High definition (HD) liposuction of the female pubic area

The fat in our body accumulates in 3 areas:

Subcutaneous fat: If I tell you that these are the “love handles” or “love handles” you will surely understand me. It is the fat that accumulates just under the skin and before the muscles that really interests us in this case and is so noticeable. This type of fat can usually be lost more easily through exercise. Attention! it does not work the same and does not accumulate in the same areas for everyone. Depending on our genetic inheritance and our hormones, fat can accumulate more in some areas than in others. For men it usually accumulates in the belly and torso, but for women it accumulates in the hips and thighs.

Visceral fat: It is more internalized in our organism. It is around the organs, which is dangerous if it accumulates in excess. Normally an excess of visceral fat is preceded by an excess of subcutaneous fat, hence the importance for our health to avoid developing a protruding belly or excessively wide hips and thighs. If you don’t have fat like love handles, love handles or cellulite, you hardly have it around your organs.

Intramuscular fat: It is usually very little and stays inside the muscles. Like the fat you can see in acorn-fed ham. Nothing to do with the other two types of fat. Obese people who have fat in their muscles can develop diabetes because we become insulin resistant. But this is another topic …

In short, right now we are talking about how to eliminate subcutaneous fat, that of love handles, love handles and cellulite, in the area you are interested in.

And this is where the magic word begins: HIGH DEFINITION LIPOSUCTION.

Liposuction can be used to remove excess fat from different areas of the body. These are the different areas we can treat:

• Liposuction of the face and neck
• Liposuction of the pectorals (gynecomastia)
• Liposuction of arms and armpits
• Liposuction of abdomen and back
• Liposuction of male or female pubis
• Liposuction of the buttocks
• Liposuction of the legs

To perform liposuction it is only necessary to make a cut of between 3 and 5 millimeters in each area to be treated, nothing more. The size depends on the size of the tube (called a cannula) used to aspirate the fat. This means that if it is on the pectorals there will be this cut on each pectoral. If it is on the arms there will be one on each arm, if it is on the buttocks one on each buttock, if they are larger areas such as the abdomen there may be two cuts, one on each side.

This small mark remains almost invisible afterwards. It’s like what you would be left with after removing a freckle from your skin, a wart or something like that.

In the example we can see in the photo on the right a small dot of the scar that with time will be practically erased. It is very small: 3 to 5 millimeters.

Well, yes, I really do! and also definitive if you do it right.

Let me tell you: If you diet by eating less or doing sports, what you are actually doing is removing the fat accumulated in those cells, called adipocytes. What you achieve is to deflate them, to leave them empty. As if they were inflated or deflated balloons. But they are still there, waiting for you to come back to accumulate excess energy. With liposuction what we are doing is eliminating the fat cells, we are removing them from where they were. This means that you will not be able to put on weight in this area unless your excesses are really exaggerated. But to put weight back on in that area you have to eat in a very exaggerated way. If you eat a lot but not too much, what will happen is that you will put on weight in other areas of the body, but not in that one.

YES, and in fact it is the norm. Our patients usually have liposuction of several areas taking advantage of the operating room, anesthesia, etc. at one time. It ends up being a significant money saver. If you plan to do so, take advantage of it, you will pay for only one operating room, only one anesthesiologist …

It is clear that, if we are talking about a large liposuction, we are limited to the number of hours needed to perform it and the amount of anesthesia that this implies. We do not perform liposuction for more than 4 or 5 hours. If this is the case, it would have to be done by zones on different days, but this is not very common.

Liposuction is the conventional technique where a small cannula is used to remove fat accumulations from certain areas of the body. The lipolaser requires a special fiber optic device that transmits laser energy, this energy produces a destruction of the fat. The fat is converted into a liquid emulsion that is left for the body to reabsorb (if the amount is not too large) or can be removed by aspiration through a cannula. In addition to fat removal, the laser causes coagulation of the small vessels of the adipose tissue and stimulates the reorganization of collagen in the superficial dermis causing an immediate skin tightening or firming effect.

Liposuction, like any cosmetic surgery procedure, can be performed at any time of the year. The only consideration to take into account is the need to wear a pressotherapy girdle in the operated area for a month after the intervention, which prevents the patient from going to the swimming pool or the beach.

Not if it is well done. Once puberty has passed, fat cells take a long time to reproduce, but they maintain the capacity to “grow”, which is why once we eliminate the number of fat cells (adipocytes) these accumulations cannot develop, as long as we have a healthy diet without excesses.

The time of the bath will mark the moment when the girdle can be removed and repositioned without causing discomfort and that the swelling begins to subside, this may be after 2 or 3 days of the intervention.

The result of a liposuction is brutal, people leave delighted because you can see the result NOW. Your clothes will fit big, a pleasure for your eyes. What is certain is that the first week after the operation you will have a hard time, it would be absurd to say otherwise. From there it depends on the pain threshold of each individual. We consider it essential to be quiet, to stay at home and not go to work. It’s going to be a bad week, but you’ll get over it. It’s the usual, when you see the result you forget the bad time of this first week.

From the second week onwards, things get much better. You won’t be well, but it will be something else. From our experience we can say that you can usually return to work after 10 days. But it depends a bit on the person and especially on the type of work. It is not the same as an office job that you can sit quietly and go about doing, or a physical job in the construction industry, standing in a store or if you have to carry weights.

Yes, very much so. Cellulite or orange peel skin is a skin problem that manifests itself as very frequent small depressions in the buttocks, legs and hips. Liposuction cures and improves cellulite by reducing the volume of certain areas. Partially eliminates fibrous septa and promotes better lymphatic drainage.

At Clínica Sanza Barcelona, we are specialists in liposuction. Let’s say it’s our main course, after more than 30 years dedicated to this. It allows us to perform large liposuctions that other centers are not prepared for.

Dr. Sanza has taught many plastic surgeons around the world his techniques for performing major liposuction, and thanks to him his methodology is now practiced in more clinics worldwide.

Patients with little fat can remove from 100 grams to 1 liter of fat, while larger patients can be talking about up to 20 liters of fat in one go. Imagine what a great result. Suddenly they find themselves with 4 or 6 pant sizes less, very strong!

Do you know what happens? Fat weighs much less than muscle and that is why when you take out many liters the volume you reduce is brutal.

Yes, of course, just remember that liposuction is not a method to lose weight but to lose volume. Clinica Sanza has a very extensive and protocolized casuistry for liposuction of large volumes (from 10 to 15 liters), a technique that we have published in different specialized magazines and that we have presented in multiple national and international medical congresses.

Bruising (hematomas) and swelling may appear in the area for a few days, even weeks. Bruising usually disappears after 7 to 14 days and the most evident swelling after one to two weeks. Subsequently, there is some residual swelling that is not very noticeable and that can be maintained for a month or two after the intervention.

Basically, you must follow the case-specific instructions given to you by your surgeon. On the other hand, compression garments must be worn for a period of 3 to 5 weeks (depending on the evolution of each patient). We suggest lymphatic drainage to eliminate edema, swelling and accelerate the disappearance of bruises.

Once the acute inflammation has passed, the initial results can be seen after 3 weeks to 2 months depending on the extent of the intervention, although the definitive results may take 6 to 9 months.

It is due to poor technique of the surgeon. If done correctly it is impossible for it to re-form, even if you become pregnant and after delivery you keep the weight after liposuction the result remains as we had left it.
