Plastic Surgery In Mexico
Thanks to progress in liposuction, it is now possible to treat the thighs as a whole in Mexico. We then speak of circular liposuction of the thighs. In the 80s, the areas that could be vacuumed were limited to the saddlebags, the inner side of the thighs, or the inner side of the knees.
In its tumescent variant, liposuction of the thighs now also makes it possible to treat lipoedema very effectively, a disease that was previously unrecognized but whose diagnosis is made more and more often.
Thigh Liposuction in Mexico
In Mexico, the intervention makes it possible to introduce very fine cannulas under the skin through tiny incisions of less than 3 mm in length. These cannulas are used to selectively suck fat and slim the thighs.
Liposuction of the thighs in Mexico thus makes it possible to refine the silhouette and to get rid of an unsightly surplus of fat. It is also an intervention whose risks are almost zero and remains a reference in the treatment of fat.
The circular treatment of the thighs targets different areas:
the inner thighs,
the anterior and posterior sides of the thighs,
saddlebags.
Indications: why and when to do thigh liposuction in Mexico?
Even with a normal build, fat accumulation in the hips and thighs is still common, especially in women in Mexico. This is the famous pear morphology. Fat storage in the lower part of the body is influenced by genetic and morphological predispositions.
Estrogen hormone production may also be involved. A diet that is too rich and slowing the metabolism also contributes to fat storage in the thighs. This localized fat is often difficult to eliminate and refractory to diet or sport. Liposuction of the thighs then makes it possible to remove the excess fat.
Thigh liposuction is not effective on cellulite. In Mexico, Adipose cellulite characterized by superficial fatty deposits is most visible on the thighs in the form of orange peel skin.
For an optimal result and to avoid the skin which warps after the liposuction, the intervention is carried out on sufficiently thick and elastic skin. This is to promote the natural retraction of the skin after fat removal.
There are a few contraindications to thigh liposuction. It is not recommended in the case of:
serious uncontrolled disease (diabetes, immunodeficient disease, etc.),
pregnancy (it is advisable to wait 6-9 months after childbirth to undergo such an operation).
The recent progress made in liposuction makes it possible to refine the thighs as a whole with compelling results. We can finally symmetrize the upper and lower body
How is thigh liposuction performed in Mexico?
Before thigh liposuction surgery in Mexico
The initial consultation in Mexico will determine if thigh liposuction can significantly slim the patient's thighs. For this, the precise thickness of fat under the skin is assessed. The state of laxity of the skin is also an important element to take into account.
If you are eligible to do plastic surgery in Mexico, you receive an information sheet on the intervention and an estimate which will allow you to make your decision with full knowledge of the facts.
The preliminary consultations also make it possible to fully understand the patient's problem. An incompressible period of 15 days must then be respected before any intervention. A blood test and an appointment with the anesthesiologist are also to be planned.
During thigh liposuction surgery in Mexico
General anesthesia or epidural anesthesia in Mexico is usually performed. Liposuction of the thighs requires patience and a great regularity of work for the use of long and fine cannulas. 4 to 5 mm cannulas are used to aspirate deep fat and 3 mm cannulas for cellulite.
The fat is sucked out through 2 to 3 mm micro-incisions. The areas treated depend on the needs of the patient. Once the thigh is reshaped and the correct amount of fat removed, a stitch is made. This intervention leaves no traces.
Depending on the case, liposuction can be accompanied by a thigh lift for sagging skin or lipofilling to increase the volume of the buttocks.
After thigh liposuction surgery in Mexico
A 24-hour hospitalization is most often required in Mexico. Wearing a compression garment or lipopanty is necessary for one month following the liposuction. The goal is to reduce pain and allow the skin to retract under good conditions.
During the first days, the pain is comparable to very strong aches. They will be perfectly calmed by painkillers.
Recovery time will depend on the amount of fat removed. In general, a work stoppage of at least one week is prescribed. The resumption of sport is possible after one month. The suture threads are absorbable and will be eliminated after a few weeks .
Control visits in Mexico during the year are to be planned for the general follow-up and the assessment of the final result.
Thigh liposuction results in Mexico
After the operation, 70% of the results are acquired in Mexico. The remaining 30% will be over the next 6 to 9 months. Indeed, the skin takes 3 to 6 months to perfectly match the shape of the thighs. The result is then final.
The photos of the silhouette before and after the intervention will be compared to analyze the quality of the result obtained. This analysis of the result is a fundamental element because it will allow you to appreciate the results obtained and will encourage you thereafter to adopt better hygiene of life.
In terms of thigh liposuction, the perimeter of the thighs can also be measured before and after the procedure to get an idea of the effectiveness of the operation.
