What to do before your procedure?
At your initial consultation with Dr. Marciales, you will discuss your medical history and receive a physical exam. He must be healthy and have realistic goals for his procedure. Dr. Marciales will make recommendations based on his expectations and general health. In some cases, a smaller procedure may be enough to satisfy the goals of it.
Explanation of the procedure:
Liposuction is a surgical technique used to remove unsightly fat deposits from certain areas of the body, including the face and neck, arms, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, knees, calves, and ankles.
Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a method of removing localized deposits of fatty tissue that do not respond to diet or exercise.
What can I expect from a liposculpture procedure?
During the intervention, the specialist and his team will mark the areas of the patient to be treated and normally, the photographers of the clinic where the operation is performed will take photos so that the patient can compare the before and after of the operation. Normally, the area to be treated is usually anesthetized and, once the area is numb, a cannula is inserted through which the tumescent fluid is injected , a solution that will help eliminate excess fat from the area to be removed. through another cannula. This process will be repeated with the different areas that the patient has decided to treat. Finally, the patient will be transferred to the recovery room. The operation will last between two and four hours.
Post operation:
After the operation, the patient will have a sensation of pain that can be combated with analgesics or other medications. During the first two days after the operation, the excess liquid will come out through the pores of the skin. Although the fluid will be pink in color, blood loss will be minimal. Most patients will be able to return to normal life on the second day. At the end of the first week, the patient will begin to feel relieved of the pain that has accompanied him after the operation. After three weeks the tissues will have finished healing .
At 48 hours, only 70 percent of the final result of this operation will be noticeable. One month after the procedure, most patients have fully recovered from it and after three months, they will be able to see the final result, although this period will depend on the area of the body.
What are the risks?
The most common side effects of this operation are discomfort and physical pain that may last for several days, and can last up to two weeks after the operation.
Scarring, skin discoloration and bruising, numbness, bumps, and temporary swelling in certain areas are also normal.
The realistic purpose is to improve the body, not to achieve perfection , which leads many patients to subsequently undergo other treatments to obtain better results. Initially the benefits of this operation may not be admired by the recovery process, especially in the abdomen, and may take up to six months to be fully verified.
In addition, liposculpture is not able to completely stretch the skin of patients in all areas, so doctors recommend this intervention to people who do not have very aged skin, or who are overweight. On the other hand, liposculpture is not an effective treatment against cellulite.
The risks of this operation are the same as any other surgical intervention and include the possibility that the patient suffers an infection, an allergic reaction, a hematoma, a thrombosis, etc.
