Body shaping with liposuction is no less popular among patients than breast augmentation. Fat removal using instrumental methods is of interest not only to women, but also to men. The fact is that there are special places on the body – the so-called fat traps that cannot be dealt with either by diets or fitness loads. That's when liposuction comes to the rescue, allowing you to locally remove some fat accumulations.

When is liposuction used for fat removal
The essence of liposuction is the local removal of fat from the places of its excess accumulation. Usually, fat traps located on the hips, above the knees, in the buttocks, shoulders, back of the necks, in the form of a second chin are treated. Sometimes liposuction in the abdomen is performed before abdominoplasty – when fat deposits are too large and can lead to postoperative complications.
Adipose tissue is removed (suctioned) using a special lipoaspirator, but it is first destroyed by the introduction of special preparations or using ultrasound. Thanks to liposuction, you can effectively correct the contours of the figure. It is important for patients to understand that the removal of fat by the instrumental method – this is not a way to lose weight without effort, but an opportunity to get rid of local fat deposits that are not amenable to other methods of influence.
The advantages of liposuction compared to other body shaping plastic surgeries are as follows:
- the operation is performed through punctures, and therefore the healing process is fast, scars do not form;
- the result is visible immediately, immediately after the operation;
- fat removal can be combined with other body shaping surgeries.
Also, liposuction can be repeated some time after the first fat removal operation.
How fat is removed during liposuction
The effectiveness of liposuction depends on which method an operation is being performed, which liposactors are used by doctors to destroy adipose tissue, as well as from the patient's compliance with the postoperative regimen.
Fat removal during liposuction surgery can be done in two ways:
- suction liposuction – adipose tissue is destroyed by the introduction of a special dissolving agent and a cannula;
- ultrasonic liposuction – the destruction of adipose tissue is carried out using ultrasound.
Further, the destroyed adipose tissue is removed with the help of special suction devices through small punctures in the skin. At the end of the operation, sutures and protective antiseptic plasters are applied to the punctures.
Plastic surgeons at Medical Club clinics use only IV generation liposactors in their work:
- HERCULES WELLS JOHNSON CE 0470 V2 (suction);
- Soring Soroca Lipo CE 0123 V2 (ultrasonic).
Liposuction surgery can be combined with lipofilling, if necessary, with other corrective procedures.
Peculiarities of the postoperative period after fat removal
Before planning liposuction, the surgeon of the Medical Club clinic will definitely prescribe an examination for the patient in order to avoid complications, since it is very important that the liver and kidneys cope with the removal of adipose tissue decay products. Of course, during the preliminary conversation, the doctor will answer all the patient's questions and discuss with him the expectations from the operation.
The duration of the operation can vary from half an hour to 5 hours – depending on the amount of fat removed. Then the patient stays in the clinic for 1-2 days, so that the doctors of the Medical Club can fully control the process of postoperative recovery. Within a month after liposuction, the patient must wear special compression underwear, refrain from sauna, solarium, active sports exercises.
The final result of liposuction can be assessed after about 4 months, but in order for it to last for a long time, the patient must follow a certain diet and exercise regimen that the doctors of the Medical Club clinic will recommend to him.
