The surgeon's expertise is essential in liposculpture
Liposuction is extremely popular due to its excellent results. In my clinical practice, I usually associate liposculpture with other surgical procedures in order to optimise surgeries and guarantee a safe and effective result.
- No more than 5-8% of total body weight should be liposuctioned.
- It is performed under local anaesthesia and sedation or under general anaesthesia.
- It lasts an average of 1 hour to 2.30 hours.
- The patient leaves at the end of the day or spends the night in the clinic, depending on the volume aspirated and the anatomical areas involved.
- In the post-operative period, the most important thing is to use compression belts, moisturise the skin, ice the most inflamed areas and carry out lymphatic drainage.
- Patients return to their professional lives on average 1 week after the procedure.
