<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLiposuction involves removal of subcutaneous fat by vacuum suction through small incisions. While this procedure can be carried out only by means of mechanical suction, the most effective way today is water-jet assisted liposuction, a technique using a high-pressure jet of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The water jet dislodges fat cells and simultaneously applies a local anaesthetic to the area to be treated. In water-jet assisted liposuction there is no need for general anaesthesia, with an exception of cases where a large amount of fat is removed. This is a more gentle method and it is also suitable for fat grafting. The harvested fat tissue can be immediately transferred to, for example, the breasts. No more than 5 litres of fat can be removed at a time. The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of tissue to be removed; on average the procedure takes 1\u20133 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As in any surgery, it is essential to minimize the risks. The patient must be in good health and stop smoking and taking aspirin-type drugs a couple of weeks before the procedure as these increase the risk of bleeding and skin complications. The risk of thrombosis can be prevented with blood-thinning medication and compression stockings.
Water-jet-assisted liposuction is an outpatient procedure. As no general anesthesia is used, the patient will not feel nauseous due to anesthesia. Recovery is generally fast. Bruises and soreness disappear within a week from the body shaping procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Postoperative care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Postoperative monitoring is continued in the medical clinic until the patient is fit enough to be discharged. Straight after the water-jet-assisted liposuction a custom-fitted compression garment \u201cis tied\u201d around the treated area. It is recommended that it is worn continuously for at least two weeks but preferably for six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can take a shower on the second day after the procedure and the small wounds can also be showered. The wounds are usually covered with a surgical tape and the stitches are removed after a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first the treated area is sore, swollen and bruised. It is recommended that you should move about normally, even out of doors. You should avoid profuse sweating, strenuous physical activity and sauna bathing for about a week. The restoration of skin elasticity and the reduction of \u201cexcess skin\u201d can be promoted by LPG-massage and lymphatic massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a light job, no sick leave is necessary. If your job involves strenuous physical work, it is advisable to take a couple of weeks off after the procedure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
