High-Definition Liposuction vs. Conventional Liposuction

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the surgery take?
The duration of the procedure depends on the number of areas to be treated. For example, a HD liposuction covering the abdomen, back, thighs, and with fat transfer to another area generally takes around 4 hours.

When can the results of High-Definition Liposculpture be seen?
Generally, the final result can be appreciated between 3 and 6 months depending on the extent of the area, the amount of fat extracted, the liposuction technique, and skin tightening methods used, as well as the physical and genetic characteristics of each patient.

How many sizes can be lost with High-Definition Liposculpture?
Since HD liposuction removes localized fat that is difficult to reduce with diets and exercise, the amount that doctors consider safe to extract is about 5 liters, which is approximately equivalent to 4 or 5 kilos, potentially resulting in a reduction of two to three sizes. However, it should not be considered as a weight loss method; rather, it is a body contouring procedure that should be approached with an adequate weight for a safe surgery.

Who is the ideal candidate for HD liposuction?
The best candidate for liposuction is someone who is at a normal weight for their height and age, has localized fat deposits in specific areas, or has slight overweight. Lipo sculpture is not a method for losing weight but for contouring the body. Candidates should be healthy, have good skin elasticity, and typically exercise to achieve an athletic appearance. The best way to evaluate candidacy is to schedule a consultation and define expectations and goals for the procedure.

Are there risks associated with this surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, there are associated risks, which are generally outweighed by the benefits. These risks can be minimized by following appropriate precautions and guidelines. It is crucial to adhere to all medical recommendations before and after the surgery to ensure successful outcomes.
