Liposuction Lausanne

Despite dieting and countless hours of exercise, many people just can’t get rid of certain troublesome areas of fat. Liposuction, also known as liposuction, is the method of choice for permanently reshaping the figure. Good candidates for liposuction are those with localized excess fat, elastic skin, stable weight and realistic expectations. Liposuction is not a means of weight loss and is not a good indication for obese patients. Patients in excess of a BMI of 30 to 32 have a significantly higher risk of post-operative complication, which is why we do not operate on these patients. However, in carefully selected cases in patients not exceeding a BMI of 32, diffuse excess fat can benefit from liposuction and help secondary weight loss. This is known as starter liposuction. It is medically advisable to remove no more than 5 to 6 liters of fat per session. Liposuction does not improve stretch marks or cellulite. The procedure is suitable for all those with sufficient skin tone, and can treat the following areas: stomach, hips, saddlebags, thighs, back, knees, arms, buttocks and chest in men. That’s how effective liposuction is!

During the initial consultation for your liposuction, we make sure that liposuction is a treatment that will meet your expectations. To this end, we clarify questions about your general state of health. We measure body weight, height, fat percentage and thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer. If the skin is very loose, other procedures such as arm, tummy or thigh lifts are suggested. During the initial consultation, the areas to be treated will be drawn up in a standing position and checked in front of a mirror. A blood test is required prior to the procedure. When liposuction of the abdomen is desired, an ultrasound scan to check for hernia is systematically performed. Smoking should ideally be stopped 3 weeks before and 3 weeks after liposuction. Blood-thinning drugs such as NSAIDs should be stopped 10 days before your liposuction.

For a harmonious, natural result, the problem areas are marked in the standing position. While lying down, the surgical area for your liposuction is disinfected and sterile-coated. A tumescent solution is then passed through very small incisions – only 3 to 4 mm – into the marked areas. It contains analgesics and medication to relieve subsequent bruising. Aspiration is then performed using micro-suction cannulas. To ensure optimum results, several checks are carried out in the standing position. This process helps to avoid irregularities. The duration of the operation depends on the amount of fat to be removed and the type of anesthesia. One to four hours is usual. The procedure can generally be performed on an outpatient basis. Between 1 and 4 liters of fat can be removed in a single session. For health reasons, it is not recommended to remove more than 5 liters of fat per session during your liposuction.

A Marena ® compression girdle will be fitted immediately after the procedure. It supports the skin’s adaptation processes and must be worn for three weeks, day and night. During the first night after the procedure, liquid from the tumescent solution will emerge from the small incisions. The first shower can be taken 48 hours after liposuction. Antibiotic prophylaxis is required for three days. Pain is often cramp-like, appearing a few hours after the procedure. They are at their most intense after 3 to 4 days, and generally disappear after 1 week. One week after liposuction, the treated area is often swollen and indurated. Swelling and induration diminish after 2 to 3 weeks, and definitively after 3 to 6 months. To avoid irregularities and hardening of the treated areas due to soft tissue healing, LPG Endermologie treatment is strongly recommended one week after liposuction. Sensitivity problems are common after this procedure. Sensitivity returns a few weeks to a few months later. A stable weight is an important measure for achieving an optimal final result. The final result can only be assessed a few weeks to 3 months after the operation. If you have any questions, you can always contact us personally by telephone using our emergency number after your liposuction.

Sensitivity disorders are common after this procedure. Sensitivity returns a few weeks to a few months later. Bruising, redness and slight swelling appear regularly after the operation, but resolve over time. Slight bumps and asymmetries are also possible. As we carry out regular checks during the operation, the risk of a bump or asymmetry after surgery is low. Infections and hematomas are very rare after liposuction. The risk of thrombosis or embolism is extremely low when your liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic.
