Liposuction: the way to restore an ideal figure

Liposuction is a type of plastic surgery aimed at removing excess fat and body sculpting. During the procedure, the doctor removes excess fat, helping patients achieve the desired silhouette. Unlike weight loss methods, liposuction does not aim to reduce weight, but to strengthen and restore body contours.

Selected areas for liposuction

During torso liposuction, excess fat can be removed from various areas of the body where fat is usually deposited. Some of the most common areas include:

  • Abdomen
  • Breast
  • Buttocks
  • Back and lower back
  • Legs (thighs, knees, shins)
  • Arms (elbow joints, armpits)

Indications for liposuction

Liposuction may be important for patients who have various aesthetic problems, such as uneven contours, proportionality, asymmetry, gigantomastia (excessively large breasts in women), gynecomastia (male breast growth in the type of female breast), or psychological discomfort due to unsatisfactory appearance.

Contraindications to liposuction

Liposuction of the trunk is not allowed in the following cases:

  • Decompensated diabetes mellitus
  • Heart failure
  • Varicose veins at the surgical sites
  • Other serious cardiovascular diseases
  • Pregnancy and lactation period
  • Impaired kidney and liver function
  • Acute infectious diseases
  • Deterioration of chronic diseases
  • Severe mental disorders
  • Oncological diseases
  • A tendency to the formation of hypertrophic scars
  • Hormonal causes of localized excess fatty deposits
  • Blood coagulation disorders
  • Children's age (under 18 years)

Liposuction is not an effective method of weight loss and should not be used as such. The causes of overweight need to be corrected, otherwise, after some time after liposuction, excess weight may return.

Trunk liposuction procedure

Before liposuction, the patient is referred for a comprehensive examination to help identify possible complications. After diagnosis, the doctor chooses the best method of anesthesia and performs the procedure.

The main stages of liposuction include:

  • Skin preparation and antisepsis
  • Marking areas for liposuction
  • Puncture of the skin and insertion of a cannula connected to special equipment for vacuum aspiration of fat.
  • Destruction of adipose tissue using modern liposuction methods, such as vibration, ultrasound, laser or bipolar
  • Pumping of fat using vacuum equipment
  • Distribution of fat residues to create beautiful contours
  • Application and processing of sutures

After the surgery, the patient is put into compression garments that help keep the tissues in the right position, prevent the accumulation of serum under the skin, and promote faster healing.

Results of trunk liposuction

Liposuction is an effective method of reducing body volume by removing subcutaneous fatty tissue. The results are visible almost immediately. The volumes continue to decrease over the following weeks, and the final result is formed in 3-5 months.

The effect of liposuction can be long-lasting, but to maintain it, it is important to avoid excessive weight gain. Proper nutrition and regular exercise will help you achieve this goal. If you need to change the shape of your body and emphasize your natural beauty, torso liposuction can be an excellent choice.
