Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat deposited in various areas of the body, improving their shape and overall silhouette. Today, both traditional liposuction and Smart Lipo laser liposuction are used. The latter is a more advanced liposculpting technique that utilizes the power of the ND:YAG laser, making the process of removing stubborn localized fat more painless and completely safe.
The best candidates for liposuction are individuals of normal weight with elastic skin who have localized fat in specific areas of the body. Although not directly related, clinical observation has shown that successful liposuction can also produce excellent results in reducing localized cellulite. Liposuction is a very safe technique when performed by a qualified, specialized plastic surgeon. Recovery time is short, and one can typically return to daily activities within two weeks (after traditional liposuction) or even the next day (after Smart Lipo laser liposuction).
Liposuction is not a substitute for diet or exercise, nor is it a treatment for obesity. It is also not a weight-loss method, although it has been observed that after liposuction, individuals often regain their self-confidence and are more motivated to follow a balanced diet.
As a result, gradual weight loss is often observed after liposuction, especially if the individual was overweight beforehand.
