Liposuction
Over 20 years
experience
We utilize the latest advances in “traditional”
suction lipectomy for the best results and the fewest
potential side effects. As Ultrasound, “Quick”, and Laser Lipo
become more prominent in media and advertising we’ve seen an
increase in patients needing our help to correct problems
resulting from these “quick” procedures. They come to us with lumpy
or dented skin surfaces, serious laser burns, and other issues. This
is why we strongly recommend using suction lipoplasty for
body contouring and removing those stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to dieting
and exercise.

Are You a Good Candidate for Liposculpture?
The
best candidates are healthy men and women with good skin
elasticity and realistic expectations. "Realistic" means that
improvement, not always perfection, is the goal. The fatty bulges should be
localized to a few areas and the individual should be near
their ideal body weight. Cellulite, or waffled skin, will not
be cured by this procedure.
It is natural for women, in particular, to accumulate fatty deposited on the hips, buttocks and abdomen; and fat in men tends to accumulate around the mid-section.
This body sculpting procedure can improve the appearance of men and women of all ages while boosting self esteem. It is not for obese people. It is not meant to replace good eating and exercise habits, or to counter obesity, however, it can help remove unwanted fatty deposits in many areas of the body.
There Are Risks in All Surgical Procedures
Lipoplasty is normally a safe and effective method of
removing excess fat. Like all surgeries, it involves some level of
risk. To help ensure a successful outcome, the patient should be a
good candidate, the surgeon should be well-trained, the surgical
facility should be properly equipped and the patient should follow
all instructions and advice.
This procedure can provide a new shape for people who never thought it was possible. Discuss the benefits and risks with your surgeon given your particular circumstances.
Before Liposculpture
During your consultation, you and your doctor will discuss the areas of your body you'd like to change. You may undergo an examination to thoroughly assess your fat storage, skin elasticity and review your medical and health history. Your surgeon can discuss the placement of incisions and what other procedures may need to be performed to achieve the proper result. He or she will discuss what medication you should avoid, such as any that affect blood coagulation, and you may be
Although you'll be mobile immediately following the procedure, you will want to arrange for someone to drive you home and to help out around the house for a day or so.
After Your Surgery
Most patients are immediately mobile, although an extra day or two of bed rest may be needed when large amounts of fat are removed. Keep in mind that healing is a gradual process. You
should begin normal activity as soon as possible to reduce post-operative complications, but in some cases you may be advised to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. Light exercise is usually permitted within a few days.
It may recommended that you wear a tight-fitting garment, similar to a girdle, to reduce swelling. This may need to be worn for up to six weeks. Remember, your body has to heal before you see the full benefits
of surgery. Your results will likely be visible within two or three weeks, but the full effect may not be fully evident for six months to a year.
Remember, this is a surgical procedure, and your body has to heal before you see the full benefits. Your results will likely be visible within two or three weeks, but the full effect may not be fully evident for six months to a year after surgery in some cases.
You should maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly to fully enjoy the new you for years to come. Many patients find that the procedure is such a psychological boost that it gives them the incentive to exercise even more than before to improve other parts of their physique. With realistic expectations, most patients are pleased with the improvements they see. The goal is for you to be more comfortable with your body and happy with your new shape.
