BETTER BODY CONTOUR AND PROPORTIONS
Even with diet and exercise, achieving your ideal body can be challenging. Liposuction provides a solution by surgically removing unwanted fat, precisely reshaping targeted areas. Consider it for those stubborn spots that haven't responded to your efforts.
LIPOSUCTION BEFORE AND AFTERS
Actual Patients...
What is a Body Lift?
-
Lipo BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) is a cosmetic procedure that combines liposuction to remove fat from areas with excess (like the abdomen, waist, thighs, arms, back) and the transfer of that purified fat to the buttocks to increase their volume and improve their shape, creating a more curvy and proportionate silhouette
-
Anesthesia: Usually is performed under epidural anesthesia and sedation.
-
Surgical time: 3-4 hrs. It depends on the areas to be treated.
-
Recovery time: Most patients can return to normal activities after 2 WEEKS, although it is important to avoid strenuous activities for several more weeks.
Am I a good candidate for a Liposuction?
General Health:
-
Good physical and mental health: Candidates should be in good general health without serious medical conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery (e.g., heart problems, uncontrolled diabetes, weakened immune system).
-
Non-smoker: It is strongly recommended not to smoke, as tobacco can hinder healing and increase the risk of complications. If you smoke, you will need to quit several weeks before and after surgery.
Weight and Figure:
-
Stable weight close to ideal: Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a weight loss solution. The best candidates are close to their ideal weight (generally within 30%) and have localized areas of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise.
-
Localized subcutaneous fat: The fat to be removed should be primarily subcutaneous (under the skin) and not visceral fat (surrounding internal organs).
-
Realistic expectations: It is crucial to have realistic expectations about the results of liposuction. It is not a procedure to tighten loose skin or eliminate cellulite. Its goal is to improve body contour
Skin Characteristics:
-
Good skin elasticity: The skin should have good elasticity so that it can retract smoothly after fat removal and adapt to the new body contour. Skin with poor elasticity may become saggy after liposuction, which could require additional procedures to tighten it.
Motivation and Lifestyle:
-
Personal motivation: The decision to undergo liposuction should be personal and not to please others.
-
Commitment to a healthy lifestyle: While liposuction removes fat, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise is important to preserve long-term results.
Other Factors:
-
Appropriate Body Mass Index (BMI): Many surgeons prefer candidates with a BMI below 30-35, although this may vary.
-
Over 18 years of age: Generally, it is recommended that patients be over 18 years old.
-
It is essential to have a comprehensive consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to evaluate your individual case and determine if liposuction is right for you. The surgeon will consider your medical history, aesthetic goals, and perform a physical examination to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Keep it in mind:
Every patient is different, and your plastic surgery result is not the same as everyone else's. The procedure cannot stop the natural aging process. Factors such as skin elasticity, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices (such as smoking and weight changes) can affect the longevity of the improvements.
