Liposuction

WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes areas of fat from the body through a small thin tube called a cannula

The fat from the targeted area is suctioned from the body through this tube to help a patient achieve a slim and balanced appearance.

ENew technology has allowed for different techniques that have improved the accuracy and reduced the pain associated with this procedure.

Today, liposuction is usually performed into a much safer and less invasive procedure.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION?

The ideal candidate for liposuction is someone who is in good overall health and maintains a healthy lifestyle, but has one or more problem areas with unresponsive fat deposits.

It is also important for patients to have realistic expectations, and remember that the procedure cannot be used as a means for major weight loss. It is instead used to remove localized areas of stubborn fat after the patient has attempted other natural weight-loss methods.

HOW IS LIPOSUCTION SURGERY PERFORMED?

There are several different techniques available for patients seeking liposuction treatment. New technologies have improved the accuracy of this procedure, allowing patients to achieve their desired results through a much less invasive procedure. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

What Is the Recovery From Liposuction Surgery?

After the liposuction procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising and discomfort in the treated area. Compression garments or elastic bandages may be used to help reduce these symptoms while the area heals. Patients can return to work and other regular activities as soon as they feel comfortable, which is usually after a 7-10 days. Exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.

Dr. Oswald will give you special instructions on how to care for your treated area and reduce any complications after the procedure. The results of the procedure may not be visible until any swelling and bruising subsides. This may take several months, and results will appear gradually throughout this time.
