Hips
The hips, specifically in some women, are the place where there is marked fat deposition. The figure acquires a typical pear shape, which is not ideal in today’s fashion culture. These so called Venus’ hips are of course affected by lifestyle and diet. There are many nick names attached to this problem and it can make the owner’s life really unpleasant.
If the client is not happy about his/her proportions, the first step to the improvement of their total body weight should be slimming. There are many methods starting with the modification of food intake, changing a diet and some extra exercises. This can be arranged by the patient’s own initiative, or it is supervised by a doctor with the specific regime or even the appropriate medication.
The favourite supportive methods for the reshaping of hips which are offered in Asklepion are the therapies provided by different body machines. The examples are Bodyter, which uses heat with passive exercises due to electric current, or the other machines Dermosonic and Aerosonic, which use ultrasound with vacuum massage. All machines tone the body, form it and reduce its volume.
If the patient has got the problems that despite being slim, the hips are still larger than desired, the appropriate way of correcting this disproportion is removing of fatty tissues by liposuction. In Asklepion we use the most gentle and most sensitive method, so called vibration liposuction. The instrument hammers the fat cells under the skin in places where they accumulated excessively. The cannula is inserted very carefully via incisions which are not much bigger than one centimetre. In Asklepion we never use the classical suction, which is much quicker than vibration method but removes also bits of skin, venules and nerves, nor the ultrasound method where there is some risk of thermal damage to the treated tissues.
For the success of any liposuction it is of course essential to follow the post operative routine. The client has to wear for at least 4–6 weeks special outfits, so called compression underwear, which models the body in parts where fat was removed.
If the skin on hips and body should look well and adjusted to the changed volume after the procedure, the elasticity has to be kept at its best. Unfortunately with advancing age elastin is reduced in skin and extra preventive regular care is required for the best results. There are special ways of doing this and in Asklepion we offer body cosmetics Orlane and Decleor and also regular body therapies and different type of massages, which are individually prescribed according to patients’ needs and wishes.
