Microlipo: Immediate and Safe Solution for Localized Fat

This procedure is essentially a form of liposuction, indicated for milder cases of localized fat.

Microlipo: Mini Liposuction

We all have localized fat in certain areas of our bodies that persist and do not recede, despite our efforts. The areas may be different for each of us, but the solution for addressing them is common. Discover Microlipo, a minimally invasive technique, with a short recovery time, and no scars!

What is Microlipo? It is a form of liposuction and is indicated for mild cases of localized fat. Some of the differences between Microlipo and liposuction are that it is NOT performed under general anesthesia or sedation ; only local anesthesia is sufficient, and the cannulas used for fat removal are small in size. Furthermore, the recovery time is significantly reduced . Microlipo is a less invasive method for removing localized fat and sculpting (or reshaping) certain areas of the body. "Microlipo is the ideal alternative to other lipolysis treatments that require repetitions and may not have a predictable outcome"

Which areas can Microlipo be applied to? Face The mini liposuction technique is successfully used in various areas of the lower third of the face, primarily to address fat accumulation under the chin and along the jawline, which causes the bothersome double chin . By removing excess fat from this area, we create a more sculpted and youthful face with minimal intervention. Knees Many people have localized fat around (or above) their knees that does not subside and is aesthetically undesirable. Love handles - thighs - buttocks In some people, especially women, there is fat deposition in the thighs and buttocks, or generally in the legs. Often, the increased number of fat cells in these areas can worsen the appearance of cellulite, which is so common that it affects at least 9 out of 10 women. Tip: Treat cellulite with the right body treatment ! Arms Localized fat on the arms is a concern for people mainly over 40, and especially in women, it can significantly affect their self-confidence, as it can limit their clothing choices, and may also cause cellulite in the area. Abdomen Perhaps the most common area for accumulated localized fat, in both men and women. Even people who exercise regularly may have belly fat. It is worth noting here that microlipo is ideal for small fat deposits in the abdominal area. Waist Localized fat around the waist, also known as " love handles ," appears in both sexes, and in recent years, it is a common phenomenon, as the fashion of low-rise pants constantly pressures the waist, causing fat cells not to disperse in the waist area, but to accumulate directly above the pant line. Chest Microlipo can be the ideal solution for men with gynecomastia , as well as for women who want to reduce breast volume.

How is microlipo performed? The procedure is performed with local anesthesia in the area of interest, so it is relatively painless. The local anesthetic solution used has a triple action, causing anesthetic effects, reducing swelling, and minimizing the possibility of bruising in the area. Subsequently, a small incision is made to insert a small cannula to remove the fat. The incision created does not require stitches! Finally, the area where the procedure was applied must be bandaged to prevent swelling. Microlipo can be applied to more than one area per visit; however, if there are too many areas, a second procedure may be necessary.

After the procedure For the next seven days , intense physical exercise should be avoided, and any potential pain can be fully managed with common painkillers. For approximately one week after the procedure, there may be bruising at the application site and a small amount of fluid under the skin. After two weeks, the doctor should assess the condition and check the healing of the incision.

How long will I need to take time off from work? Many people are able to return to work even two days after the procedure, however some prefer to take more days off.

Fat Transfer The fat removed is an entirely natural material, fully compatible with our body. It can be placed in many areas of the face as a substitute for fillers , to improve volume loss that occurs with age or to correct possible asymmetry! Another property of the fat we collect with microlipo is that it is rich in stem cells , resulting in tissue regeneration in the areas where it is placed. This is why microlipo is often combined with fat transfer of the removed fat to the face or neck. How many times have we wished there was a way to get rid of unwanted localized fat without surgery? Microlipo is the best option for an immediate solution to localized fat, with an almost painless procedure and minimal recovery time compared to other invasive methods! Learn more: Liposuction
