LIPOSUCTION
STARTING PRICE: $3,150.00
Liposuction is a type of fat-removal procedure used in cosmetic surgery In the United States. Liposuction is the most common and most popular cosmetic surgery today.
WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is a popular body contouring treatment that reduces pockets of fat from areas of the body with excess fat to produce a more defined appearance. This cosmetic procedure can be blended to treat several body parts.
It is not a tool for weight loss, as the amount of fat removed during the surgery is relatively small. But the difference in the body’s aesthetics after the procedure can be significant.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF LIPOSUCTION
Our liposuction essentially works the same way as traditional liposuction except that you aren’t asleep during the procedure. The surgeon will use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and painless during this minimally invasive surgery.
When you’re ready, the surgeon will carefully pass a cannula into your body through small incisions and then further numb the area with a tumescent solution, which is a local anesthetic that reduces pain and bleeding. They will then remove any unwanted fat. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, so your surgeon will shape and sculpt the body, removing fat strategically to get the desired body shape.
LIPOSUCTION RECOVERY
After liposuction, the area will be wrapped to help reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. The wrap may be a compression garment or elastic bandages. You may have to keep this wrap on for 3 to 4 weeks. If fat was removed from your calves or ankles, you may need to wear support hose for about 6 weeks.
Fluid may drain from the cuts (incisions) for several days. The fluid will be bloody at first, but will turn clear in a few days. The area will probably be bruised and swollen for at least 10 to 14 days. You will be able to return to your normal activities as soon as you feel comfortable. This may take several days to a few weeks. Most people can return to light work within a few days. It may take longer to get back to normal if a lot of fat was removed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
