Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is a surgical technique used to remove fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including the cheeks and neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, and knees and ankles. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss but rather a method to eliminate localized fat accumulations that do not respond to diet or exercise. If you are considering liposuction, you will receive basic information about the surgery, when it is indicated, how it is performed, and what results can be expected. However, it is impossible for all your questions to be answered as they largely depend on personal factors and the preferences of the plastic surgeon.
Planning your liposuction
During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess your overall health, existing fat deposits, and the tone and firmness of your skin. Alternative methods for improving body contour, such as abdominoplasty, will be explained, and the options or combination of procedures that are best for you will be discussed. You should express your expectations honestly and openly, so the plastic surgeon can also be frank with you and show the available alternatives for your issue, along with the risks and limitations of each. The type of anesthesia to be used, the need for admission to the clinic where the surgery will be performed, and the costs of the intervention will also be explained. Liposuction for aesthetic purposes is not covered by the Social Security benefits. Don't forget to mention if you have had any significant weight loss or gain. Additionally, you should disclose if you are a smoker or taking any medication or vitamins. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, especially those related to your expectations about the results.

Risks and Guarantees
Liposuction is a safe technique, as long as the patient is well selected, the operating room is well equipped, and it is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. However, in some cases complications can occur, especially when large amounts of fat are removed at one time. Another uncommon, although possible, complication is fluid accumulation (which must be drained) and skin injury. Although serious complications are very rare, infection and excessive fluid loss can cause a serious situation. The risks can be reduced by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon who performs this technique in an authorized clinic and carefully following their instructions. Liposuction scars are minimal and strategically placed so that they are hidden, even when we wear a bikini. However, some aesthetic problems may arise, regardless of the experience of the plastic surgeon, such as undulations on the treated skin, pigmentation changes that can be permanent if we are exposed to the sun. In some cases asymmetries may occur that require a second intervention.

The results
Liposuction is a highly effective technique for providing a new body contour with minimal scarring. The results can be permanent as long as you maintain a proper diet and engage in regular exercise. If you gain weight, it will be more evenly distributed and not just in localized fat deposits. Most patients are very satisfied with the results of their liposuction; they can wear a wider variety of clothing and are more content with their bodies. As long as your future expectations are realistic, you will be happy with your new silhouette.
