Liposuction
Who is a Candidate for Liposuction? Liposuction can be used to decrease fat deposits on the abdomen, neck, arms, thighs and other locations. It can also be combined with other body contouring procedures such as: tummy tuck, breast lift, thigh lift, lower body lift, brachioplasty, neck or facelift. If you are otherwise healthy and have good skin tone, you may be a candidate for liposuction. Not all patients are good candidates for liposuction – Dr. Meathrel will determine if liposuction is right for you are your consultation.
Planned Results: Decreased fat deposits and improved body contour
Procedure Description: Dr Meathrel uses tumescent power-assisted liposuction technique. Liposuction is a safe procedure when performed by an officially trained and experienced surgeon like Dr Meathrel. In most cases the procedure is completed under general anesthetic; however in certain circumstances the procedure may be completed under local anesthetic. You will have small 1 cm incisions in the region of liposuction that will be closed with dissolving sutures.
Recuperation and Healing: Following the procedure you will have some swelling and possible bruising in the areas. You will be required to wear special compression garments following the surgery and these can be obtained at U Cosmetic. You will be encouraged to return to your usual daily activities the following day, especially walking short distances. Prolonged bed rest following liposuction can lead to complications and it is therefore very important that you return to usual activities as quickly as possible. Avoid any activities that will increase your blood pressure for 48 hours. The length of recovery time depends on the extent of liposuction and the combination of procedures. This will be discussed with you in detail at your consultation.
Options and Considerations: You may be a candidate for Ultrashape noninvasive body contouring treatments. This will be determined at your consultation.
Notes: Liposuction can result in temporarily decreased sensation in the areas of liposuction. All potential complications will be discussed with you at your consultation.
