VASER HD Liposuction of the Legs

Leg liposuction is acosmetic surgery proceduredesigned to remove unsightly excess fat that obscures the contours of the ankles and calves, giving the legs the typical “pole-like” appearance.
The ultrasound waves generated by this technology will have a significant effect on tightening your skin and will help restore the contours of your legs by removing the fat surrounding your body's natural contours.
What are the goals of liposuction on the legs, thighs, knees, and ankles?
Through incision sites often located in the natural folds of the skin, fat is removed using very fine cannulas. The procedure serves multiple purposes. Liposuction of the legs effectively and permanently reduces excess fat on the legs. Unsightly excess fat corrected through liposuction of the knees, thighs, and ankles yields noticeable results after 6 to 8 weeks. The inner thigh and the knee are often treated simultaneously to achieve a more slender appearance of the leg.VASER technology allows you to sculpt your figure by removing areas of excess fat and restoring a shapely contour to your legs.Â
It will also provide an effective treatment for lipedema.
Why Consider Liposuction on the Legs?

Do you have localized fat deposits on your calves and/or ankles? Have the natural, tapered contours of your calves disappeared, and are you unable to restore them despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise? Do you have lipedema—the condition that causes “pole-like” legs—and are you looking for an effective, long-lasting solution? Do you find that your knees are the site of unsightly excess fat? Dr. Delobaux,a cosmetic surgeonspecializing in leg liposuction in Bordeaux, will use VASER HD technology to help you sculpt your figure, remove areas of excess fat, and restore a shapely contour to your legs.
Cosmetic surgery on the legs can also effectively treat lipedema.
The Procedure for Liposuction of the Legs
On the day of the procedure, the surgeon will make precise markings on the areas to be treated, giving you an opportunity to ask any final questions you may have about the procedure.
The medical team (anesthesiologist) and paramedical staff will then take care of you and accompany you to the operating room.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
After anesthesia, small incisions measuring a few millimeters are made to begin injecting a saline solution containing epinephrine and a local anesthetic to reduce bleeding and make you more comfortable when you wake up.
The surgeon then guides the ultrasound probe under the skin into the deep and superficial fat layers to liquefy the fat, making it easier to remove and allowing your skin to be tightened. The fat is then suctioned out using a standard cannula in a gentle, non-traumatic manner, since it has already been liquefied.
This results in a significant reduction in swelling, bruising, and bleeding compared to traditional liposuction.
Contraindication
It is recommended that patients be in satisfactory health before considering liposuction of the knees, ankles, or thighs. This applies to any surgical procedure requiring anesthesia. If the patient has fat that is too hard and/or too deep, they may be referred for liposculpture, an advanced form of liposuction or lipoaspiration.
Pain
Aside from some tenderness and a particularly pronounced feeling of tightness in the calves, leg liposuction may cause very mild pain. A simple pain reliever may then be prescribed.
Postoperative Care
When you return home, you should rest completely and avoid any exertion; it is recommended that you take 7 to 15 days off work.
You should resume physical activity after 4 to 6 weeks and avoid smoking and sun exposure.
You will see your surgeon several times for follow-up visits.
You will need to wear a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure.
The pain may last a few days, but you will have all the prescriptions you need to ensure your comfort.
Expected Results
The results are visible as early as the day after the procedure. It will take between 1 and 3 months for the swelling to subside completely before you can appreciate the final result, which gives the knees and legs a more refined appearance—no longer blending seamlessly with the thighs—and creates a slender ankle, making it easier to wear certain clothes…
