Liposuction
Lipo is a reshaping tool, where, like a sculptor redefining a curve, the surgeon can modify the shape of the body using this exceptional technique. Recent innovations allow the tightening of the skin (with Acculift or J Plasma), the hi-definition of muscular shape (with Vaser lipo) or the minimally traumatic water jet lipo (with Body-Jet). The procedure has it's limitations and maximal volume of aspiration is generally less than 6000ml, weight loss not significant immediately after the procedure ( due to the swelling of the tissues). Skin quality, elasticity and/or it's excess will also be a determinant factor in Dr Blaga's decision to perform a liposuction alone or together with skin excision. Best example is a tummy tuck where the liposuction of the whole waist line is followed by a tightening of the abdominal muscles and skin; the aspirated fat can be transferred to an area which needs volume enhancement.
