About Liposuction Surgery

Stubborn fat is just that, stubborn! Despite a healthy diet and exercise many of us still have areas of hard to lose fat. Hormonal changes as we age can even change where our bodies preferentially store fat. Liposuction offers a quick and permanent solution to reduce fat and improve body contour.

Candidates

Men and women over the age of 18 with areas of excess fat.

Areas Treated

From the chin to the calves, almost any area of the body with excess fat can be treated with liposuction.

Before Surgery

Liposuction is not a weight loss or skin removal surgery. It is important to be in good health and at a maintainable weight prior to surgery. If you are being treated for any chronic health condition, such as high blood pressure, we will require surgical clearance from your primary care physician prior to surgery. For surgeries requiring general anesthesia, a current EKG and basic blood work are also required. All of these precautions will contribute to a swift and uncomplicated free recovery.

Recovery

After surgery you will need to wear a compressive garment over the treated area for 4-6 weeks. These garments are thin and comfortable, but you may need to slightly alter your clothing choices to conceal the garment. You will likely be quite sore for several weeks after surgery, this soreness rarely requires prescription pain medication after the first few days. Your final results will be 3-6 months post op.
