When diet and exercise aren’t enough to give you the body shape you’re looking for, liposuction may be the right choice. This type of procedure removes pockets of fat from specific areas of the body that remain unaffected by your weight loss methods. Body contouring through liposuction may help to change your body back to how it used to be and give you more confidence about the way you look.

The best candidates for liposuction are men and women who are in good physical health and have specific areas of their body that they want to target for excess fat removal. For women looking for liposuction, the areas that are most frequently treated by liposuction are the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and beneath the chin. The most commonly treated areas for men are the love handles, abdomen, breasts, neck, and chin area.

Liposuction addresses excess fat deposits located between the skin and muscle around the treatment area. During the procedure, a small, stainless steel tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny skin incisions in order to suction the fat from the body. The cannula creates tiny tunnels through which your surgeon will remove the excess fatty tissue. This technique allows your surgeon to precisely and delicately target your areas of concern to achieve a better body contouring.

Even though the fat cells are removed during your body contouring procedure, you can still gain weight in other areas of the body that your liposuction procedure did not target. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen to maintain your new look long term.

VASER Liposuction is a cutting-edge body contouring procedure that utilizes ultrasonic technology to gently dislodge fat cells while preserving surrounding structures such as nerves and blood vessels. This results in a smoother fat cell removal process with minimal bruising or injury to surrounding structures. With its precise fat targeting capabilities, VASER Liposuction provides improved definition and smoother contours.

Targeted Fat Removal:

VASER Liposuction begins with the injection of a tumescent solution, which helps numb the treatment area and shrink blood vessels for minimal bleeding and bruising. The VASER device emits ultrasound energy that specifically targets fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues, nerves, and blood vessels.

Ultrasonic Energy

The VASER technology breaks down fat cells by emitting ultrasonic energy, which gently dislodges the fat while leaving other tissues virtually unaffected during your procedure. The fat is then easily suctioned out through small, inconspicuous incisions.

Precision and Customization

The VASER Liposuction technique allows for precise sculpting and contouring of the treated area. Dr. Zamani can tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique body shape and aesthetic goals, ensuring a personalized and natural-looking outcome.

Enhanced Precision

The ultrasonic energy used in VASER Liposuction specifically targets fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues largely unharmed. This precision allows for smoother results with minimal trauma to the body.

Reduced Downtime

Compared to traditional liposuction techniques, VASER Liposuction typically involves less downtime. The advanced technology dislodges targeted fat without damaging surrounding tissue, blood vessels or nerves which promotes faster healing with minimal bruising, resulting in quicker recovery and less post-operative discomfort.

Versatility

One of the critical advantages of VASER liposuction is its ability to effectively treat fibrous areas and areas with denser fat deposits that may be challenging to address with other techniques. VASER Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can be applied to various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and chin. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan.

Improved Definition

By selectively removing unwanted fat deposits, VASER Liposuction can enhance muscle definition and reveal underlying contours, providing a sculpted and toned appearance.

Skin Tightening Effect

The ultrasonic energy delivered during VASER Liposuction stimulates collagen production in the treated area. This can result in improved skin elasticity and tightening, further enhancing the overall aesthetic outcome.

How do I find the best plastic surgeon for liposuction near me?

To find the best plastic surgeons near you, research board-certified plastic surgeons with experience performing liposuction procedures in your area. After doing some research on the plastic surgeons you find, choose two to three candidates that find are most compatible with your expectations.

You should schedule a consultation with each of them to make sure that you will be comfortable working with this person and their staff for the entire procedure process. Ask all of your questions and make sure you are able to understand and communicate well with your potential plastic surgeon. You should also ask to see before and after photos of previous patients to get an idea of the results you can expect to see.

What should I expect from liposuction recovery?

Liposuction is typically performed using general anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during your procedure. After your liposuction, you may likely experience some discomfort and soreness. However, the type of anesthesia used, proactive pain management, and compression garments can help minimize discomfort.

Depending on the invasiveness of your liposuction and whether you combined your lipo with other procedures, you may need to take anywhere from a few days to weeks off of work to allow for adequate healing.

What are the complication and risks of liposuction?

While liposuction is an overall safe procedure, there are some risks involved as with most surgical procedures. Although rare, potential risks can include infections, excessive bleeding, skin ulcerations and nerve damage.

Complications typically arise when too much liposuction is done at once. We will take extra precautions to avoid these risks as much as possible.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for liposuction?

Characteristics of good candidates include:

• Good skin elasticity
• Stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise
• Generally healthy

The best way to know for sure if you are a good candidate for liposuction is to schedule a free consultation.

How can I prepare for my liposuction?

You will receive specific instructions on how to prepare for your liposuction procedure. However, here are some general guidelines to follow:

• Stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before surgery
• Eat healthy and follow a regular exercise regimen
• Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin and ibuprofen
• Have realistic expectations for your results.
