Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is typically an excellent solution for adults who are within 30 percent of their ideal weight. It is also best that the patient has firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone.
Additionally, patients should:
- Have realistic expectations for the procedure
- Be in general good health
- Be a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking
To verify that you are the right candidate for liposuction in Riverside, book a consultation with Dr. Andreasen.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
There are a few different types of liposuction techniques, but they all use a thin tube (cannula) connected to a vacuum which suctions the fat from your body. Dr. Andreasen offers both traditional liposuction and ultrasound (laser-assisted) liposuction.
Traditional Liposuction
Tumescent fluids are injected into the body to break up fat particles. Then, a cannula is used to vacuum out the fatty tissue quickly and efficiently. This process offers an enhanced definition of the abdomen and creates a slimmer shape. Traditional liposuction is gentle enough to be used around the face but offers the best results in areas with greater tissue thickness.
Ultrasound (Laser-Assisted) Liposuction
This method uses an ultrasound or laser attachments on the cannula to loosen fat for easier fat removal. The ultrasound and laser-assisted process promote skin shrinkage, which helps to achieve a firmer contour. Additionally, this technique allows for more precise fat targeting and removal.
The procedure’s time will depend on how many areas you are targeting and how much fat you intend to remove.
Patients receive general anesthesia during the procedure for optimal safety and comfort.
What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?
Patients may experience some discomfort and pain after the surgery but will be prescribed oral pain medication to help with pain management. Individuals should expect to see some bruising and swelling after the surgery.
Expect to take several days off work for a full recovery. Additionally, a compression garment will need to be used throughout the recovery. Most individuals can return to work within one to two weeks post-surgery and resume exercise after one month.
What Results Can I Expect From Liposuction?
Liposuction offers long-lasting results. Once the fat is removed, it is permanently gone, as long as the patient maintains their weight.
