One of the most common procedures is liposuction. This is a surgery that seeks to shape the body by extracting fatty tissues from specific areas, but is not indicated for weight loss, such as bariatric surgery.

The BMI or body mass index compares a person's weight and height to have an idea of ​​how healthy their body is. To calculate your BMI simply divide your weight in kilograms between the squared measurment of your height in meters. (Kg / m * m)

As stated, the normal range of BMI is between 18.50 and 29.99. A higher result is associated with the risk of suffering from certain cardiovascular diseases, such as diabetes and strokes.

That is why a liposuction is only done if a person has a BMI below 35. If someone is above this value, it is better to lose weight, get in shape and then it is determined whether or not it is safe to perform the surgery. This is done in order to obtain visible results and not affect the patient's health.

When a person gains weight the whole body feels it, even the armpits. Despite exercise and diets, eliminating the chubbiness that is accumulated from the armpits is very difficult because of their location and also the genetics is sometimes stronger than any desire to change appearance.

However, I have good news: liposuction is a procedure that allows you to extract accumulated fatty tissue from a specific area, which means that, using the lipolaser technique, for example, you can get rid of these annoying rolls.

During your postoperative, you must change your eating habits and adapt a routine of exercises that help to conserve the results you have obtained and you'll begin to take notice that your health also benefits from these new changes.

At the moment of thinking about performing a cosmetic surgery on peoples mind comes an endless number of doubts and questions about that procedure. Usually you look for opinions of acquaintances or relatives who can throw misconceptions and raise doubts.

For this reason it is necessary to consult a doctor expert in the subject and to clear all the doubts. This time I will clear some doubts about one of the most common procedures: liposuction, a surgical technique used to extract localized fat from under the skin, using a cannula and a suction instrument.

One of the main myths is that liposuction is a way to lose weight, but this is an incorrect statement. In fact, if the patient is very overweight, he or she are advised to lower it before doing the liposuction

There are also doubts as to whether the results of liposuction are permanent. It is likely that the patient will gain weight if he does not care for food, but in this case it will be with a more uniform increase.

After a procedure, it is more difficult to find a solution in the sectors where the procedure is performed, It is imsible that this is the case. So the results can be permanent if the patient takes care of their diet and exercise. And, of course, liposuction does not replace diet and exercise. This is why the patient must be disciplined and maintains a health life style of any person who wishes to stay in shape.

Likewise, the question arises about the possibility of making cellulite disappear through this procedure. And I must clarify that liposuction can improve the appearance of the area, but it does not disappear it 100 %.

If you are thinking about doing an aesthetic procedure, whatever it is, it is advisable to get rid of doubts by consulting professionals.

Liposuction is a procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery and became one of the most popular. It can be done in almost all regions of the body like the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs and arms.

It consists of making a few small incisions through which a cannula sucking fat located in this case is inserted in the abdomen. This adipose tissue is injected elsewhere to give harmony and get a slimmer figure.

Bruising and swelling are completely normal and can last from 3 to 6 months after surgery.

Remember to make the lymphatic drainage massage to improve sweeling and remove liquids , this will help for a soon recovery, however every patient has a diffrent evolution. In addition, you should wear a comprhesion garment continuously to prevent seroma, which is a buildup of fluid and it could be painful.

Although the final results of liposculpture take some time to be due at time of final recovery of the body, if you are thinking to perform a procedure of this type is very important that you need to change your nutritional habits to take care of your new shapes and cganges on tyour body after having surgery.

Removing fat from localized areas by lipo aspiration is a very popular and fast process in order to achieve excellent results as a lean body, lose weight and reduce size.

To take care for these new measures after a liposculpture you must change your habits: a meal plan balanced that does not necessarily have to be slavish, but healthy and consistent exercise routine, not only to maintain the results, but keep your body with a good health, give strength to body and vitality.

I recommend that you avoid overly processed foods because they contain compounds that are not healthy for your health. Consume lean protein like turkey, chicken and fish; in your diet includes whole grains like brown rice and oats, leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits and nuts. With respect to the fat, you can opt for a healthy as olive oil , coconut oil, avocado.

I recommend that you obtain a nutritionally assessment for you to take control of your eating behavior and you begin to understand healthy habits to keep the results of your liposuction.

One of the most common combinations is the Tummy Tuck and liposuction, which are not surgical treatments to combat obesity, these surgeries are indicate for correcting areas of the body that have accumulated fat or excess of skin.

The tummy tuck, also known as Abdominoplasty, emphasizes fat stored in the abdomen, excess skin is removed, it removes the sagging abdomen and in some cases, repair of abdominal wall muscle to generate fastness.

While the liposuction process is based on removing accumulated fat through cannulas that generate suction, removing fat to reshape the body, to create a new body contour.

Liposuction is a technique that allows you to shape the silhouette of the body through the removal of adipose tissue (FAT). This procedure is one of the most sought after by my patients and still believes in myths about the surgical procedure:

Myth: liposuction will make me lose weight

Reality: false

Liposuction is a method of body contouring, not a treatment for obesity. Key figure and combats fat deposits, but not good for weight loss. After performing a Liposuction patient must take care of body with balanced diet and physical exercise.

Myth: liposuction remove cellulite

Reality: false

Liposuction does not remove all cellulite, however, can improve the appearance of the skin to give shape to the area.

Myth: the results will be visible from one day to another

Reality: false after a liposuction must be massage and use a special girdle for firming the skin, so you can see the results months after the procedure.

Myth: The surgery will last forever

Reality: true with a healthy diet and regular exercise, liposuction results could be permanent; if patient don't comply with the recommendations will be to accumulate fat in the sites where it was withdrawal.

The body mass index (BMI) of a person determines the level of safety of liposuction and success of its results. It is considered that liposuctions carried out safely depend on the amount of fat a person has in his body.

The volume or amount of fatty tissue that can be removed during liposuction can be determined by the body mass index because prescribe the ideal weight of a person according to their height and weight, if a person has a high BMI, more fat can be removed safely; which means that the calculation is based on the sole condition of each patient body.

Before undergoing a liposuction must prepare your body for at least one or two months prior surgery, through proper nutrition. To prepare the body to deal with stress caused by the surgery increases the need to consume certain vitamins and minerals that will help to avoid the involvement of the immune system, the appearance of fatigue and delays in healing processes.

Some recommendations that will help you in this process are:

1. Drink low fat milk or almond milk at least a cup a day.

2 consume grains and legumes.

3. consume other vitamins: vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin D, K and E.

4 eat meat: fish, poultry or beef, around ¼ pound a day.

5. consume minerals: calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorous among others.

Remember that health and beauty go hand in hand.

I always tell my patients that the use of a girdle after having  a contouring procedure is crucial for successful results. The time of duration of  girdle depends largely on the progress of the recovery, but usually compression garments must be use around 3 months after surgery. Among the benefits offered by the use of the garment are: 1. helps reduce bruising and swelling since the girdle compression optimizes the blood circulation and reduces fluid retention. 2. the compression of the Strip in the surgical area minimizes the movement of tissues involved in the surgery, allows the incisions to remain protected and clean in the early stages of healing by reducing the risk of infection. 3. reduces the risk of irregularities on the surface of the skin such as ripples or bumps. 4. the use of the garment  in  the trat areas  as the abdomen exerts uniform pressure on the area to improve the adhesion of the skin and cure.

Liposuction is a cosmetic operation that demands professional staff, experts in surgery and anesthesia, besides this like any other surgical procedure must be carried in a room specialized as an operating room, and in no way in a room of a House that is not suitable for this type of procedures. All surgery must meet health and formal procedures. To avoid becoming a victim of clandestine places where to practice without any kind of professionalism surgeries, leave some recommendations to keep in mind:

1. it is important to ensure that the person who placed the anesthesia is a qualified medical professional. The lack of a real anesthesiologist can lead to tragic results.

2. the hygienic conditions of the place and the working tools are of total importance, since the lack of asepsis and hygiene in the working tools can cause infections that can be put at risk the life of the patient.

3. people performing such procedures without studies previous, certified and supported by the society of Surgeons of the country, augment the chances of damage to any organ or tissue, to cause death.

Unfortunately some people unscrupulous that lends itself to perform this type of interventions without having sanitation and basic and essential operation conditions putting at great risk to the person who puts in their hands.
