Fat removal in order to achieve a slim figure is in high demand in the list of services of any clinic of aesthetic medicine. But patients are usually only interested in liposuction for the thighs, believing that body sculpting is limited to correcting the shape of the legs.
However, the liposuction procedure can touch many fat traps located on different parts of the body – on the arms, back, abdomen, buttocks, and the removal of fat in these areas will help to create a flawless silhouette for the patient.
For which areas of the body is liposuction possible?
Liposuction procedure is most often used for for the area of the outer thighs (the so-called breeches and flanks), for the inner thighs.
At the same time, excess fat is corrected in the area above the knees, the back of the lower leg, and the subgluteal zone, which allows achieving impeccable slimness of the legs and even sometimes the opportunity to leave the clinic in a bold short skirt.
However, body sculpting is not limited to the hip area, and liposuction can be performed on other parts of the body where there are fat traps.
Anterior abdominal wall. Abdominal liposuction procedure is relevant not only for women, but equally for men, although ladies come with this problem more often and complain of postpartum stretch marks, and men – less frequently and due to excess body fat.
Liposuction of the abdomen has its limitations: when it comes to excess fat – the operation will give a wonderful effect, when the stomach sagged due to muscle strain – an abdominoplasty will be needed, as fat removal will not be effective in this case.
The operation is sometimes combined with the removal of fat in the suprapubic area and in the flank area, which helps to create a slim silhouette.
Shoulder areas. Liposuction of the arms gives an excellent effect in modeling an impeccable figure, although patients rarely ask about this procedure.
The puncture is made in the armpit, during the procedure it is necessary to take into account the condition of the patient's skin and, if necessary, excise the excess in order to prevent its unaesthetic sagging.
The area of the back. The area is quite controversial, and not all experts consider it expedient to perform liposuction on the back. In any case, for the procedure of back liposuction, it is necessary to select those patients for whom it is really indicated.
Two suprascapular zones and two lumbar zones are usually considered. The main thing for the surgeon during back liposuction – this is the ability to achieve harmony, proportionality of the torso and correctly calculate the volume of fat removed, taking into account the condition of the patient's skin and muscles, in order to achieve ideal proportions.
