inserting very small cannulas (2-3 millimeters) through small incisions strategically located. The cannulas are first used to infiltrate local anesthesia, and then to aspirate and model to achieve the desired body contour. The patient is sedated under local anesthesia, for his own comfort. At Natural Surg, sedation is administered only by our team of anesthesiologists.

Recovery is painless and the patient may soon resume its social and work life, only two or three days after surgery. The patient must use an abdominal support belt for a minimum of three weeks, to reduce swelling. Generally, the final result may be seen one month after the procedure. This surgery is generally performed together with other procedures, including mammoplasty, to achieve total body contour.
