What it is: Liposuction is designed to remove unwanted excess body fat to improve a patient’s body contour and appearance. For men, areas most commonly treated are the lateral flanks "love handles", the breasts and the anterior abdomen. Liposuction can also be performed on both upper and lower limbs as well as the face and neck areas. Liposuction is not a remedy for generalized obesity. It is best suited for localized areas of fat deposition which are otherwise refractory to diet and exercise. Typically liposuction results in improved appearance, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
Procedure: Liposuction is performed by inserting long narrow suction canulas through minimal stab wound incisions. These are placed in strategic locations to minimize post-operative visibility.
Where it is Done: Liposuction is usually performed on an out-patient basis.
What to Expect: Placement of drains is rare. Small visible scars will result from this procedure. Small stab wound incisions are placed in strategic areas so that visibility of post-operative scars is minimal. We recommend wearing a post operative compressive garment for approximately 2-3 weeks post-operatively. This helps the over-lying skin retract more smoothly.
Anesthesia and Medication: Liposuction does not necessarily require general anesthesia where the patient is put to sleep. General anesthesia is recommended for larger treatment areas.
Recovery: Most patients can resume vigorous exercise in approximately 1-2 weeks post operatively. |
