Lipomatic is an advanced fat removal technique performed using a vibrating device of the same name. This device employs rotational and vibrational movements alongside the production of ultrasound waves to target and destroy fat cells—unlike the traditional liposuction method, which relied on vacuum suction to remove fat.
Recently, lipomatic has been referred to as a “mechanical microliposculpture technique assisted by ultrasound.” It can be performed on various parts of the body, including the chest, abdomen, buttocks, calves, knees, ankles, chin, cheeks, and neck area.
If you’re dissatisfied with the bulky appearance of your legs, we recommend lipomatic for the back of the calves and thighs. This technique, performed with high precision and under local anesthesia, reshapes the legs through a small 4mm incision. Typically, patients can resume their normal activities within 3 to 5 days after the procedure.
How Lipomatic Works on the Back of the Calves
The goal of lipomatic on the back of the calves is to reshape and resize this area. The device operates like a pneumatic motor, using ultrasound waves to deliver triple-motion movements—zigzag, rotational, and vibrational—through a cannula.
These combined movements create a helical pathway that helps break down the excess subcutaneous fat.
Procedure: How Lipomatic is Performed on the Calves
After administering local anesthesia, the surgeon makes one or more incisions about 2 to 5 millimeters in diameter on the calves. Through these small openings, the lipomatic cannula is inserted and used to disrupt and destroy the majority of the fat tissue.
Finally, the emulsified fat is extracted via suction. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and is usually completed in a single session.
Clinical experience shows that the likelihood of fat returning after lipomatic is around 20 percent.
Advantages of Lipomatic for the Back of the Calves
Lipomatic is considered the most modern fat removal method, delivering astonishing and noticeably different results compared to older fat-reduction techniques. Those who have undergone lipomatic report a visible decrease in size and a reduction in cellulite.
Compared to traditional liposuction, lipomatic promotes faster recovery, as it leads to less inflammation and swelling after treatment. Additionally, the vibration of the cannula stimulates collagen production and supports the skin’s natural retraction process. The vibration frequency of the lipomatic device is 10 Hz, which also promotes the release of endorphins—a natural painkiller—extending the effects of anesthesia for 20 to 30 minutes.
A key benefit of this method is that local anesthesia is used, unlike liposuction, which generally requires general anesthesia with its own set of side effects. Further benefits include:
• Shapes the back of the calves by removing subcutaneous fat without causing fat protrusions under the skin.
• Provides better skin tightening and contouring compared to other surgical methods.
• Much simpler and less invasive than traditional fat removal surgeries.
• No need for hospitalization; patients can be discharged shortly after the procedure.
• Minimal physical strain or fatigue for the patient during surgery.
• Very low risk of swelling, fluid retention under the skin, infection, or fat embolism.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Lipomatic of the Calf?
According to plastic surgeons, this procedure is appropriate for the following individuals:
• Those who, despite regular exercise and a healthy diet, have not been able to eliminate fat in the thighs and the back of the calves.
• Individuals who do not have excess fat in other areas of the body and only suffer from localized fat in the calf area. Overuse of this method may pose risks to the patient.
• People aged 18 and over who have elastic and flexible skin.
To undergo this procedure, you must be in good overall health. Therefore, the following individuals are not eligible for this surgery:
• Patients with blood clotting disorders such as hemophilia
• Individuals suffering from chronic diseases like severe diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, or high blood pressure
• Those with nervous system or immune system disorders
Important Considerations Before Undergoing Lipomatic of the Calf
Before the procedure, it is essential to provide your surgeon with a complete list of your current medications, as corticosteroids and anticoagulants should be discontinued several days in advance to reduce the risk of complications. To ensure a faster recovery, it’s recommended to stop smoking at least one week before the operation.
Typically, lab tests are performed before surgery, and the surgeon will mark the target areas. You’ll also need to fast for 8 to 12 hours prior to the procedure.
Cost of Lipomatic Surgery for the Calf
The total cost varies from patient to patient and depends on the volume of fat accumulated in the calf area and the expertise of the surgeon. You can consult with Dr. Vafaei’s Aesthetic Clinic—recognized as one of the top centers for lipomatic calf sculpting in Tehran—for more information on pricing and consultation.
Post-Operative Care Guidelines After Calf Lipomatic
After the surgery, patients are required to wear compression stockings for two weeks to ensure proper skin adherence and help restore elasticity. Experiencing swelling, redness, and pain in the treated area is normal and usually subsides on its own within 2 to 3 days.
Avoid intense physical activity or workouts for the first 2 to 4 weeks. Instead, gradually reintroduce movement with light walking. Full recovery may take 1 to 3 months, depending on the amount of fat removed and the patient’s individual physiology.
Potential Side Effects of Lipomatic Calf Surgery
• Possible side effects of this procedure include:
• Infection
• Asymmetry between legs
• Pigmentation changes (hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation)
• Skin damage
• Excessive loss of blood or bodily fluids
Visiting a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon greatly minimizes the risk of these complications. Dr. Vafaei, known as one of the leading specialists for lipomatic calf surgery in Tehran, can guide you through the process safely and professionally.
