Liposuction is a technique that can be used to permanently reshape and contour the body, removing localized fatty deposits. An ideal candidate would have steady weight control and are concerned by localized fat deposits that do not respond to either diet or exercise. They would have firm elastic skin.Liposuction will not work as a treatment for obesity. Weight stability is crucial.

This procedure is one of the most performed techniques for aesthetic surgery in Argentina and around the world. It is applied to various parts of the body, but more commonly the abdomen, the flanks, the thighs, and the buttocks area.

Techniques

Liposuction consists, basically, in the suction of the fat deposits by means of a cannula tube. The volume of fat that can be extracted in a session depending, mainly, on the quality of the skin and its capacity of retraction usually related to the area of the body that is treated. Another technique that is used for liposuction is by the means of ultrasound.

It is designed to minimize tissue trauma therefore lessening the pain and bruising.
