Deciding on liposuction is a significant choice. Before proceeding, it’s essential to understand some critical aspects. What is Liposuction? Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from the body, improving contours and proportions. Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a weight-loss method nor a treatment for obesity. It targets stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise, potentially kickstarting a healthier lifestyle for motivated patients by enhancing their figure and self-confidence.
Cosmetic surgery is safer and more popular than ever. Liposuction, specifically, is widely considered safe and proven.
Having been a common procedure since the 1980s, liposuction’s safety has greatly improved due to advancements in techniques and medical guidelines. While the risks are minimal, the procedure’s safety depends on the type you receive and your medical history. Transparency with your doctor is crucial to understanding all possible risks and complications. During the Procedure
American Lipo Centers uses localized awake anesthesia, allowing patients to remain conscious and communicate their needs, promoting satisfaction and safety. Patients sometimes say that the numbing portion of the procedure feels odd/weird but is not painful. During the suctioning portion you will feel vibration and pressure, about completely manageable. Post-Procedure
Expect moderate pain and soreness, similar to after a tough workout, for the first few days. Over-the-counter medications can help. Most patients can return to work within three days and resume light exercise by one month post-op. Pain should significantly reduce after two weeks. Is Liposuction Permanent?
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body. Patients leave with fewer fat cells than they had before the procedure, and these fat cells do not return.
Liposuction is frequently performed on these areas:
Abdomen
Inner/outer thighs
Upper arms
Male chest
Waist/hips
Lower/upper back
Back/front bra roll (BBR)
Banana roll
Dorsal hump
Preparing for liposuction can feel daunting, but it’s straightforward. Here are five common pre-procedure steps to ensure a smooth process:
1. Set realistic expectations.
2. Plan for some downtime of about 2 to 3 days.
3. Stop consuming caffeine 24 hours before surgery.
4. Arrange for transportation for the drive you home (patient will be
unable to drive afterwards).
