Liposuction
Our body stores fat in two layers, deep and superficial. The superficial layer ensures the healthy appearance of our skin.
The deep layer is primarily responsible for storing fat. Genetically, the number of our fat cells is determined, but these cells can grow indefinitely as we gain weight. Liposuction is performed on individuals who are close to their ideal weight or at their ideal weight to change and reshape the fat distribution in the body. It involves the removal of fat from the deep layer using millimeter-sized cannulas and vacuum systems.
Liposuction performed on the superficial layer can enhance the visibility of the desired shape, but it may also bring some complications.
Therefore, it is crucial for the patient to be at their ideal weight. In cases where planning involves the skin, superficial liposuction and energy-based devices can be used.
Liposuction is a safe and beneficial procedure when performed on the right patient. However, if done with incorrect indications, especially for the purpose of weight loss, it can complicate the surgical process, pose life-threatening risks, and increase the rate of complications.
