What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a targeted fat removal and body contouring procedure that is the ideal option for getting rid of stubborn body fat that will not respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction can be performed in areas all across the body and can help to refine or redefine the appearance of your figure. Men and women interested in liposuction can receive the care they are looking for by visiting our plastic and reconstructive surgery proactive in Vancouver.

The Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction can be an excellent procedure to slim and contour specific areas of the body by removing excess fat from these areas and allowing the skin to tighten, to help create a fit and healthy look and feel. Despite exercising and maintain a healthy lifestyle, there can commonly be areas that are resistant to your best efforts. In addition, disproportionate contours can be due to localized fat deposits that relate to genetic influence, rather than lack of weight control or fitness.

Areas that are commonly treated include:

• Abdomen and waist
• Thighs, hips and buttocks
• Arms, neck and back
• Chest (gynecomastia)
• Cheeks and chin
• Calves and ankles

Will Liposuction Leave Post-Surgical Marks?

In general, the procedure is performed through small incisions near the areas identified to address. One of Dr. Seal’s goals for your liposuction, is to make your incisions as unnoticeable as possible, and these are usually hidden in areas of natural contour lines or creases.

What to Expect During Your Liposuction Recovery

The procedure can be performed either under local, or general anesthetic, depending on the size and number of areas being treated, and your preference. You will be able to go home after the procedure to relax and recover. The length of the recovery period can be influenced by the location and number of areas treated. Most patients recover well over the first week and should be able to return to all of their regular activities within 3-5 days. There may be some restrictions from exercise over the first few weeks, and often during the recovery time, you will wear a compression garment under your clothes to help minimize swelling and provide support to the treated areas as they heal.

Within the first few weeks, you will notice an improvement in your body contour and appearance. The skin in the treated area can take longer to tighten around the new slender shape, and because of this, the final results can appear gradually over the first few months.

With diet and exercise often there are areas that are resistant to our best efforts, and liposuction can be a procedure that creates transforming results for your appearance and can help you feel beautiful, fit, and healthy.

The Cost of Liposuction

The cost of your liposuction will depend on the number of areas treated, the amount of work required to attain your ideal results, and other factors. Financing options are available to help make the payment process more manageable.
