Overview

In postmenopausal women, hormonal changes lead to a redistribution of body fat, often resulting in fat accumulation in areas such as the back, flanks, pre-axillary zone of the breast, and inner arms. Our clinic has developed a specialized liposuction protocol to address these changes and help women regain a more feminine and youthful shape.

Description

Liposuction targets specific areas affected by hormonal changes during menopause:
  • Back: Fat accumulation in the back is common and often requires treatment.
  • Flanks: Postmenopausal women frequently develop fat deposits in the flanks, unlike younger women.
  • Preaxillary Zone of the Breast: Fat deposits form rolls beside the breast fold and towards the back.
  • Inner Arms: Fat tends to accumulate on the inner aspect of the arms, requiring specialized treatment.

Consultation

During the consultation, the surgeon evaluates the patient’s areas of concern, focusing on the back, flanks, pre-axillary breast zone, and inner arms. The patient’s medical history, hormonal status, aesthetic goals, and expectations are discussed to determine the most suitable liposuction approach.

Procedure

  • Preparation: Marking the targeted areas to guide the procedure.
  • Anesthesia: Tumescent solution with local anesthetic is injected to numb the area and reduce bleeding.
  • Powered Liposuction: This technique allows for easier fat aspiration and better skin retraction. It involves the following:
    • Back: Fat is aspirated with minimal bleeding and enhanced skin retraction. Superficial liposuction with thin cannulas is used to eliminate remaining irregularities.
    • Preaxillary Zone: Treated from back incisions, following the same protocol to remove fat deposits forming rolls.
    • Flanks: Powered liposuction provides good aesthetic outcomes for postmenopausal fat deposits.
    • Inner Arms: Treated with powered liposuction for effective fat removal and skin tightening.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Dressings and compression garments are applied to minimize swelling and support healing.

After Surgery

    Patients can typically walk immediately after the procedure and are provided with detailed post-operative instructions. Mild pain relievers like Tylenol are usually sufficient for discomfort. Patients are encouraged to stay active and take short walks starting immediately. Showers are recommended starting the morning after the procedure. Initial fluid drainage occurs for the first 24 hours, with reduced drainage over the next 48-72 hours. Swelling may increase initially but gradually decreases over several weeks.

Results

    Initial results become noticeable within 2-3 weeks as swelling subsides. Patients often experience a significant improvement in body contour, especially in the way clothes fit. Final results will be seen over several months as the body continues to heal and adjust. Many patients find a marked improvement in their silhouette, achieving a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing figure.

Complications

    Possible complications include swelling, bruising, and temporary lumpiness. Powered liposuction techniques reduce the risk of uneven results and improve skin retraction. Rare complications may include infection, hematomas, or asymmetry, which can usually be corrected with follow-up procedures.
