Axillary fold liposuction

Axillary fold liposuction

Body fat is a cause of self-doubt and discomfort. In addition, they entail malfunctions in the functioning of various organs and systems. For example, excess fat in the armpit area very often causes hyperhidrosis. This is a disease that is manifested by increased sweating. In this case, plastic surgery will be the right decision.

This is an operation that allows you to correct the armpits and remove excess fat deposits. The peculiarity of this method is the elimination of fat folds, that is, an evident aesthetic defect. In addition, the problem of increased sweating is solved.

The popularity of liposuction is due to the fact that the removal of fat deposits is the most effective way to shape the figure. An important advantage of axillary fold liposuction is that fat cells cannot be restored.

The original goal of liposuction was to remove excess fat from various areas of the body. However, in the process of surgical intervention, plastic surgeons concluded that in addition to fat cells, sweat glands concentrated in the subcutaneous fat layer are also removed.

Thanks to this technique, it is possible not only to solve the problem of armpit hyperhidrosis, but also to prevent its recurrence.

Indications for liposuction of axillary fold areas

Patients resort to this surgical intervention in the presence of the following problems:

• Unattractive folds of fat in the upper arms and forearm.
• Heavy sweating in the armpits.
• Pigmented and atonic skin in the armpit bending area.

Features of liposuction of the axillary fold area

Before surgery, you should definitely go through the preparatory stage – a consultation with a plastic surgeon and examination.

The patient must undergo a general blood and urine test, as well as an analysis to determine the Rh factor, blood group, glucose, coagulation. If there are no contraindications, the date of the operation is assigned.

2-3 days before surgery, you should stop smoking and drinking alcohol. It is also advisable to stop taking medications that directly affect the process of blood clotting.

If the volume of work is small, and there are no restrictions on the analysis, underarm liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia.

Fat cells are extracted through small punctures. The armpit area is quite “capricious”. That is why, in combination with liposuction, it is advisable to additionally treat the skin with a laser, even when it comes to small volumes.

If the patient’s skin is inelastic, and there is also a predisposition to tissue ptosis, an RF hardware lifting is prescribed a month after liposuction.

This type of lifting literally “twists” collagen. As a result, the skin becomes firmer. The effect is achieved within a few months.

The ideal option is to combine underarm liposuction with thread lifting. This combination is prescribed on an individual basis, after examination by a plastic surgeon. A shoulder lift or brachioplasty will work after a massive weight loss.

Armpit liposuction belongs to the category of minimally invasive procedures. All manipulations are carried out through small punctures. The duration of the surgery is about 40 minutes. Underarm liposuction does not involve any stitches.

At the final stage of liposuction, the surgeon applies sutures, over which – a pressure bandage. It is necessary to wear it for several days.

In addition to mechanical liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction is also a popular option. In this case, the fat cells disintegrate as a result of exposure to ultrasound waves. At the same time, the removal of fat using a laser destroys sweat cells. Thus, the patient gets rid of profuse sweating.

Rehabilitation period

During the first days after the operation, the patient stays in  hospital of the clinic of Andrey Kharkov.

The rehabilitation process is as comfortable and short as possible. There are almost no restrictions at all. Massages, any thermal procedures, swimming in pools and reservoirs are prohibited. Such restrictions last for at least a month. Sports  is forbidden for two weeks.

In addition, special compression garments should be worn (for 4 weeks).

The duration of the liposuction result  directly depends on the lifestyle, genetic parameters and possible weight fluctuations.

With moderate physical activity, balanced nutrition, healthy lifestyle, a stable result of liposuction is maintained.
