What You Need to Know About the Liposuction Cosmetic Surgery

When it comes to any cosmetic procedure, there is a wealth of information you need to know first. This also includes liposuction procedures that will help you reduce fat tissue. Liposuction is designed for individuals close to their ideal weight, but who have been able unable to lose stubborn fat tissue with the usual diet and exercise. Here is what you need to know before seeking liposuction cosmetic surgery:

Liposuction Treatments

It is important to understand how liposuction works before you undergo the procedure. Liposuction works be removing fat tissue through tiny incisions. We use small cannulas to safely remove fat tissue through suction. We utilize tumescent liposuction to shrink down your capillaries and veins and prevent any excess bleeding. This allows our patients to remain safe and only require local anesthesia, which does not have as many risks as general anesthesia.

Following Your Procedure

Liposuction is now much less invasive than previous iterations of this procedure, allowing your body to heal more quickly. Each of our patients is given compression garments to wear around their treatment area. These garments are designed to help create the desired shape and contour the body. Compression garments are also extremely helpful in reducing swelling, promoting a healthy blood flow, and preventing blood clots from forming. Your first follow-up appointment will be two days following your cosmetic surgery to ensure you are in good health. Individuals often experience some mild discomfort and swelling the first few days after liposuction but can return to everyday activities within a day.

The Risk of Liposuction

It is important to understand that all cosmetic procedures such as liposuction have risks. While you may want to remove as much fat tissue as possible, we limit the amount removed for each procedure, as excessive fat removal can be dangerous to a patient’s health. Experienced cosmetic surgeons understand the importance of safety.

The Cost of Liposuction

The price of liposuction all depends on the body mass index of your body. The higher the BMI, the higher the treatment cost. We will make sure to review all payment and financing options you have available for your procedure.
