Treatment

De ingreep wordt uitgevoerd onder plaatselijke verdoving. U blijft gewoon bij kennis. Met een tiental zeer dunne naalden wordt ter plaatse van het te verwijderen vet grote hoeveelheden van een vloeistof langzaam ingespoten. Enerzijds zorgt de vloeistof voor verdoving en het samentrekken van de bloedvaatjes om bloedverlies te voorkomen.

Door extra veel vloeistof te gebruiken wordt het vet verdund en kan het vet gelijkmatig worden weggehaald. Dit inspuiten duurt, afhankelijk van de grootte van het te behandelen gebied tussen de 30 minuten bij een onderkin tot anderhalf uur bij een groot gebied. Nadat deze vloeistof vervolgens gedurende minimaal een half uur ingewerkt is, wordt met het verwijderen van het vetweefsel begonnen door middel van een dunne trillende opzuignaald (microcanule). Hiertoe worden enkele heel kleine sneetjes van enkele millimeters in de huid gemaakt, waardoor de naald wordt ingevoerd. Zo wordt het vet van meerdere kanten benaderd om het vet gelijkmatig weg te kunnen halen. 

Regelmatig zal u gevraagd worden van houding (rug-, buik-, zijligging) te veranderen en wordt u gevraagd te gaan staan. Dit alles draagt bij aan het mooi vorm kunnen geven aan het behandelde gebied. De sneetjes worden niet gehecht om het vocht en wondvocht snel af te kunnen voeren en het sneetje zo mooi mogelijk te laten genezen. Wanneer de behandeling is voltooid, wordt het gebied verbonden met absorberend materiaal waarover u een elastische bandage krijgt.

Does tumescent liposuction help against cellulite?

Tumescent liposuction is not intended to cure cellulite. In many cases, cellulite appears to improve after treatment, but that is not the purpose of the treatment.

Does the skin recover after tumescent liposuction?

Fortunately, the skin is very elastic. After tumuscent liposuction, the skin usually pulls tight again over the treated area. If the doctor does not expect the skin to be elastic enough, this will be discussed with you beforehand. It is due to the specific technique of slow super tumescent local anesthesia that the attachments of the skin to the muscle are not damaged. This prevents the skin from sagging. Moreover, this attachment network is activated which causes the skin to contract even more. This is what we call lipolift. Thus, the astringent effect is highly dependent on the liposuction technique used.

I have a scar across my abdomen. Can I still have tumescent liposuction of the abdomen?

A scar on your abdomen is not a limitation for performing liposuction; we have already performed many abdominal liposculptures on women and men who had scars here. Of course, there are exceptions, but usually tumuscent liposuction is fine from an abdominal wall with scars.

Is tumuscent liposuction treatment painful?

Generally, clients experience the treatment as not painful. What you feel is the injection of the fluid. This is not painful, although some may find it unpleasant. For clients with painful fatty tissue, we inject the fluid extra slowly to make it less unpleasant. Suctioning out the fat is not painful. You will feel the vibration of the suction needle and you may feel small stings, but it does not hurt. The more relaxed you are before the procedure the easier you will experience the treatment!

Is treatment under the age of 18 possible?

At Bergman Clinics | Appearance we do not perform treatments under the age of 18, with the exception of some treatments at the skin therapists. Please contact us by phone at 088 9000 500.

Can breast reduction also be done by liposuction?

Instead of going for breast reduction surgery, breast reduction using tumescent liposuction can also be chosen. This has a number of advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:

  • Only local anesthesia is required and no cutting is done, so no scarring occurs.
  • It is a less major procedure than surgery, so you will have less post-treatment pain and much less risk of complications.

Limitation:

  • Only fat tissue can be removed, not glandular tissue. This procedure is especially suitable for women with heavy breasts, because the removal of fatty tissue can make back, neck and/or shoulder pain occur much less after the procedure than before. In all cases, a definite lifting effect occurs.

Can I pay in installments?

Payment in installments is not possible at Bergman Clinics | Appearance.

Does fat come back after tumescent liposuction?

The fat cells removed after tumuscent liposuction do not return. The result is therefore permanent. If you gain weight again after the procedure, it is not because you gain more fat cells, but because the existing fat cells expand. The weight will be distributed throughout your body and much less in the treated areas, making the contour change permanent.

Up to what age can you have tumuscent liposuction performed?

Basically, there is no age limit for tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia. If you are healthy, there is no reason why you should resign yourself to feeling dissatisfied with your body. If you are on medication or under treatment, your treating specialist is usually contacted first.

Why tumuscent liposuction for lip edema?

Tumescent liposuction with vibratory suction signaling provides tremendous improvement in lip edema. Not only is the body returned to normal proportions, but the symptoms caused by lip edema - such as tired legs, sore skin and a swollen feeling - are significantly reduced in many patients. Thus, the objective of this type of liposuction is different from when the procedure is performed for purely cosmetic reasons. While in cosmetic liposuction the cosmetic result is in the foreground, in lip edema the procedure primarily helps people regain their ability to move more easily. Treatment can be supported with lymphatic drainage before and after the procedure. Wearing support stockings daily can be a thing of the past after liposuction. And that, too, is a huge improvement for many lipedema patients!

What is tumescent liposuction?

In tumescent liposuction, the subcutaneous fat is first injected with liposuction fluid and then suctioned away in a very gentle, controlled manner. An important difference from old-fashioned classical liposuction is that now a lot of fluid is first injected into the fatty tissue, after which the fat is sucked away with thin, cannulas. In this way, there is very little blood loss and the technique ensures that the fiber network and lymphatic vessels in the subcutaneous tissue are hardly damaged.

The procedure is excellent under local anesthesia. This is less stressful on the body than a general anesthesia or epidural and allows for faster recovery. In addition, local anesthesia allows you to change your position during the procedure, giving the doctor a better view and allowing for a more beautiful end result. Also, if you wish, the procedure can be performed under anesthesia: this happens anyway when liposuction is performed in combination with, for example, a tummy tuck or an arm or leg elevator.
