All About Liposuction
What is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the world? Liposuction. It is most commonly performed in the United States, followed by Brazil.
Liposuction is a surgery that involves inserting a small tube with a small hole at the end into areas that are not easily treated with diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, sides, and arms, to suck out accumulated unnecessary fat, thereby correcting sagging skin and lumpy fat into smooth lines.
Patients who have undergone liposuction in one area with excellent results also have a high rate of undergoing surgery in other areas. Depending on the individual’s body type and the area that causes complexes, surgery should be performed after sufficient consultation with a medical professional.
Liposuction: procedure Process
Liposuction employs a thin metal tube called a cannula to suction fat cells from areas such as the thighs, abdomen, and upper arms. Suction is generated through the holes in the cannula to remove fat, and by moving the cannula in multiple directions or creating vibrations, the fat is broken down and made easier to suction. This process ensures the fat is removed evenly, resulting in a balanced and natural contour.
At SH Clinic, liposuction is performed using a solution called tumescent that dissolves fat. This method causes minimal damage to surrounding tissues, reducing bruising and swelling, and aids in faster recovery.

Liposuction: Key Information
When losing weight through exercise or dieting, it can be difficult to achieve balanced results. For example, you might want to lose belly fat, but end up losing fat from the face or other areas instead. Additionally, while the size of fat cells decreases, the number of fat cells remains the same, making it easy for the body to return to its original state if weight is regained.
However, liposuction effectively removes fat from specific areas and reduces the number of fat cells, making those areas less affected by future weight changes. As a result, the surgically treated areas can maintain their improved shape even if some weight is regained.

Liposuction: Who We Recommend It For
Body areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, and upper arms, which show minimal improvement through diet or exercise, are referred to as localized fat deposition areas.
Unlike other areas where fat is more evenly distributed, these regions tend to accumulate fat in a concentrated manner. Liposuction is necessary to remove fat cells that have built up in these localized areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes accumulated fat from areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, sides, and arms. A small tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out unnecessary fat, resulting in smoother body contours.
How does liposuction work?
The procedure involves inserting a thin metal tube called a cannula into the targeted area. The cannula’s holes generate suction to remove fat cells. It moves in various directions or vibrates to break down fat, ensuring even removal and natural body lines. A fat-dissolving solution called tumescent is injected to minimize damage to surrounding tissues and promote quicker recovery with less bruising and swelling.
What are the benefits of liposuction?
Liposuction effectively removes fat from specific areas and reduces the number of fat cells, making the treated area less susceptible to weight changes. This leads to smoother body contours and can address areas that are difficult to target through diet and exercise alone.
What should I consider before undergoing liposuction?
It’s important to have a thorough consultation with a medical professional to design a procedure that considers your individual body type. Factors such as the specific area to be treated, your overall health, and your expectations should be discussed to ensure optimal results.
What is the recovery process like after liposuction?
Post-operative care is crucial for optimal results. The use of tumescent solution during the procedure helps with quick recovery by reducing bruising and swelling. Following the surgeon’s aftercare instructions, including wearing compression garments and attending follow-up appointments, will aid in a smoother recovery process.
