Abdominoplasty (Dermolipectomia)


Abdominoplasty would be indicated in patients with accumulation of fatty tissue in the abdominal region, sagging skin that falls as folds as a result of being overweight, hormonal disorders, pregnancy, etc., tummy tuck or abdominoplasty involves resection a segment of skin and abdominal fat while normal muscle wall voltage is restored. It is often combined with liposuction and is performed under epidural or spinal anesthesia.


Liposuction (liposculpture)

Lipodystrophy are abnormal accumulations of fat distributed in various areas of the body, due to genetic or nutritional factors. Liposuction, liposuction or liposculpture involves the treatment of lipodystrophy (fat deposits) by removing them through subcutaneous tunnels through small incisions. The areas to be treated include: neck, arms, abdomen, waist, buttocks, hips or saddle, inner thighs and knees. Liposuction is not a method intended to lower weight but the body shape modeling. It is performed under local or regional (epidural or spinal) anesthesia depending on the location of the areas to be treated.


Lifting arms

This procedure is indicated after a big weight loss, when the skin is hanging on the inside of the arm. If the deformity is small and only excess fat, liposuction may be performed. If excess fat and skin is must, in addition to liposuction, it made resection of excess skin. The scar is located on the inside of the arm and may extend therealong according to the amount of tissue to be removed. It is done with local anesthesia and sedation.


Lifting buttocks

The thigh lift is indicated in patients with massive weight loss, usually in women and is located in the inner thigh in the upper region. When there is a large accumulation of fat and excess skin in this region combined liposuction procedures and resection of excess skin and fat are made. Incisions are placed in the root of the thigh on the inside (crotch) being hidden by the hair and fold that usually forms in that region. This can be done under local anesthesia and sedation spinal or regional, depending on the magnitude thereof.



Buttock augmentation (implants or fat grafting)

In cases of non-developed glutes, it is possible to increase the volume thereof with silicone implants or fat. Silicone implants used in patients with poor thin adipose tissue and placed through an incision in the gluteal cleft in the gluteus maximus muscle. This increases the volume thereof and its projection, although a lateral hip increase is not obtained. The fatty autograft involves removal of fatty tissue located in different regions such as the hips, inner thighs, abdomen, etc., and place it in the gluteal region, to give volume and contour. It is done with epidural or spinal anesthesia.


Genital surgery

With this type of surgery can improve the appearance of the area such as mons (liposuction and / or lifting) and the vulvar region (vulvoplastia). They can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
