Liposuction: Preparation for Surgery

About preparation for liposuction in Brazil the patient learns on consultation. As a rule, we are talking about taking food and liquids before liposuction, about smoking if the patient smokes.

An important point is taking medications. For the most favorable course of the operation and subsequent recovery, the patient must comply with all the doctor’s recommendations.

About the previously transferred operations and diseases the patient needs to inform his surgeon.

In some cases, liposuction can be delayed if, for example, a patient recently suffered from upper respiratory tract disease or suffered any infection of the skin. This information is important, so you need to give the doctor maximum information about your health.

If you smoke, then it is recommended to reduce the number of smoked cigarettes. Ideally, it is better to stop smoking during the operation and recovery period.

The reason is obvious – smoking slows the healing process.

For 10 days before liposuction, it is necessary to exclude the use of medicines containing salicylates (Aspirin etc.).

The action of salicylates increases bleeding both during the operation and after.

Without fail, a plastic surgeon should know about taking these medications, because an early stop of bleeding affects the result of the operation.

If you are taking any other medications – be sure to tell your surgeon.

Recommendations for women:

Taking contraceptive or other hormonal medications can also provoke bleeding. This question is individually decided on a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Most often it is recommended to stop taking this kind of drugs 10-14 days before liposuction.

During the period of menstruation, liposuction in Brazil can not be done, so it is necessary to plan the date of the operation so that it does not fall into the period of menstruation (it is necessary to exclude menstruation days, and also 3-5 days before and after it).

During the preparation for the operation, your surgeon will take the necessary measurements and order you one set of compression underwear, which should be worn for a month after liposuction. The cost of a set of compression underwear can be included in the cost of the operation, or this fee may be charged separately (ask your plastic surgeon for details).

If the volume of liposuction is small – the operation is often performed under local anesthesia and after 1-2 hours the patient can leave the clinic on his own. Previously, the patient receives a list of necessary medications that should be taken during recovery period.

If you plan to remove a significant amount of fat, then liposuction in Brazil is carried out under general anesthesia. In this case, the patient is discharged from the clinic on the next day after liposuction. Further visits to the clinic for the appointment of your plastic surgeon.

How is liposuction performed?

Liposuction in Brazil can be performed using different types of anesthesia.

The volume of liposuction for each patient is different. If the estimated amount of fat removed is insignificant, the operation can be performed under local anesthesia. But if a significant removal of surplus fat is expected, then the use of general anesthesia is most often recommended. In particular, when performing electronic lipomodelling, local anesthesia is usually used. In some cases, local anesthesia can be combined with simultaneous intravenous administration of sedatives.

Kind of anesthesia is discussed in details with the plastic surgeon, after the examination.

Again, the duration of liposuction directly depends on the volume of fat tissue to be removed, the total area of the treated zones, the type of anesthesia and, of course, the technique used. Liposuction lasts from 1 to several hours. Liposuction of different zones can be performed in stages. In other words, reducing the area of the treated zones in one procedure ensures an easier recovery. To avoid complications, many plastic surgeons limit the amount of fat that can be removed in one operation.

Despite the variety of different techniques, the most effective is the classical liposuction. It is this technique that makes it possible to obtain stable results quickly and with a low probability of complications. The availability of classical liposuction also plays an important role, because the prices for this operation are often quite acceptable.

The first stage of liposuction in Brazil involves the introduction into the area of operation of a special solution by which the fatty tissue liquefies.

Through small incisions, which in most cases are hidden in the natural folds of the skin, thin cannulas are inserted under the skin.

Today, cannulas with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm are most commonly used. Excess fat cells are removed through the cannula with a special vacuum suction.

After the removal of surplus fat, seams are superimposed. The operated area is glued with special elastic bandages and compression garment is worn. Compression underwear should be worn 1 month after liposuction. If liposuction was performed under local anesthesia, then 1-2 hours after the operation the patient can go home. If general anesthesia was used, then the discharge is carried out the next day. Without fail, the patient receives a list of medicines that are required to be taken during the rehabilitation period.

Chin Liposuction in Brazil

The double chin does not look aesthetically pleasing, and many will agree with this. Excess subcutaneously fatty tissue in the neck may be a consequence of age-related changes, a hereditary predisposition to fat deposition in this area.

How to get rid of fat in the chin? Remove excess fat by using liposuction. Liposuction of the chin is a fairly popular procedure that allows you to remove the double chin and make the contour of the face more clear.

To get rid of a double chin, young people often want, and therefore liposuction of the chin can not be attributed to age operations.

Together with liposuction of the chin, according to the indications, other rejuvenating procedures and operations on the face, neck can be performed. Everything depends on the size of the initial aesthetic problem and the patient’s expectations of the operation. In the presence of excess skin and wrinkles on the neck, it is often shown the performance of the plastics of the neck, possibly in combination with liposuction.

Only at the internal consultation the plastic surgeon will be able to recommend the most optimal correction option for you.

Liposuction of the chin is performed under local or intravenous anesthesia. Punctures are made in unobtrusive places, which makes postoperative scarring virtually invisible. The operation lasts about 40-60 minutes. After surgery, a special bandage is applied to the patient and after 1-2 hours, most often the patient can go home.

RECOVERY

After the operation, the patient is given a list of medications that need to be taken during the rehabilitation period. With strict adherence to all the recommendations of a plastic surgeon, the patient is recovered after a liposuction of the chin in a relatively short time. As a rule, the first 1-2 days after the operation are less uncomfortable. Sutures are removed on the 3-4 days after the operation.

Preliminary result after liposuction of the chin you can evaluate a month after the operation. After 3-4 months, the final result is evaluated.
