Liposuction

The procedure can “sculpture” your body by removing extra fat from tummy, buttocks, arms, knees, cheeks and neck.

You must remember that liposuction is not an alternative for diet and exercise, it’s main target is to help remove extra fat from areas in which fat reduction cannot be done successfully by dieting.

The ideal candidates for the surgery are people with normal weight, elastic skin and areas of “fat pockets” in their body. There are no age limits but older people has less elastic skin and therefore might get results that are worse then the younger patients.

Liposuction can be done by several techniques: solution injection – in which the surgeon injects a special solution to the fat tissue. The solution consists of anesthetics to reduce pain. Adrenalin to reduce bleeding and fluid to help separate the fat from the tissue.

The tumescent technique – much larger amounts of solution is being injected. Surgeons use this method, which allows to inject large amounts of anesthetics, and therefore this kind of procedure can be done with local anesthetics. The operation usually takes longer than the first one (4-5 hours).

The super wet technique in which the amount of solution injected equals the amount of fat tissue removed. This method also takes longer time and has to be done with general anesthetics.

Ultrasound assisted lipoplasty is another technique in which sound waves targeted to fat tissue. The waves break the connection between the fat cells, which are then being removed by suction. This method can be used in areas with connective tissue like the back and male breasts and also in areas that require more precise suction.

After the surgery to avoid swelling the areas of the suction will have elastic bandages. The surgeon may also leave draining tubes to prevent fluid collection. You might also receive antibiotics to prevent an infection.

Every surgery has its complications.

In liposuction of 5 liter of fat and more there is a risk of fat or clot emboli to the lungs and even death. Extra fluids might be difficult to remove. The suction tube may cause skin necrosis or alter sensation in the area due to nerve damage. The ultrasound technique regarded as relatively safe produces, but it is a new one therefore the long term damage still unknown. In general, the surgery presents an extra risk for patients with diabetes, lung and heart disease and for those who had similar procedure in the past

Liposculpture – Aqua-Shape

What is Liposculpture?

Liposculpture is a refined form of liposuction used mainly for reducing fat and re-sculpting the body for aesthetic appeal. Liposculpture, or tumescent liposuction, is different from ordinary liposuction since it involves lesser invasion and more precision and is performed with miniature instruments under local anesthetics.

Who Should Opt For Liposculpture?

Both men and women who have been unable to lose ungainly fat even after exercise and dieting can opt for Liposculpture. However, since the surgery is contraindicated in case of many common ailments like heart diseases and diabetes, only your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you whether you can go for Liposculpture or not. A Liposculpture is the best possible solution for those who want to remove “hard to get rid of” fat from under the chin, thighs, tummy, hips, knees, calves, flanks and arms.

The Liposculpture Process

Extremely thin (2mm approx) hollow tubes called cannulas are inserted through quarter inch incisions in the area from which fat is to be removed. A tumescent solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine, which acts as an anesthetic and loosens and liquefies the fat tissues to be removed is injected before the fat is sucked out through the cannulas. Pain during the procedure is minimal and most patients are asked to change positions and stand up during surgery in order to provide the best results. A tumescent lipoplasty may take anything from two to four hours depending upon the complexity of the plastic surgery being performed.

Liposculpture – Benefits

A liposculpture can provide you with well toned and well sculpted body parts in a very short time, and is especially great for areas from which loosing fat is next to impossible.

What is AquaShape?

AquaShape is an innovative liposuction and fat transfer procedure which uses a unique pulsating spray of water to gently obtain your own fat. TheAquaShapeTM procedure taps into your own natural resources to help replenish and restore your youthful beauty.

Safe, simple and effective, the AquaShape procedure removes unwanted fat as well as restores your natural contour to the face, hands, breasts and buttocks. Unlike temporary tissue fillers, collagen and implants, AquaShape™ uses your body’s own natural fat to achieve exceptional, long-lasting results with minimal patient downtime.

Whether its solely removing unwanted fat permanently (Body) or using your fat as a natural filler (Breast & Butt; Face & Hands), the AquaShape™ procedure can help.

BODY

If you have trouble areas of stubborn fat that won’t go away no matter how much you diet and exercise, the AquaShape procedure can help. AquaShape by body-jet is a minimally invasive liposuction technique.

The gentle method of water-jet assisted liposuction will give you superior body contouring results. Since there’s no need for general anesthesia, AquaShape™ by body-jet® reduces medical risk, while minimizing patient downtime.

AquaShape dramatically decreases bruising, swelling and bleeding.

And, since AquaShape permanently removes fat cells in the treated areas, you can expect outstanding body contouring with long-lasting results.

During the AquaShape procedure, your unwanted fatty areas will be gently flushed away. By gently removing the fat with the body-jet, the AquaShape™ procedure avoids the aggressive and traumatic actions of traditional and power assisted liposuction.

This means significantly less bruising and swelling, with lower medical risk and less downtime. AquaShape by body-jet can achieve significantly better body contouring with outstanding, long-lasting results.

How does AquaShape work?

Your AquaShape physician uses the body-jet liposuction device to gently flush the fat from your body. The fat is removed by a pulsating spray of water that dislodges and loosens your fat cells. The water and fat cells are simultaneously suctioned back out together. For most patients, the procedure can be done in the office in just 30 to 45 minutes.

Is AquaShape different than traditional liposuction methods?

Yes! Unlike traditional liposuction methods requiring general anesthesia, the AquaShape procedure requires only local anesthesia. This means less medical risk for patients. The AquaShape™ procedure permanently removes fat cells by gently flushing the fat from the body, so there’s significantly less bruising and swelling.

How long is the recovery period after AquaShape?

Individual recovery depends on many factors; including how much fat is removed and which body parts are treated. In most cases, patient downtime is minimal, and many patients may return to normal activities the same day. You should discuss with your physician what to expect in your situation.

ANTI-AGING: FACE&HANDS

How can the AquaShape procedure help me?

As we age, our skin changes, both at the surface and underneath. Skin becomes less elastic, collagen production slows down, and there’s a reduction in the natural fatty tissue that helps to give the body and face its youthfulness.

These changes can give rise to wrinkles, folds, and deep hollows around the eyes, the cheeks, and the mouth. Your hands can also show signs of aging, as wrinkled skin, veins and tendons become more prominent. The AquaShape procedure allows you to use your own natural fat in order to restore youthful fullness in the face and hands.

During the AquaShape procedure, excess fat is harvested and removed from targeted areas of your body where it is unwanted and not needed. Once removed it can then be re-injected into areas where extra fullness are desired and can help reduce the signs of aging. AquaShape can help enhance volume in your face and hands.

How does AquaShape work?

For most people, the earliest signs of aging are written clearly across the face, but many important changes actually take place below the skin’s surface, in the deeper, dermal layers. In addition to reduced collagen production and decreased skin elasticity, there’s also depletion in the natural fatty tissue that helps define the youthful contours of the face.

This loss of facial fat volume can cause pronounced changes in the way we look. Cheekbone lines can lose youthful definition, and once soft transitions between facial structures can become more distinct, producing sharper features, deeper creases, and “hollowing” around the cheeks and eyes. Loss of facial volume can make us look older, but AquaShape™ can help restore lost volume, soften contours and reduce the signs of aging.

AquaShape allows you to enjoy your own personal fountain of youth.

During the AquaShape procedure, a gentle jet of water dislodges and harvests excess fat from selected areas of your body.Doctors are able to harvest natural fat cells through a gentle process using water to gently dislodge your fat cells from selected areas of your body. These cells remain intact and are ready for immediate transfer.

This natural fat is then re-injected into the face and hands to restore youthful contours. AquaShape uses only your own natural fat cells, minimizing the risk for infection and providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.

BODY CONTOURING: BREAST & BUTT
AquaShape is an advanced fat harvesting and fat transfer technique that can help smooth irregularities, lift and shape, improve contour and add volume to the breasts and/or buttocks. The AquaShape procedure uses the body-jet liposuction and fat transfer device to achieve outstanding, long lasting results, with less medical risk and minimal patient downtime.

How can AquaShape help me?

Many people have stubborn areas of fat that won’t vanish, no matter how much they diet and exercise. Have you ever wanted to move some of that fat to areas where you’d like to see a little extra volume, like your breasts or buttocks?

With the AquaShape procedure you can. During the AquaShape procedure your own natural fat cells are gently harvested from unwanted areas and then transferred into the breasts or buttocks in order to enhance shape and size.

AquaShape may be used to smooth out breast irregularities, augment breast and buttocks size, improve dimpling and visible edges around implants, and enhance overall breast and buttocks contours.

How does AquaShape work?

The AquaShape procedure uses the body-jet liposuction and fat transfer device to remove unwanted fat from targeted areas of your body while improving body contouring. Once the fat is removed it is then re-injected in strategic areas to enhance volume and shape in the breasts and/or buttocks.

How is AquaShape different from artificial implants?

With AquaShape you are using your own natural fat to enhance your breasts and/or buttocks instead of artificial implants. AquaShape fat injections can give breasts and buttocks a softer, smoother and more natural-looking appearance.

Unlike artificial breast implants, your breast fells absolutely natural, there are no visible scars and you can expect that no additional surgery and costs will be incurred (usually you can expect that at some point in your life, a breast implant will have to be taken out).

Furthermore doctors are not restricted to a predetermined size and shape of breast implant, but they can contour the breast’s natural shape.

Additionally, you’ll be able to take advantage of outstanding body contouring in the donor areas through the AquaShape by body-jet procedure.

Can I have the AquaShape procedure if I already have implants?

Yes! Some people are unhappy with the appearance of their artificial implants after time. AquaShape™ may be used to correct irregularities, improve dimpling, and smooth out visible edges around implants.

What kind of results can I expect with AquaShape?

Individual results will depend on many factors, including the amount of fat available from donor sites and the amount of increased breast and buttocks volume desired. Please get in touch with us to discuss your expectations and individual circumstances

How long until I can return to my normal activities after AquaShape?

Individual recovery depends on many factors, including how much fat is removed and which body parts are treated. In most cases, patient downtime is minimal, and many patients may return to normal activities the same day. You should discuss with your physician what to expect in your situation.

Why liposuction?

Even a well-trained body of normal weight can have its problem zones. Extra weight carried in such areas rarely responds to diet and exercise. Hereditary factors and hormones determine how fat cells are distributed in our bodies.

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells in order to give the body a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

Using the gentle power of water to reduce hip padding

Water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) is an innovative, gentle method for the surgical reduction of persistent fat stores.

In this method irrigation solution is introduced into the fatty tissue with a pulsating spray action using a special cannula. This solution is then immediately suctioned off – together with the loosened fat cells. The gentle water-jet loosens the fat and makes it possible to remove fat cells permanently while sparing subcutaneous tissues.

The water jet helps minimise risks

Compared with conventional liposuction methods WAL removes fat with much less force and a significantly lower risk of side effects. With other methods the irrigation solution must remain in the body for a certain period of time in order to take effect.

This waiting period is minimised with water-jet assisted liposuction, significantly reducing overall treatment time. With the water-jet method there is no risk of thermal injury (e.g. burns) and a much lower risk of bruise formation and injury to the sensitive nerve tissues under the skin.

The strands of connective tissue responsible for skin tightening remain largely intact beneath the skin, like exposed tree roots. For you this means excellent chances of being practically pain-free within just a few days of the treatment.

The procedure is easier to perform

The liposuction methods used to date require that subcutaneous adipose tissue be infused with a large volume of anaesthetic solution in preparation for the treatment. In this process the natural contours are lost, the body appears inflated and, for orientation during the liposuction procedure, the surgeon must rely on lines drawn on the skin prior to the treatment.

This is not the case with WAL: In this treatment local anaesthesia is continually applied to the exact site of treatment throughout the procedure along with the irrigation solution. As a result the patient experiences significantly less swelling in the treatment area, making it much easier for the surgeon to assess treatment results during the procedure. This contributes significantly to surgical accuracy and precision of the outcome.

WAL-benefits:

• Safety

Patient is less exposed to TLA, operation risk is minimised
