This is the most sought surgery over the last 10 years. It's the procedure that is considered with the
most artistic touch from the plastic surgeon. The main indication is the accumulation of fat in the
located areas or in certain parts of the body. These can be related to hormonal or inheritance factors
and may be located in areas that don't change with diet and exercise. Men accumulate fat on the
sides and abdomen, and the women accumulate fat on the hips, legs and abdomen. The technique
is done with epidural block and sedation or with general anesthesia. The desired areas are marked
and afterwards a solution is injected in order to decrease the bleeding and then 3 to 4mm tubes are
inserted, the fat is then vacuumed. This same fat can be used to place it in the buttocks and give
them more volume and better shape. It can also be injected in other specified areas.
This procedure is ambulatory, it takes from 2 to 3 hours and recovery can take from 5-7 days. The
cares are minimal.
