Liposuction

In liposuction, fat is suctioned from different areas and in different quantities to achieve the desired point according to the areas that need sculpting. Some patients wish to increase volume in certain areas, and in these cases, part of the extracted fat can be injected into other places to achieve that volume and shape the figure according to the patient’s expectations. This procedure is known as Liposculpture. It is important to clarify that liposuction and liposculpture are two different procedures that can be complementary. 

In the vast majority of cases, liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is recommended only for small, localized procedures; touch-ups that last no more than 40 minutes, in which the patient can tolerate the intervention consciously and without discomfort.

Liposculpture

Liposculpture

Liposculpture is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is a specialized form of liposuction. It is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body to sculpt and contour the body’s shape. The goal of liposculpture is to create more aesthetically pleasing proportions and enhance the body’s natural contours.
During the liposculpture procedure, small incisions are made in the targeted areas, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out the excess fat. The surgeon carefully sculpts and shapes the
Liposculpture is often used to target areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, chin, and neck. It is suitable for individuals who have stubborn pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery involves inserting silicone breast implants to enhance volume, shape, and texture, aiming for aesthetic appeal. These implants adhere to global quality standards and surpass other types due to their immobility, shape retention, lower risk of rupture and complications, and natural feel. The recovery process is comfortable with minimal downtime after the procedure conducted at our clinic. A crucial preliminary evaluation sets the stage for breast augmentation, determining implant size based on desired augmentation, cost considerations, and critical factors. Indications for breast augmentation encompass cases where increased breast volume is desired for aesthetic reasons or to complement other procedures like breast lifts. Additionally, it serves to rectify reduced breast size post-pregnancy, correct breast asymmetry, and restore breast volume after reconstructive procedures necessitated by breast cancer surgery.

Breast Augmentation with fat transfer

Breast augmentation with fat transfer, also known as autologous fat transfer breast augmentation, involves using the patient’s own fat to increase breast size and shape. This is achieved by harvesting excess fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs via liposuction. The purified fat is then carefully injected into the breasts, layered for a natural, enduring outcome. This procedure appeals to those preferring a natural approach over implants. Advantages include a lifelike appearance and texture, minimal scarring due to small liposuction incisions, and body contouring in donor areas. However, not all qualify as candidates, as sufficient donor fat is necessary.

Results of breast augmentation with fat transfer vary due to individual factors, sometimes requiring multiple sessions for desired outcomes. As with any surgery, consulting a qualified plastic surgeon is vital to determine the suitability of this procedure based on individual goals and medical considerations.

Breast Lift

A breast lift, known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery to elevate and reshape sagging breasts. Factors like pregnancy, weight changes, aging, and gravity can lead to loss of firmness and position. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, surrounding tissue is tightened, lifting the breasts to a more youthful position. Nipples and areolas are repositioned higher, and areola size can be reduced. The result is firmer, aesthetically pleasing breasts.

Note that a breast lift doesn’t significantly change breast size. For both lift and increased volume, a combination of breast lift and augmentation with implants is an option. Best candidates have sagging or drooping breasts but are content with current size. As with any surgery, consult a qualified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach based on goals and anatomy.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, aims to decrease and reshape breast size. Often chosen by those with excessively large breasts causing discomfort, pain, or emotional distress. Excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed for balance, sometimes repositioning nipples and areolas higher. The result: smaller, firmer, lifted breasts that complement the body.

Apart from aesthetics, breast reduction addresses physical issues like pain, irritation, and clothing challenges. Opting for reduction entails thorough consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon, assessing size, health, and history for suitability.

Breast reduction positively impacts both physical and emotional well-being, enhancing confidence and life quality. However, realistic expectations are crucial, understanding potential risks and the recovery process.

Brazilian butt lift (BBL)

The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a sought-after cosmetic procedure aiming to enhance buttock shape and size for a fuller, rounder, lifted look. Unlike implant-based methods, BBL employs the patient’s own fat.

During BBL, excess fat is liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Purified and processed, this fat is then meticulously injected into the buttocks to achieve desired augmentation and contour.

BBL doesn’t just enhance buttocks; it improves overall body contour by removing unwanted fat from other regions, resulting in a more attractive hourglass figure. BBL’s popularity arises from its natural result, differing from traditional implants.

Consult a skilled surgeon to assess candidacy, comprehend risks, and possible complications. Adequate fat availability impacts suitability for BBL.
