Types of operation
Liposuction is a process of aspiration (suction) of fat from subcutaneous tissue. The approach to this process varies depending on the technology used.
Among the most commonly corrected areas in men are the chin, anterior abdominal wall and waist. For women, these are the sides and hips.
The success of the procedure largely depends on the experience and qualifications of the doctor. Therefore, the choice of specialist and clinic should be carried out with special care.
The following types of body liposuction are distinguished:
- Vacuum Traditional version of abdominal liposuction. In this case, a cannula is used to transform the subcutaneous fat into a homogeneous mass, which is then aspirated. This is a rather traumatic method, but, nevertheless, it allows you to remove significant amounts of fat.
- Tumenescent Subcutaneous tissue is pre-treated with a lipolytic solution. Thanks to this, the fat removal process is less traumatic.
- Ultrasonic This method removes fat with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
- Laser Modern and most delicate method. During the operation, laser radiation specifically destroys fat cells.

Risks
One of the most common risks after fat pumping is the spread of infection. To prevent this, it is necessary for the doctor to comply with all requirements regarding sterility. In addition to infections, there are other potential complications:
- Burns. They can be obtained using ultrasound or laser liposuction. This occurs against the background of strong heating of the instruments
- Emboli (fat, air). These microscopic particles enter the bloodstream and cause blockages in blood vessels. In the most severe cases, death occurs against this background
- Problems with anesthesia. The medicine used before liposuction can cause a number of side effects. Possible allergic reaction and breathing problems
Sometimes there is nerve damage in the area of the procedure. This leads to loss of sensation or disruption of muscle function in the operated area.
Rehabilitation process
Immediately after the procedure there is a feeling of discomfort. Pain is usually mild and well controlled with medication.
There will likely be bruising and swelling in the areas where surgery was performed. These symptoms are the body's normal response to injury and usually resolve on their own within a few weeks.
Main stages of rehabilitation:
- First days. In the first days after surgery, the areas where the procedure was performed become soft to the touch. However, over time they harden due to swelling
- First weeks. During this time, the person should wear compression garments. It reduces swelling and stimulates proper tissue formation
Approximately 1.5 months after the procedure, most patients return to normal physical activity.
