Procedure
The basic procedure involves a few steps:
•    Local or IV sedation will be used, depending on the type and number of procedures undergone
•    A few tiny incisions are made near the area to be treated
•    A small, tube-like instrument called a cannula is inserted through the incisions in order to reach the fat deposits
•    The cannula then breaks up and vacuums away unwanted fat
•    The procedure is finished with the incisions usually being sutured and allowed to heal
As with any cosmetic surgery, you should prepare for liposuction carefully and allow yourself plenty of recovery time.
There are several different types of liposuction as well; each specialized for a particular type of desired result, and each exhibiting their own individual benefits and risks.
Here are some of the areas that respond well to the liposuction:
•    Thighs
•    Abdomen
•    Buttocks
•    Flanks
•    Hips
•    Upper Arms
•    Chin
•    Jowls
•    Neck

Most people wonder if liposuction will be right for them. If you are within a relatively normal weight range, have healthy, elastic skin, and have specific areas you want to target, then you may be a candidate for liposuction. The procedure is also appropriate for women who are considering breast reduction, and for men who suffer from gynecomastia, or male breast development.
Benefits
From improved health to a better appearance, liposuction isn't one of the most popular cosmetic surgery   procedures  for  nothing.  The   most important   benefit   comes   from   within, with the satisfaction and confidence of feeling good about your body whether it's in a bathing suit or a slimming outfit. That sort of spark within a person's demeanor can completely alter the way they interact with people and view themselves.
Risks
There are some risks involved with liposuction, just like any serious medical procedure. Although they are rare, you should talk to your doctor about them when weighing whether or not liposuction is the right option for you. Risks can include:
•    Infection
•    Blood clots
•    Friction burns
•    Damage to internal organs from the cannula
These risks can be minimized by choosing the proper surgeon and choosing the correct type for the results wanted.
Results
Although all of the results won't be fully evident until a few months post-operation, there will be dramatic results immediately afterwards. Up to ten pounds of fat can be removed during the surgery, which can provide a noticeable difference if the treated areas have been chosen wisely by both surgeon and patient. Swelling and bruising will delay the full desired results, until the body has recovered and gotten used to the new loss of fat, taking up to six months before a patient may feel fully back to normal.

It is very significant and moving for me to have the opportunity to write on this blog about the importance of the Nose, both in the aesthetic and functional aspect.

For more than two decades, I have specialized in this procedure that gives me the satisfaction and professional recognition from my own patients, in Mexico and Worldwide; although, my personal accomplishments are even greater due to the simple fact of helping patients achieve more confidence, higher self-esteem and enhancing their beauty.

Rhinoplasty is the most studied procedure; in my opinion a surgeon who speaks about this type of surgery should perfectly know the anatomy of the nose because it is a delicate procedure that involves minor surgical corrections to achieve a natural looking nose.

Being an Otolaryngology specialist allows you to understand that the morphology of the nose is variable depending on the physical features of each culture.

Removing or repositioning tissues from an anatomical and vital area for the correct functioning of the human body, like the nose, requires total knowledge and preparation from the specialist.

The nose has very important functions for the human body, such as:

1. Humidify the air that goes into our lungs; the nose is capable of warming and humidifying the air we breathe to the specific conditions the body requires
2. It acts as an air cleanser or filter during the passage from the nose to the lungs
3. It is the source for sexual attraction is located in the nose, a small organ located in the nasal cavity that responds to the substances normally know as pheromones, which can stimulated sexual attraction
4. Anatomical differences are evident between men and women

The aesthetic appearance of the nose is essential; in women it should be small and delicate compared to men, because in men the nose should express a strong and aggressive self-image in proportion to the facial features. The main purpose of every surgeon is to obtain as a result a nose that provides facial harmony as well as a natural look.

Before undergoing a nose surgery, I would recommend that you research about it.  You should know who is the procedure performed, which are the surgical techniques, if the surgeon has experience with this type of procedure, what is the surgeon’s specialty and background. The nose is very important for a patient’s self image, therefore I strongly recommend choosing wisely. It is better to wait and pay a little more to have a specialist surgeon perform the procedure.

You can trust us, because more than 25 years of experience and thousands of nose surgeries allow Clinica de Cirugia Cosmetica to offer the most satisfying results.
