Would you like to slim down your hips to accentuate your waist and create a more balanced silhouette? Have diets and exercise failed to help you lose weight the way youâd hoped?
Liposuction of the hips is an effective and quick solution for permanently removing excess fat from the hips.
What is hip liposuction?
Hip liposuction, also known as waist liposuction, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that uses suction to remove excess fat cells from the flanks and love handles. It permanently eliminates unsightly bulges above the hips in both men and women.
To achieve the most natural-looking body contour possible, your surgeon will recommend liposuction of the thighs and/or the "saddlebags" if necessary.
What liposuction technique is used for the hips?
To help his patients lose weight around their hips, Dr. Delobaux uses the VASER HD liposuction technique combined with RENUVION skin tightening technology.
VASER HD liposuction isan innovative technique that liquefies fat using ultrasound. This makes it easier to remove fat cells, makes the procedure less painful, and helps minimize bruising and unevenness. The result is also more aesthetically pleasing, as the fat is removed more evenly.
RENUVIONtechnology uses plasma energy and radiofrequency to tighten the skin. Thanks to this minimally invasive skin tightening technique, your skin will be taut and conform to your bodyâs new contours as soon as you leave the clinic.
What are the steps to take before your hip liposuction?
Two preoperative consultations are required before the procedure: one with the plastic surgeon and the other with the anesthesiologist.
Before the procedure, your plastic surgeon will examine your hips and assess the condition of your skin. He or she will also conduct a health evaluation to ensure that you are a good candidate for hip liposuction. Finally, this initial consultation will give you the opportunity to discuss your expectations and needs, as well as ask any questions you may have.
What is the procedure for your hip liposuction?
Conventional liposuction of the hips is performed under general anesthesia (depending on the volume of fat removed and the areas involved) or under local anesthesia (when the volume of fat removed is minimal).
It lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the amount of fat to be removed, and proceeds as follows:
- The surgeon marks the areas to be suctioned using a surgical marker.
- The patient is placed under anesthesia.
- The surgeon injects a solution that makes it easier to remove fat and minimizes pain and bleeding.
- He then uses the VASER HD technique, which involves applying low-intensity ultrasound to liquefy localized fat in the hips.
- The surgeon makes very fine incisions (2 to 4 mm) along the natural creases of the waist, through which he inserts microcannulas. Several incisions are necessary to create crisscrossed patterns, ensuring a uniform result.
- He then proceeds to suction out the fat cells using slow, gentle back-and-forth movements.
- Finally, he closes the incisions with absorbable sutures, covers them with a bandage, and then applies a compression garment.
What are the post-liposuction effects on the hips?
The length of the hospital stay depends on two factors: the type of anesthesia and the amount of fat removed. Patients who have undergone liposuction of the hips typically stay in the clinic for half a day on average.
You will wear an abdominal compression garment (panty) as soon as you leave the operating room. You must wear it at all times for 45 to 60 days. This compression garment is designed to minimize swelling and bruising following the procedure. It also helps the skin readjust to your bodyâs new contours as quickly as possible.
