Love handles liposuction in Dr. Xênia Portella — plastic surgery
About the clinic
Love handles liposuction at the clinic of Dr. Xênia Portella in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, targets stubborn fat deposits around the waist. This procedure is designed for adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm skin. Dr. Xênia Portella is a Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has treated over 10,000 surgical patients.
Liposuction Methods for Love Handles
The clinic provides several ways to remove fat from the waist and back. Each method helps shape the body based on the patient's specific needs:
- Vibrolipo: This uses a vibrating cannula to remove fat with less physical trauma to the tissue.
- Laser-assisted liposuction (Lipolaser): This method helps with skin retraction, which is useful for tightening the waist area.
- Conventional liposuction: This uses a wet infiltration technique to prepare the fat for removal.
Safety and Medical Standards
Patient safety is the top priority during every surgery. The clinic follows strict limits set by the Federal Council of Medicine. The volume of fat removed does not exceed 7% of the patient's body weight. Additionally, the procedure covers no more than 40% of the body surface at once. These rules help lower the risk of complications during recovery.
Recovery and Results
Patients must wear a compression garment for about 30 days after the surgery. The medical team provides support throughout the entire healing process to help with comfort. Lymphatic drainage sessions are recommended to reduce swelling and improve the final look. While initial changes appear sooner, the final results are usually visible after six months.
Consultation Process
Every treatment begins with an individual evaluation. Dr. Xênia Portella examines the patient's anatomy and overall health status. This helps determine which technique will work best for the waist and back areas. Consultations are available in Belo Horizonte and also in Cascais, Portugal. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about the procedure.
