Liposuction

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat from different body areas, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and upper arms. The goal of liposuction is to improve the contours and sculpt the body. Liposuction is not recommended as a substitute for proper diet and exercise. Instead, it is intended for people who have tried to lose weight but still have pockets of unwanted fat that won’t go away. There are different types of liposuction, and the choice of technique depends on various factors. Still, at Professional Plastic Surgery, we offer the latest and more effective liposuction.

This is a comprehensive liposuction procedure that targets the entire midsection, including the abdomen, waist, hips, and lower back. It creates a complete body contour and provides more dramatic results.

Inner And Outer Thighs

Liposuction in the inner and outer thighs create a more toned and youthful appearance.

Arms

Liposuction in the arms can create a more toned and shapelier look. It is often used to address stubborn fat on the upper arms.

Chin

Chin lipo can create a more defined jawline. It is often combined with other facial procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, for a more comprehensive result.

Buffalo Hump

Liposuction in the buffalo hump area can help to eliminate excess fat on the upper back and create a more contoured and proportionate appearance. It is often used to address the appearance of a hump-like bulge caused by excess fat

Bra Rolls

Bra roll lipo can help to eliminate unwanted fat and improve the appearance of the back. It can also help to reduce discomfort and irritation caused by bra straps.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is a technique that involves injecting a solution of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine into the treatment area before the fatty tissue is removed. The tumescent solution constricts the blood vessels in the treatment area, which can reduce bleeding and bruising during and after the procedure. In addition, the tumescent solution can help separate the fat cells from the surrounding tissue, making it easier to remove the unwanted fat more precisely.
During the procedure, the patient is prepped, and the incision points are numbed. Then, the tumescent fluid is injected using an infiltration cannula, and the fat deposits are removed using power-assisted liposuction.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

During this liposuction step, a small incision is made, and a cannula connected to a motor is inserted into the area where the fat needs to be removed. The cannula vibrates, allowing the fat to be loosened, making suctioning out of the body easier.
It is a popular technique among plastic surgeons because it removes larger volumes of fat with less effort and less trauma to the surrounding tissues. The vibrations of the cannula also make it easier to contour the treated area, resulting in a smoother and more even appearance. PAL is typically performed outpatient, under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may also be used.

Advantages of our combined techniques

A combined procedure of tumescent liposuction and power-assisted liposuction (PAL) has several advantages. This combination is a safe and effective surgical treatment with high patient satisfaction, rapid recovery time, and minimal complications or recurrences. Additionally, PAL is known for its speed and efficiency, which lessens the time under anesthesia and the trauma to surrounding tissue. Meanwhile, using a tumescent anesthetic and microcannula tumescent liposuction allows for more effective and less traumatic fat removal than the large cannula used in other liposuction techniques.

Anesthesia & scars | What to expect?

Patients are given anesthesia before the liposuction procedure to ensure they do not experience any discomfort or pain during the surgery. Depending on the extent of the procedure, anesthesia can be local, regional, or general.
After the liposuction procedure, patients can expect to have some scarring, but the amount of scarring will depend on the areas targeted. Most scars from liposuction are small and fade over time, but it’s important to follow the surgeon’s instructions for wound care to minimize scarring.
After the liposuction procedure, patients may experience some pain and discomfort, as well as bruising and swelling. Results from liposuction procedures may not be immediately visible due to swelling, but most liposuction patients can expect to see gradual improvements over time as the swelling subsides.

Liposuction Aftercare

The importance of aftercare to achieve optimal results

While the liposuction procedure itself is important, it is equally important for patients to take proper care of themselves during the recovery period to achieve optimal results. Here are some reasons why aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results from liposuction:

Promotes
Healing

Proper aftercare can help reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort, as well as minimize the risk of infection.

Prevents
Weight Gain

Liposuction can remove fat cells from targeted areas, but it does not prevent future weight gain. Proper aftercare, including maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, can help prevent weight gain and ensure long-lasting results.

Maintains
 Body Contour

After liposuction, it is important for patients to wear a compression garment as recommended by their surgeon. These garments can help maintain the body contouring process and reduce the risk of skin irregularities or lumpiness.

Improves
Skin Tightness

Aftercare can help improve skin tightness and minimize the risk of loose skin. Maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and following a light exercise routine can all help improve skin elasticity and promote optimal results.

Enhances 
Overall Wellness

Taking care of oneself after liposuction can also enhance overall wellness. Getting enough rest can help improve energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.

Liposuction - benefits

The long-term results of
liposuction procedure

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that can provide long-term results for patients. Here are some things to keep in mind about the long-term results of liposuction:

Permanent Fat Reduction

Liposuction permanently removes body fat from the treated areas, resulting in long-lasting results. While future weight gain can still occur, the treated areas are less likely to accumulate excess fat.

Maintenance
is Key

While liposuction provides permanent fat reduction, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise to ensure the long-term results of the procedure.

Age and Skin Elasticity

As patients age, skin elasticity may decrease, leading to a less toned appearance. Additionally, weight gain can lead to the accumulation of fat in untreated areas. However, the treated areas will still maintain their permanent fat reduction.

Individual Liposuction Results

Each patient’s individual results may vary based on factors such as skin elasticity, age, weight changes, and overall health. It is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss expected long-term results with a qualified plastic surgeon.

Additional Procedures

In some cases, additional cosmetic procedures such as touch-up liposuction or skin tightening may be necessary to maintain optimal results over time.

Liposuction - FAQ

FAQs about Liposuction

No, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to contour and shape the body.

The amount of fat that can be safely removed with liposuction depends on the patient and the specific areas being treated. In general, the maximum amount of fat that can be removed during a single session is around 5 liters (11 pounds). However, the surgeon will evaluate each patient’s individual needs and determine how much fat to remove to achieve the desired results while ensuring patient safety.

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure, so some degree of discomfort can be expected during and after the procedure. However, anesthesia and pain medication are used to minimize pain and discomfort during the procedure and throughout the recovery period. The level of pain and discomfort can vary depending on the individual’s pain tolerance and the extent of the procedure, but most liposuction patients find that any discomfort is manageable with appropriate pain management.

Recovery time after liposuction can differ depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual patient’s healing process. After the procedure, most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days or a week. However, it could take several weeks or months for the swelling and bruising to disappear completely and for the final result to appear.

Liposuction permanently eliminates fat cells from the areas treated. However, it is important to note that the remaining body fat can still enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a balanced diet and exercise routine is important after liposuction to maintain a stable body weight and prevent new areas of fat accumulation.

Yes, liposuction is an effective fat-removal procedure for patients who have localized pockets of fat that are not responding to diet and exercise. It can help to contour and reshape the body, resulting in a slimmer, more toned appearance. However, it is important for patients to have realistic expectations and to understand that liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle or a solution for overall weight loss.

Like all surgical procedures, liposuction carries risks and could cause complications. These can include bleeding, infection, anesthesia risks, and changes in sensation or skin surface irregularities. However, these risks are generally low when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon and proper aftercare instructions are followed. Patients can discuss any concerns with their surgeon during the consultation process.

  • Traditional liposuction: This technique involves fat removal via a cannula moving back and forth. However, traditional liposuction is associated with a higher risk of complications compared to newer techniques.
  • Laser-assisted liposuction: This technique uses a laser to liquefy the fat before suctioning it. The laser heats the fat cells, causing them to burst and become easier to remove. It is particularly effective for removing small amounts of fat and can be used on various body areas.
  • Ultrasonic liposuction: In this technique, ultrasonic waves are used to break down the fat cells before they are suctioned out. This technique is particularly effective for removing fat from denser areas, such as the upper back and even enlarged male breast tissue.
  • Tumescent liposuction: A solution of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine is injected into the targeted area before fat removal. The solution helps to numb the area, reduce bleeding, and make the procedure more comfortable for the patient. Tumescent liposuction is considered a safe and effective method with fewer risks of complications.
  • Power-assisted liposuction: This technique uses a vibrating cannula to break up stubborn fat deposits before it is suctioned out. The vibrations make the procedure more efficient and less traumatic to the surrounding tissues.
