Such a combination treatment is certainly possible, for example in the case of a fat distribution disorder. <\/p>\n<p>Smaller or larger accumulations of fat on the legs are a typical symptom of so-called lipoedema. This localized <strong>fat distribution disorder<\/strong> is often inherited. <\/p>\n<p>Patients suffering from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/op\/body\/lipedema-duesseldorf\/\">lipoedema<\/a> seek <strong>liposuction<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong><strong>the buttocks<\/strong> <strong>and<\/strong> <strong>legs<\/strong> not only because of the improved aesthetics. Above all, they want to alleviate existing swelling, pain and similar complaints. <\/p>\n<p>Liposuction on the legs is a <strong>standard treatment<\/strong>, but a procedure on the buttocks is not standard and is considered taboo due to its anatomical characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>When treating the legs, the plastic surgeon requires a great deal of experience, especially for the ankles and calves, as these areas are very demanding.<\/p>\n<h2>What needs to be considered during liposuction on the buttocks and legs?<\/h2>\n<h3>Legs<\/h3>\n<p>The most important information on <strong>liposuction<\/strong> <strong>of the<\/strong> <strong>legs<\/strong> can be found in the section on the treatment of the <u>thighs<\/u>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/lexikon\/suction-of-saddlebags-duesseldorf\/\">riding breeches<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/lexikon\/liposuction-on-the-lower-leg\/\">calves<\/a> and <u>ankles<\/u> . In principle, suction can be applied to almost all areas of the legs.<\/p>\n<p>However, the classic areas are the thighs, including <strong>saddlebags<\/strong>, the front region of the thighs and the inner thighs.<\/p>\n<p>The area above the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/lexikon\/liposuction-on-the-knee\/\">knee<\/a> is not treated by every plastic surgeon, as it is a special region.<\/p>\n<h4>Aftercare<\/h4>\n<p>In many cases, <strong>no sport<\/strong> may be practiced for a period of around <strong>6 weeks<\/strong>. <strong>Compression garments<\/strong> must be worn for the same period. Painkillers and decongestants are only recommended for the first few days.  <\/p>\n<h3>Po<\/h3>\n<p>The special feature of <strong>liposuction<\/strong> <strong>on the<\/strong> <strong>buttocks<\/strong> is the fact that the area of the buttocks is not usually suctioned off, as the existing tissue structures could cause ripples, dents and retractions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the excess skin that forms can result in a <strong>sagging buttock<\/strong>, which can lead to a significant impairment of the patient&#8217;s appearance.<\/p>\n<p>However, a less risky operation can be performed around the buttocks, making them appear smaller. If it is still necessary to reduce the tissue on the buttocks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/op\/cup-correction\/buttocks-tightening\/\">a butt lift <\/a>may be the method of choice. <\/p>\n<p>This operation can remove fatty tissue and skin so that the buttocks appear smaller. However, this method results in a long scar which, depending on the technique used, runs in the horizontal folds of the buttocks or above the buttocks. <\/p>\n<p>Due to the special features described above, true<strong> liposuction of the buttocks is not recommended<\/strong>, except in combination with a butt lift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people would like to have liposuction on their buttocks and legs.
