12 reasons to choose plastic surgery at ForMe Clinic

Description of operation

Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia and takes from one to several hours (this depends on the type and extent of the intervention).

The procedure consists of the following steps:

Preparing the surgical area.
Markings are applied to the skin to determine the contours of future correction. Then treatment with antiseptics is carried out.
Anesthesia.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia for complete pain relief and comfort throughout the entire process.
Making small cuts.
3-5 mm long in places where fat deposits are planned to be removed.
Insertion of the cannula.
A thin cannula is inserted through the incisions and connected to a vacuum device, which suctions out the fat. There are various methods to destroy fat cells, for example, a laser or ultrasound machine can be used. But at the ForMe clinic we prefer the vibration method as the safest and most effective.
Completing the operation.
After removing the fat cells, the surgeon places cosmetic stitches and covers them with a sterile bandage. Immediately in the operating room, the patient puts on special compression garments. It helps to improve the contraction of the skin in the intervention area. Cosmetic stitches and a special patch are applied. This minimizes marks and speeds up healing.

Rehabilitation

After surgery, it is very important to follow your surgeon's recommendations. Recovery will be faster, and the risk of complications will be minimized.

The recommendations are not complicated:

  • You will need to wear compression garments for up to 1.5 months after surgery, which will reduce swelling and help shape the final contour of your figure.

  • In the first week after liposuction, you should limit sports and serious physical activity, but light walks are welcome.

  • Taking prescribed medications. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics and analgesics to prevent infections and reduce pain.

  • Control examinations with a surgeon. Clinic visits after liposuction are necessary to assess how healing is progressing and adjust recovery recommendations.

  • Gradual return to the usual rhythm of life. After 2-4 weeks, you can gradually return to normal activities, including sports and work.

The final result of liposuction can usually be assessed after a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about liposuction
Is it possible to get rid of cellulite with liposuction?

The so-called “orange peel” is a cosmetic feature of the appearance of the skin, which is associated with changes in the structure of subcutaneous fat. Cellulite is a physiological phenomenon that is not always accompanied by excess adipose tissue. Liposuction cannot affect the condition of the skin. To combat cellulite, additional hardware techniques are used: mesotherapy, myostimulation, and special massage.

Yes, definitely. Liposuction is a full-fledged operation that requires restoration of the body. The patient is unable to work for at least a week after the procedure. If professional activity is associated with physical activity, then the break from work should last at least a month.

    Джимиев Мулдар Русланович – это находка! Если вы хотите безупречный живот, то он сделает все идеально. Я решилась на абдоминопластику с диастазом (обвисшая кожа после родов). Доктор ушил диастаз, устранил лишнюю кожу и перенёс пупок. Всё это "бесшовным" методом. Пупки у него, конечно, лучшие! А сам доктор душевный и внимательный!
