I am writing on liposuction today to introduce a fall pricing reduction at Total Body Surgical! We are pros at this procedure and NOW is the best time to do it. Why??? Well, liposuction does take some time to completely heal and "stabilize". Getting ready for next summer starts today! I have extensive training and experience with all types of liposuction and not to toot my own horn....am pretty good at it!
Liposuction has been around for a long time. The first procedures were deadly in fact. It was rediscovered and refined later but still often required blood transfusion and hospitalization. Due to the work of Dr. Klein (a dermatologist), new and better transformations in the procedure now make it safe and more effective for the right people.
Who are the right people you might ask. Liposuction works best for those who are "in shape" but have problem areas. A chubby tummy, hips or love handles, saddle bags or outer thighs, inner thighs, chest, arms, or neck. Liposuction IS NOT a weight loss procedure. For those with smaller areas that they just cannot get rid of, liposuction is a procedure you should consider.
Modern liposuction can usually be done in an office procedure room. We use sedation and tumescent fluid so that you can come and go the same day. Tumescent fluid is the key to limiting pain and blood loss. The technique, developed by Dr. Klein, is based on good science and is very safe when done properly. The fluid is made using lidocaine (a local anesthetic), epinephrine (a normal chemical in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict or get smaller), and saline (salt water in concentrations that occur in the blood). After marking the areas to be treated and sedation, the areas are injected with this fluid. This causes the blood vessels in the area to constrict and numbs the area thus markedly limiting blood loss. The areas fat is then removed with a small hollow tube. This is done very carefully to not leave any defects or dents.-resized-600.jpg)
The channels of fat removed shrink with time and the area smooths and recontours. Without the fat! Vaser and Laser liposuction are technologies that are used to heat the skin so that it shrinks to fit the smaller size of the underlying fat pad. In my experience, using these technologies alone, without revoming the fat, does not give satisfying results and recovery times are about the same....a few days, then soreness for a couple of weeks. The fat that is injured during the procedure and not removed is absorbed by the body.
The complications that can occur are:
-lumpiness (usually occurs if weight is gained after liposuction)
-bruising (resolves with time)
-sagging skin (the one variable that cannot be controlled. Usually not a problem if the areas are selected appropriately)
-hyperpigmentation (especially in ethnic skin)
-dents (occur by removing too much fat in an area and can usually be repaired with revision)
Deaths can occur and are discussed by the media at length. These usually occur when inexperienced physicians give too much lidocaine. We are very meticulous about the dosing and when done properly, lidocaine toxicity is very rare. However, any cosmetic procedure can have REAL complications and should not be taken lightly! That's why I only do liposuction in the office on healthy individuals. I see patients personally, evaluate them, discuss the procedure's risks and benefits, and if I feel it is not the procedure to give you the results YOU desire, I will tell you.
