When liposculpture of the legs?

Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is a good solution to remove stubborn fat deposits on the legs. Mainly women suffer more from fat storage on the upper legs, or thighs. There are many muscles in our legs that you can train to get firmer and slimmer legs, but sometimes the fat deposits don’t want to go away. Consider areas such as fat on the outside of your thigh, just near your buttocks. Instead of an hourglass figure, it creates a silhouette with multiple bulges.

A lot of fat is also stored on the inside of our legs, above the knees. If you wear a skirt, you soon find that your upper legs rub against each other.

You can consider liposuction of the thighs, hips, knee and calves when all kinds of things have already been done to get rid of the fat. Workout, eat healthy, and have a stable weight.

And the MAJOR thing is. You can use your own body fat to rejuvenate.

Increasingly, people are choosing to use body’s own fat tissue for volume loss in the breasts or face, for example. Through so-called lipofilling, we reinsert removed fat cells from abdomen, legs or hips, for example, into the breasts to increase their volume. Own fat is also regularly used to fill wrinkles or volume loss in the face. With this we achieve beautiful and, above all, natural results.

The consultation from A to Z

You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your liposuction treatment. Write down your needs and questions in advance so you can ask them at the interview. For example, you are thinking about liposuction of the thighs and calves. Or just the localized fat at your hips. During the consultation, you’ll speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in liposculpture and fat removal. From general information about the before and after care, to the details such as where the incisions are made.

We are also taking the photos for your medical records today. After the consultation, you will be up to date on everything about your future treatment: from our honest advice on expected results, risks, recovery and costs. We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum.

An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.

The operation

We carefully mark out where the fat will be removed and where the incisions will be made. The fat cells are aspirated through a fine suction needle that makes small zigzag movements under the skin. The treatment usually takes place under general anesthesia and the lasts from 1 to 3 hours (depending on the zones).

The incisions are so small that no noticeable scars remain. They are taped with band-aids or very fine sutures. If all goes well, you can go home immediately after the check-up. You are not allowed to drive yourself but have someone take you home.

Aftercare and recovery

For the first few days, the treated areas are sensitive and swollen. Bruising may also (have) occurred. The swelling usually disappears within four weeks. We recommend drinking plenty/much and keeping moving. You should also use elastic pants (called pressure suits) for 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment to prevent swelling. Take about 2 weeks off from work and discuss at the follow-up checkup when you can return to work. You won’t see the results for good after 3 to 6 months; so you need some patience.

MY MOOI KLINIEK

Always well informed

At MOOI Clinic we think it is important that you have easy and safe access to information about your treatment. We would like to keep you informed via your own MOOI account. This way you are always well prepared. You will only receive messages that are relevant to you, before, during and after the treatment.

Good to know

It is important to maintain your weight after liposuction treatment. If you gain weight again, the fat can settle back in the old familiar places. With too little exercise and unhealthy eating, new fat cells may develop around your thighs or hips, or the remaining fat cells may grow larger and take in more oil. Your diet should already be adjusted before the liposuction treatment of your legs so that you remain stable in terms of weight.

Risks

As with any procedure, there is a small chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing with liposuction. Usually this is not serious and is easily remedied.

Minor blemishes cannot always be avoided; severe blemishes can sometimes be corrected. This may give improvement.

We only treat people with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or less.

An important condition is that the skin is sufficiently elastic. Because liposuction does not tighten the skin.

If your expectations are realistic, a satisfactory or even very satisfactory result will occur in most cases. If your expectations are too optimistic, disappointment may result. The plastic surgeon will discuss with you the maximum possible result.

QUIT SMOKING

We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.
