Liposculpture, which means sculpture of fat, and is used to remove clusters of the same from different parts of the body, such as the abdomen, waist, hip, around or under the buttocks, thighs, arms, neck, cheeks, etc. Which is done by means of liposuction.

Recovery time depends on the areas that had been treated, being on average of 4 to 10 days, using special bandage for 6 weeks.

It should be noted that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or for weight loss, but to shape the body and obtain a sculptured figure; thus, helping you to reduce clothing size and eventually feeling better about yourself.

Liposculpture surgery is very safe when performed in optimal conditions, that is, in a patient who has been properly assessed and found to be a good candidate. Surgery should be performed by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and done in a hospital or clinic that meets the security requirements determined by the Health Department.

An important to mention, the fat cells that are removed during liposuction will not reproduce, so it is a false assertion that after the procedure your will rebound. However, it is recommended that your normal weight be maintained post-surgery, since fat cells can increase in size in conjunction with the rest of your body.

Recommended for men or women patients with adequate skin elasticity and good health, in whom diet and exercise have not been able to eliminate these fatty deposits. In the case of women, liposculpture surgery in Guadalajara can be done even if they have not become pregnant.

To remove fat, small incisions of approx. 5 mm are made, which are placed in places where they can go unnoticed, such as in the pubic region, inside the navel, etc., which are introduced through very thin cannulas that are connected to a machine that sucks and removes the fat. Ultrasound or LASER can be used as an adjuvant.

Local or regional anesthesia and sedation is used so that the patient is calm and relaxed during the operation. Usually, handled on an outpatient basis, that is, without the need to stay in the hospital. If there is a sensation of pain in the treated areas, you will be prescribed pain medications.
