Liposuction is a procedure designed to re-shape and contour the body by removing and reshaping areas of stubborn, excess fat.

Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed. The most common areas treated for women are abdomen, buttocks, inner and outer thighs. In men the most common areas include the abdomen, flanks and the breast area.

It is also the most dangerous procedure and most likely to be done incorrectly, even by board-certified plastic surgeons. No other procedure has such impressive results with such small incisions. It is however not a procedure for everyone. The ideal candidate is young and has some fat deposits with good skin quality. In older people the results depend on their skin quality. If a patient has excess subcutaneous fat, but has good skin texture, is relatively young and the abdominal musculature is in good shape, then liposuction alone is an excellent technique and is probably recommended. Liposuction occurs in numerous different forms. The techniques are:

• Suction-assisted liposuction which uses suction alone to suck out the fat through metal cannulas with small holes in the tip of the cannula.

• Power assisted liposuction is basically the same as suction assisted liposuction except the handpiece has a pistol like action which moves the cannula in and out by a few millimetres. This technique is very safe, efficient and effective.

• Ultrasonic-assisted liposuction which uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat and the emulsified fat has to be sucked out through a different cannula.

In general, liposuction is best for sculpting fattier areas of the body, rather than for an overall fat reduction.

It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss tool.

If you are over age 30, have had a pregnancy or child or have a BMI over 30, most likely you need skin removal surgery such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. If you are less than 30, have tight skin and BMI less than 30 you may be a good candidate for liposuction alone.

An arm lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arms. This surgery is suitable for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or those who have loose skin due to ageing. The arm lift procedure helps to improve the contour and tone of the arms. This is a fabulous operation that makes profound changes in the lives of the patients.

The technique known as the ‘very short axillary scar brachioplasty’ is not worth considering, as it improves only a very small portion of the upper arm. The scars are usually stretched although they are hidden in the armpit. Scarring is a natural part of any surgical procedure. In an arm lift, incisions are typically made on the inner or back of the arm to minimise visibility. Dr. Nena Deskoulidi uses precise techniques to ensure scars are as discreet as possible and provides advice on scar care during recovery.

Abdominoplasty surgery can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding or flabby abdomen. This is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall that have stretched and split as a result of childbirth, aging or weight loss. It is important to note that an abdominal procedure is not a method for fat loss. Other limitations to this procedure include large amounts of central abdominal fat, the presence of stretch marks, which can be more obvious during this procedure and any previous abdominal surgery that you may have had, which can compromise blood flow to the abdomen.

Liposuction, muscle tightening, pubic lift and belly button relocating are usually included with all these procedures.

Dr.Nena Deskoulidi uses the latest techniques with progressive tension sutures for better shaping of the abdomen preventing complications such as skin flap necrosis, seromas or migration of the mons pubis.

Patients who experience significant weight loss experience discomfort and embarrassment from excess skin in the thighs.

In this procedure, Dr. Nena Deskoulidi removes extra skin and fat from the inner thighs, making sure to place the scars in a concealed area on the inside of the thigh. The scar often extends from the knees to the groin. Liposuction may be incorporated into this procedure as needed.

Labiaplasty, an operation that modifies the external look of the genitalia. Women may have an excessive amount of skin in the vaginal area. Having the extra tissue removed is a common decision made by women because it can cause embarrassment or irritation.

To get the greatest results possible for each and every patient, labiaplasty demands expert accuracy and a trained eye. After all, the patient is asking for surgery to be performed on a very private area of her body, which may have embarrassed or bothered her for a long time.

Dr.Nena Deskoulidi uses a special technique to correct labia minora which she believes gives the best results with minimal scarring, which overtime becomes almost imperceptible. Other plastic surgeons perform a wedge resection, which is also described however she has found that this leaves more of an internal scar with the discoloured wrinkly edges of the labia majora still present.

Dr Deskoulidi does not perform operations on labia majora.
