Both liposuction and lipofilling have become deeply entrenched in cosmetic procedure. Virtually no cosmetic surgery done today is complete without them. Your hips too big or tummy too large, no problem get a liposuction. Thinking of butt enlargement, simply do fat transfer to hips using lipofilling. Both these procedures are known as lipomodeling. It is an opportunity to change the contours of the face and body without radical plastic surgery and a long postoperative period.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure for vacuuming excess fat and giving the body new contours. It allows you to get rid of body fat when you cannot lose weight through diet and exercise. But liposuction is a contour correction, it does not solve the problem of excess weight.
Liposuction is performed on the thighs, buttocks, back, knees, neck, chin, cheeks, shoulders and abdomen. It is suitable for patients with elastic skin.
First, the body area is pumped with a fat-absorbing solution. The surgeon pierces the skin in natural folds, a cannula is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue – a special hollow tube with a blunt end, which is connected to a vacuum device.
Vessels and nerves remain intact, and punctures leave invisible scars. The operation lasts from half an hour to three hours. Up to five liters of fat can be pumped out in one procedure.
After the procedure, it is worth staying at the clinic for one day. You can return to your daily activities after 3-4 days. If liposuction was performed on the arms, legs, or abdomen, then a compression garment should be worn for six weeks. For the same period, trips to the sauna and sports are prohibited. Liposuction results can be assessed after a month and a half.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is an artificial augmentation and enlargement of body areas with the patient’s own fat. More often it is used to eliminate cosmetic defects of the face in order to:
- Get rid of the nasolabial;
- Correct the lacrimal groove and eyelids;
- Build up your chin;
- Enlarge lips;
- Smooth out wrinkles;
- Change the shape of the cheeks and cheekbones;
- Improve body shape.
Lipofilling of the buttocks, thighs, legs, hands and breasts is popular. Lipofilling is often combined with liposuction, as well as a facelift, abdominal and eyelid surgery.
So, you can enlarge the buttocks or breasts by transplanting excess fat from the abdomen and thighs into these areas. Using your own adipose tissue reduces the risk of complications.
The operation takes place as follows: with the help of cannulas, fat cells are recruited, they are cleaned of impurities and put into the desired zones. After lipofilling, not all fat is engrafted – it depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.
