Liposuction Overview
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. It is often sought by individuals looking to contour their bodies when diet and exercise alone have proven insufficient. While liposuction can help achieve a slimmer and more proportional shape, it is not a weight-loss solution. Those who are significantly overweight may achieve better results through diet, exercise, or other surgical options.
This procedure is most effective for individuals with stable body weight who have localized fat deposits that do not respond to traditional weight-loss methods. It is important to note that liposuction is not intended for obesity treatment and should not replace a healthy lifestyle.

“I do every procedure three times. I do it all in my head in advance. I do the actual surgery. I review it all from start to finish to look for ways to improve. This way, each procedure I do is my best work.”
Precision Revision for Better Body Harmony
Preparation for liposuction begins weeks in advance. Consult your surgeon about what to expect during the surgery, and ensure they are aware of your complete medical history, including any medications, supplements, or herbs you are currently taking. You may be advised to:
Liposuction involves the insertion of a hollow stainless steel tube, known as a cannula, through small incisions in the skin to suction out unwanted fat. The specific technique used will depend on the type of liposuction performed. The duration of the surgery can vary based on the amount of fat removed and the number of areas treated.
Tumescent Liposuction: This popular method involves injecting a sterile solution containing saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine into the target area. This solution reduces blood loss and pain during fat suctioning.
What You Need to Know
Deciding to undergo liposuction is a personal choice that requires weighing potential benefits against the risks and complications. You will be required to sign consent forms to confirm your understanding of the procedure. Possible risks associated with liposuction include:
Post-surgery, it is normal to experience pain, swelling, and bruising. Your surgeon may prescribe medication to help manage pain and reduce the risk of infection. You may need to wear compression garments for a few weeks to minimize swelling. Recovery typically takes six months, with the first six weeks requiring reduced physical activity.
Expect to take a few days off work, with a gradual return to normal activities, including exercise, as directed by your surgeon.

Get plenty of rest, gradually increase activity levels, and avoid strenuous exercises until cleared by your doctor.
It may take several weeks or months to see the final results, as swelling and fluid retention can temporarily alter your appearance.
Limit activities involving the surgical site for about two weeks, and avoid strenuous exercises for three to four weeks.
If weight is gained after the procedure, fat may accumulate in untreated areas.
Initial results may appear after a few weeks, with final contours visible in three months.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure, but discomfort is common during recovery.
Avoid wearing tight clothing, as swelling is common and may be uncomfortable.
Eliminate alcohol, processed foods, salty and sugary items, and foods high in saturated fats for optimal recovery.
Showering is generally permitted 48 hours after surgery, but take care not to remove garments while standing.
Not wearing a garment can lead to increased swelling, bruising, discomfort, and may affect your surgical results.
