Also known as liposculpture, it is a surgical technique used to remove fat deposits from specific areas of the body such as the abdomen, back, thighs, arms, face, etc., by introducing a cannula with incisions less than 1 cm. The technique is always performed in an operating room, under general or regional anesthesia.<\/p>\n

Under certain circumstances, it may be assisted by ultrasound (VASER) or laser. This fat can be used to enhance other areas.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The recovery time is approximately 3 months, which is the time needed for the swelling to resolve. Remember that it is a body contouring procedure, not for weight loss, as there is a limit to the amount of fat that can be removed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
