Consultation Process
Preparation Steps and Necessary Examinations
Consultations allow for the analysis of body shape, skin quality, and fat distribution. Pre-operative examinations may be requested depending on the context. Technical options are explained, along with their limitations and expected benefits. A detailed quote is provided, along with information on the aftercare and the recovery pace.
Technical Choices and Information on Aftercare
The choice may combine thigh liposuction, thigh lift, buttock lift, or buttock fat grafting. Potential scars, their location, and their evolution are specified. Pre-operative instructions are detailed to optimize safety.
The Procedure in Practice
Anesthesia, Duration, Hospitalization
The procedure is performed under anesthesia adapted to the planned procedure. The operating time varies depending on the number of areas treated and the chosen technique. Hospitalization may be considered depending on the extent of the procedure. The technical principles are based on respecting tissues and aiming for a harmonious result.
Main Technical Principles
Liposuction removes targeted volumes. The lift tightens sagging skin after excess skin removal. Fat grafting uses your purified fat to restore volume. Techniques can be combined if necessary.
Post-operative Care
Pain, Care, Return to Activities
Tension sensations or moderate pain may occur and are managed with appropriate treatments. Local care and wearing a compression garment are often recommended. The return to activities is gradual, depending on the progress and the instructions received.
Post-operative Follow-up
Regular medical follow-up allows for the assessment of healing and volume evolution. Recommendations aim to ensure recovery and optimize the result.
