Frequently Asked Questions |
|
| FAQ : Surgical Procedure |
|
| What are the risks and complications? |
| Liposuction is a relatively safe and effective surgical procedure. However, as with any surgery, complications may occur, such as: infection, blood clots, skin loss and even death. Some variations from the ideal result may also occur, including waviness in the skin surface; temporary pain, swelling or bruising; and a permanent "baggy" look which is caused if the skin fails to contract to fit its new contour. When the latter condition occurs, the excess skin may need to be surgically removed. | |
|
| Can liposuction tighten up a loose neck? |
| If there is excess fat in the area under the chin and the skin is taut, liposuction alone can produce a more sculpted, angular, and youthful jaw line. If, however, the skin of the neck is loose, hanging, or crepey, even if there is excess fat, liposuction alone will not produce the desired result. Patients with loose skin usually require a face and neck lift in addition to or instead of liposuction. In general, most patients who benefit from liposuction of the neck are under 40. Most patients over 40 will require some surgical skin tightening. |
| |
| What do the points mean? |
| The point that we mention in our website means the area where you perfer to have liposuction, those are; waistline (1 point), abdomen (1 point), outer thighs (1 point), inner thighs (1 point) ,buttocks (1 point), knees (1 point), ankles (1 point), neckline (1 point). |
|
|
| FAQ : Result |
|
| How long will the results last? |
| The results of liposuction will be permanent, as long as you maintain your postoperative weight. Even if you gain a few extra pounds, you may find that the weight is distributed more evenly instead of accumulating in the areas that were problematic for you in the past. |
