What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which it is extracted localized fat in different parts of the body. Mainly in: abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, chin, chest and buttocks.
This intervention can be performed with local or general anesthesia. So the patient will not notice anything at any time.
It is necessary to emphasize that it is not a method to combat obesity.
Generalmente, hay un máximo de IMC para que un paciente pueda someterse a la operación de forma segura. Y por eso mismo, antes de someterse al tratamiento, es necesaria una interview with the surgeon so that you can analyze its characteristics and offer you the best guarantees.
How is the operation carried out?
Starting with an incision that is made near the part to be treated, the cannula is inserted (una especie de jeringuilla), que es la encargada de llegar a la zona en la que se encuentran fat cells that are to be extracted.
The cannula is connected to a vacuum machine that suctions the fatty tissue from the area being treated.
Like during liposuction too essential fluids for the body are lost (electrolytes), only one can be extracted 10% of the patient's weight per session. This means that, for safety, the procedure is spread over time to perform other sessions to safely extract more fat.
The duration of treatment depends on the characteristics of the patient and the results sought. It generally lasts 90 to 180 minutes.
Normalmente, después de la intervención, el paciente suele marcharse a casa una vez los efectos de la anestesia local o epidural desaparecen. Por tanto, no es necesario que permanezca ingresado. Se trataría de una outpatient intervention.
Sí es cierto que, en el caso de algunos pacientes, podrían permanecer de día unas horas para ver la evolución, o una noche. Pero generalmente esto no es necesario. El Dr. Weigand será el encargado de tomar esta decisión por su seguridad.
It should be noted that liposuction is one of the interventions safest there is, but we also do not have to skimp on resources to achieve optimal results.
