We will achieve this by removing accumulated tissue by suctioning (conventional liposuction) or breaking up adipose cells with ultrasound (VASER system) or with heat (laser-assisted liposuction). We will choose the most adequate technique based on each case.
It is performed under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation. Scars are minimal, two or three for each treated area, and are generally almost invisible. The immediate postoperative period lasts approximately 7 to 10 days.
You will leave the clinic with a compression garment to compress the treated areas, which you will wear for 15-30 days. You must avoid exercising for about one month. You will observe swelling, bruising, tightness and minimal local discomfort for a few days, which will progressively subside.
We may complement the procedure with lymphatic drainage, ultrasound and/or specific creams to improve outcome.
