Liposuction of legs

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery to remove excess fat tissue from different parts of the body, including the legs. Disproportionate body contours can be corrected with liposuction. It is recommended to trust the implementation of this procedure to trusted specialists. More than 70% of the population suffers from excess fat deposition in the leg area, this problem can be solved in our clinic!

The accumulation of fat in the knee area is completely unpredictable. Fat in this area is almost impossible to remove by physical activity. Liposuction is indicated to correct the shape and volume of the knees. Calf liposuction will quickly get rid of these unnecessary accumulations. There are a large number of blood vessels and nerves in the ankle area, therefore, this area is operated very carefully.

The main indications for leg liposuction are:

asymmetry of the limbs;

the desire to visually increase the volume of muscle mass in the lower leg area;

Regardless of the chosen technique, the operation follows one algorithm.

For two weeks, patients are prohibited from taking medications, alcohol, nicotine. This is done to prevent possible complications. You cannot eat or drink for 8 hours. During the operation itself, the following course of the procedure occurs:

Marking the problem area with highlighting puncture sites.
Leather treatment with special products.
Injection of the anesthetic chosen by the anesthesiologist together with the patient.
After anesthesia, punctures are performed in problem areas.
Liquefaction of adipose tissue is performed.
The processed fat is removed using a special vacuum suction.
After that, the punctures are sutured with a cosmetic suture.
A compression bandage is applied. On average, the procedure takes no more than 1.5-2 hours.

One of the main advantages of leg liposuction is the predictable result. You can simulate the desired effect of the operation. Anesthesia before liposuction in most cases is used general, intravenous.

Low risk of postoperative complications (inflammation, suppuration).
The stitches after the intervention are invisible.
Fast and lasting effect of the procedure (during the procedure, all fat is removed from the problem area).
Rejuvenating effect (after the procedure, the skin actively synthesizes new collagen, due to which the surface of the legs becomes elastic, smooth, without traces of cellulite).

Often, you should be ready for such items: marker, antiseptic, anesthetic (pain reliever), syringe, medical needle, cotton swabs and discs, a special solution to thin fat, vacuum suction, cosmetic thread, needle, compression bandage.
