It is important to understand what liposuction is and what it can achieve before you decide if it will help with your aesthetic goals. Liposuction is a wonderful tool for optimizing your body contour, but it is not a replacement for traditional weight loss strategies. Liposuction does remove unwanted fat, but it is not designed to remove large amounts of fat tissue or to help you lose weight. It is a tool for sculpting your body to the look you want.
Liposuction is a good choice for our patients who just need finishing touches to their look. It removes the stubborn areas of fat, such as in your hip or belly region, that may last despite your best efforts to diet and exercise. With this in mind, you can use liposuction to achieve your ideal aesthetic in a safe, convenient manner.
Scottsdale patients who are good candidates for liposuction include those who:
Having realistic expectations is important when it comes to being happy with your outcome. If you expect unrealistic results, such as using liposuction as the primary tool for weight loss, then you will find the results unfulfilling.
When you decide to pursue liposuction, your first step is to schedule a consultation in Scottsdale. At your consultation, Dr. Pierce and the skilled team at Desert Plastic Surgery will walk you through what the procedure entails and whether or not it is the best choice for you. You will provide your medical history and undergo a physical examination to make sure you are healthy enough for the procedure. Once we confirm that you are a good candidate for body sculpting, you will discuss which regions you would like to focus on and schedule your liposuction.
On the day of surgery, you will meet your anesthesiologist. Most liposuction procedures are done under general anesthesia. Once you are anesthetized, Dr. Pierce will create a small incision, insert the cannula (a small tube), and begin the suction process. A solution of saline and local anesthesia in injected into the fat to help liquify the fat, decrease any bleeding and provide anesthesia after the surgery is complete. Dr. Pierce will remove the unwanted fat using suction to achieve your desired body contours.
When the procedure is finished, the incisions are closed, a compression garment is placed, and you are moved to recovery. You may feel sore and experience some bruising after the procedure, but this is normal. You will schedule a follow-up appointment and receive recovery instructions before going home.
