Liposuction is one of the fastest and at the same time effective ways to get rid of excess body fat in the area of the forearms, armpits, and shoulders. After all, they make these parts of the body too massive, and the figure itself - disharmonious. It is usually very difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to get rid of excess body fat without surgery.
The most popular beauty procedure
Here, a procedure such as liposuction of the hands comes to the rescue. This is a relatively simple and low-traumatic operation, after which stable results are guaranteed. The main condition for success in getting rid of fat in the hands is the choice of a good specialist and a reliable clinic. Recently, this procedure is carried out using the latest technology. That is why one of the most popular aesthetic operations is liposuction of the hands. Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don, Chelyabinsk - in almost any big city you can find a clinic that offers services for this procedure.
Localization of intervention
This procedure is shown to everyone who would like to get rid of local fat deposits, as well as wrinkles. As a rule, they resort to it at a fairly mature age - from 40 to 55 years, however, there are patients of other age groups. Hand liposuction may include the following operations:
- Removing fat from the shoulders. This zone, as a rule, is considered the most problematic. Indeed, adipose tissue accumulates in it with the greatest speed, and sagging skin also occurs very quickly. With reduced elasticity, experts often recommend conducting another operation - brachioplasty. Removal of fat cells during liposuction of the hands is carried out on the upper or rear surface of the shoulder.
- Removal of excess deposits in the forearm. Here, surgery is considered the least traumatic, and fat is most easily removed.
- Armpit liposuction. In addition to working on the removal of adipose tissue, there is also often a simultaneous decrease in the number of sweat glands, which eliminates excessive sweating.
Contraindications
However, before performing liposuction of the hands, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination and seek the advice of a qualified specialist. At the initial stage, the surgeon's task is to identify all possible contraindications, as well as the individual characteristics of those who want to get rid of excess fat. Groups of persons suffering from the following pathologies are not allowed for surgery:
- Violations of blood formation processes.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Infectious diseases.
- Pathology of the endocrine system.
Preparation
What are the features of the preparatory period before liposuction? At least 3 weeks are required to prepare for the procedure in the absence of contraindications. During this period of time, the patient should refuse to take anticoagulants. This will help restore normal blood coagulation and will be the prevention of possible bleeding. If the patient has allergic reactions to any drugs, their list must be provided to the surgeon.
At least 2 weeks before liposuction, you need to do to strengthen the body's immune system. First, you need to take special multivitamin complexes, as well as iron; secondly, the amount of salt entering the body should be reduced.
Seven days before the start of the operation, you can’t visit the bathhouse, pool, gym. During this period, it is recommended to take vitamin K - it allows you to normalize blood coagulation. All physical activity is prohibited three days before liposuction. Hygienic procedures should be carried out strictly without the use of lotions, perfumes, creams or antiperspirants. Eating and drinking is prohibited 8 hours before surgery.
What is the operation
In the case when the patient would like to perform only an operation to remove fat on his hands, local anesthesia is used. If brachioplasty is also prescribed, then general anesthesia is used.
The surgeon makes incisions in the back of the elbow, as well as in the area of the bend of the arm. As a rule, the duration of the procedure is a maximum of 30 minutes. First, adipose tissue is separated using special drugs or hardware methods. In the forearm, special care is required from the surgeon, since it is here that the blood vessels are located especially close.
During the recovery period, swelling may occur. Also, hands after liposuction can hurt in those places where the intervention was performed. To mitigate these symptoms, it is recommended to use anesthetics. You also need to wear special compression underwear.
Laser liposuction
According to many doctors, the fastest, safest and most effective way to get rid of body fat is laser liposuction of the hands. Its meaning is that a special apparatus is introduced through an incision in the area of the operation, which destroys the accumulated body fat with a laser. The excess is discharged through cannulas - tubes, which are connected to a special pump.
The main advantages of laser liposuction are that after it there is practically no scar left - only small traces will be noticeable in those places where the punctures were made. But they also pass over time. Also an undoubted plus is toned skin after surgery, since the laser helps to increase the production of collagen fibers. This has a positive effect on the elasticity of the skin. Another advantage of laser removal of body fat, which is often noted by patients, is a relatively quick period of rehabilitation of the body. The very next day after the procedure, if the doctor allows it, you can go home. If you wear an elastic bandage, then it is possible to start work in a day.
Tumecent Liposuction
In the global medical community, this procedure is also considered safe. In most developed countries, this type of liposuction is very popular. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that before pumping out fat deposits, they are destroyed using a special drug (Klein's solution). After 20 minutes, this substance significantly dilutes the fatty tissue. During the operation of this type, the surgeon has the opportunity to pump out more fat than during other types of liposuction.
Reviews about the procedure
Reviews about liposuction of hands in patients are very different. Some say that thanks to this operation they were again able to wear clothes several sizes smaller, and are very pleased with the results. Others complain that body fat returns very quickly if the diet prescribed by the doctor is not followed. Still others claim that the operation did not give them any result. One conclusion can be drawn from this: the effectiveness of the procedure largely depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Of course, before and after liposuction of the hands, their appearance cannot be compared - without fat deposits, the picture is much more aesthetic. However, to achieve a good result, you need to follow all the doctor’s instructions both before and after the intervention.
Recovery Period Features
The success of the procedure to a large extent depends both on the level of qualification of the doctor, and on the behavior of the patient himself during the rehabilitation period. Firstly, the patient should be in the hospital for 1-3 days. Also one of the mandatory requirements is the wearing of special compression hoses. They cover the area of the arms from the forearm to the elbow joint. This measure helps prevent sagging skin, and also accelerates the recovery period. In addition, the patient must adhere to the following recommendations:
- You can not drive a car during the first 2 weeks after the procedure.
- Also, 2 weeks you can not do any physical activity.
- Sport is contraindicated for a month.
- 4 weeks you can not visit the baths, swimming pools, as well as tanning salons.
- The patient is obliged to wear compression underwear constantly, even at night, during such a period of time that will be indicated by the doctor.
After 3-5 weeks, the results of liposuction of the hands can be observed (photo is attached in this article). The term depends on the complexity of the operation. Unpleasant sensations, such as swelling, pain, bruising, disappear after 7-14 days.
