In our plastic surgery clinic, we cater to three distinct profiles of liposuction candidates. Some aim for sensual curves, others wish to reduce voluptuousness, and some aspire to look more athletic and feminine.
In all these cases, we notice an impact on self-esteem, and our goal is always to boost confidence through personalized procedures.
We suggest reading the descriptions below to identify the profile you relate to most. Your needs will help guide the type of liposuction surgery recommended during your consultation.
Goal: Weight Loss
The most common group of liposuction candidates includes patients who may or may not have had children and have gained weight over time, altering their body shape.
These patients often have fat deposits in the back, flanks, abdomen, and sometimes in the legs and arms. They may also consider fat grafting in the buttocks to restore volume lost over the years.
Goal: Localized Fat Reduction
The second group consists of slim patients, typically without children, who have developed localized fat deposits in the abdomen. These patients usually request limited liposuction focused on the abdomen with minimal muscle definition. Some may also opt for a small fat graft in the buttocks to create a heart-shaped contour.
Goal: Body Definition
The third group includes individuals who work out extensively, often younger patients without children who seek pronounced muscle definition and maximum fat removal.
Fat grafting in this group ranges from medium to large, depending on the fat absorption caused by exercise or hormonal use. These patients may also request fat grafting in the hip area to correct local depressions.
Key Information
We no longer perform traditional liposuction. Advanced equipment ensures better fat breakdown.
Skin tightening is a priority. We use specific devices and protocols to enhance skin firmness.
Our patients typically report minimal pain after the procedure.
Technologies Used in Liposuction
We always incorporate advanced technology during liposuction surgeries, leaving traditional methods behind. Options such as vibroliposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, and laser liposuction are commonly used, each suited to specific needs like skin tightening, secondary procedures, fat transfer, or muscle definition.
Did you know the best liposuction results are achieved in patients with a body mass index (BMI) of up to 28%?
If your BMI is above 28%, don’t worry!
Our team is dedicated to your transformation. If your weight is high, we will conduct your consultation and request pre-surgery tests as usual.
You will also be referred to our specialized nutrition program, focusing on fat loss, muscle gain, and skin firmness. This preparation may take 3 to 5 months, but the results will be significantly better after following our guidance.
High-Definition Liposuction (HD or LAD)
High-definition liposuction is ideal for patients who struggle to define their muscles despite maintaining an ideal weight and a rigorous workout routine. This procedure highlights muscle structure for a more sculpted appearance.
HD liposuction uses a refined technique that removes localized fat while accentuating abdominal muscles and the lines between them. This method allows for the sculpting of visible “six-pack” lines, if desired.
The technique combines hydroliposuction and superficial liposuction, strategically targeting fat layers to emphasize muscle contours for a natural yet defined look. Besides the abdomen, HD liposuction can enhance the back, chest, arms, thighs, and glutes.
Medium or Low Definition Liposuction (Anatomical)
For patients who prefer a more natural look without overly pronounced muscle definition, we offer medium or low-definition liposuction. This technique highlights subtle contours, such as the midline above the navel and two curved lines along the abdomen’s sides.
This approach can also be applied to the arms, back, and thighs, providing a slimmer, more toned silhouette. We finish with technologies like Renuvion (Plasma Jet with radiofrequency) or Laser ONE STEP to improve skin firmness.
High-Definition Liposuction with Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is most commonly performed in the gluteal region to enhance volume. However, we can inject fat directly into muscles to create a more toned and robust appearance.
This method is perfect for fitness enthusiasts seeking not only fat reduction but also muscle enhancement.
Muscles that can benefit from fat grafting include:
- Trapezius
- Deltoids
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Pectorals
- Rectus abdominis
- Obliques
- Vastus medialis
- Vastus lateralis
We use ultrasound equipment to guide fat grafting procedures for safe and precise results.
Post-Operative Care
You will be discharged the day after surgery. A nurse and physiotherapist will visit you in the hospital to ensure your comfort and recovery.
Our physiotherapist focuses on speeding up recovery, reducing swelling and bruising, and promoting effective healing. These sessions last up to 90 minutes.
Our nurse will provide detailed home care instructions, including walking posture, proper use of compression garments, and follow-up schedules.
Most patients report little to no pain after surgery.
Recovery Tips
We use advanced methods like tapping, ozone therapy, and compression garments to optimize results. Each patient receives pre- and post-operative care guides, ensuring you know what to expect and how to achieve your desired outcome.
The final results of liposuction are visible after approximately six months. Lymphatic drainage performed by experienced professionals is essential to reduce swelling and prevent fibrosis.
