It is a technique in liposuction when using any of the previously mentioned high-tech machines while enhancing the muscle appearance in men by enhancing their arms, chest and abdomen muscles, and giving women a nicely curved appearance by enhancing their abdominal muscles and altering the hip-waist ratio to a nice feminine contour by removing fat from one area and re-inject it into another. It is the preferred technique by Dr Mohamed Ashraf and we&#8217;ve been utilizing the technique since 2012 with great success.<\/p>\n<h2>Before the procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Dr Mohamed Ashraf will explain everything you need to know about the procedure and expected results.<\/p>\n<p>Routine labs are required to make sure that the patient is in good health stats before our procedure.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re asked to<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stop any analgesics 2 days before surgery apart from paracetamol<\/li>\n<li>Stop smoking<\/li>\n<li>Stop any multivitamins<\/li>\n<li>Stop blood thinning medications (aspirin, coumarin or NOAG) for 10 days<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t stop any hypertension or diabetes drugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Types of Anesthesia for liposuction<\/h2>\n<p>Almost all types of anesthesia is possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Local anesthesia (with sedation)<\/li>\n<li>Epidural\u00a0 anesthesia (the one used for cesarean section)<\/li>\n<li>General anesthesia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The decision of which should be used is discussed with the patient and anesthesiologist to provide the safest for his\/her case.<\/p>\n<h2>The Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Small incisions not more than 5 mm, usually 2 incisions per body parts are made to do our job by performing first injection of fluids, then fat liquefaction, followed by suction of fat using our specialized instruments.
