Fat Suction and Body Contouring
What Is 4D Vaser Liposuction?
It is a technique that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat in a specific area of the body. This technique is highly safe, requires minimal time for the procedure, provides immediate results, involves a shorter recovery period compared to other liposuction techniques, and allows for precise fat removal.
Steps of Buttocks Liposuction with Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharifa:
- The doctor will administer either local or general anesthesia depending on the liposuction technique and location, under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
- Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharifa will make a surgical incision around the targeted fat area in the buttocks.
- He will use the Vaser device to liquefy and remove the fat until the desired shape is achieved.
- A saline solution mixed with a local anesthetic and adrenaline will be injected into the treated area to facilitate fat removal from the body.
Steps of Abdominal and Side Fat Liposuction with Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharifa:
Repeated pregnancies and continuous weight fluctuations are the main causes of significant abdominal fat accumulation. The goal of abdominal liposuction is to eliminate fat stored between skin layers and restore the natural shape of the abdomen as much as possible. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharifa follows these steps:
- The doctor starts with anesthesia under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
- He makes small surgical incisions around the fat area in the abdomen, typically two small openings in the pubic region.
- He then uses the Vaser device to liquefy and remove fat until the desired shape is achieved.
- A saline solution with a local anesthetic and adrenaline is injected into the treated area to facilitate fat removal. If the procedure includes body contouring, an additional small incision is made at the lower abdomen to access and strengthen abdominal muscles while removing excess skin.
- The doctor then carefully sutures the skin and muscle layers using special cosmetic stitches that fade over time.
- A drainage tube is placed in the surgical area with minimal bandages to ensure proper fluid and fat discharge.
What Happens After Liposuction and Body Contouring?
After the procedure, Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharifa may require you to stay in the hospital for about two hours, or overnight depending on your condition.
You will be encouraged to get out of bed and walk while keeping the treated area as straight as possible. You will also need to wear a special compression garment for at least two weeks to minimize swelling and achieve optimal results.
What Is the Difference Between Liposuction and Body Contouring?
Liposuction and body contouring both aim to improve body appearance and boost self-confidence. Liposuction primarily focuses on removing excess fat that is difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise, while body contouring involves reshaping the body for a more sculpted look.
