What to Expect at Your Liposuction Consultation

During your consultation at Peninsula Plastic Surgery, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals with our expert surgeons. Here’s what you can expect:

Personalized Consultation: Our surgeons will listen to your aesthetic goals and assess your body’s contours.
Physical Examination: A physical exam will help us identify the best areas for treatment and recommend a tailored liposuction approach.
Customized Treatment Plan: After evaluating your body and needs, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and provide a precise, written estimate of all costs.
Pre-Op Visit Scheduling: Once your surgical plan is finalized, we’ll schedule your pre-operative appointment to prepare for your liposuction procedure.

Pre-Op Visit

Your pre-op visit is an essential part of your liposuction journey. During this visit, we’ll go over the important details:

Pre-Op Photos: Detailed photos will be taken to document your appearance before surgery.
Surgical Explanation: Your surgeon will explain the procedure in-depth, including potential risks and what to expect.
Medical History Review: We’ll review your medical history to ensure you’re physically fit for surgery.
Final Preparations: You’ll complete the necessary paperwork, including consent forms, and make any final payments. You’ll also receive instructions on how to prepare for surgery.

The Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is typically performed outpatient, meaning you can go home the same day as your procedure. The surgery usually involves the following steps:

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is typically used, although IV sedation or general anesthesia may be offered based on your preferences and the extent of the procedure.
Fat Removal: A numbing solution is injected into the treatment areas to minimize discomfort and reduce bleeding. Small incisions (3mm) are made, and a thin, blunt-tipped cannula (suction tube) is inserted to remove fat.
Liposculpture: If you’re seeking liposculpture (more detailed contouring), the surgeon will carefully sculpt the body, ensuring smooth contours and balanced proportions.
Compression Garment: Once the fat is removed, the wounds are closed and compression garments are applied to aid in healing and minimize swelling.

The procedure generally lasts one to three hours, depending on the size and number of treated areas.

Post-Op Recovery

The recovery process for liposuction is relatively smooth, though it will require some attention. Here’s what you can expect:

Immediate Recovery: You’ll be able to go home on the same day of surgery (unless additional fat removal is performed, which may require an overnight stay).
Compression Garment: You will need to wear a compression garment for approximately a month to help reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Swelling and Bruising: Mild bruising and swelling are common and typically subside in 2-4 weeks.
Results Over Time: The final liposuction results will take 2-3 months to materialize as the body heals fully and the contours smooth out.

A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress and assess the results.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals in good health who have excess fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are looking to improve body contours and proportions and are not using liposuction as a weight loss method.

When will I see the results of the liposuction?

You will see initial results right after the procedure, though swelling and bruising may temporarily hide the final outcome. Full results will be visible in 2-3 months as your body matures.

How long do the results of liposuction last?

Liposuction provides long-lasting results, as fat cells are permanently removed. However, weight gain can impact your appearance, so it is important to maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle to preserve results.

What should I do before and after liposuction surgery?

Before surgery, follow your surgeon’s instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications. After surgery, it is advised that you wear a compression garment, limit physical activity, and follow the post-operative instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

Is there any downtime or side effects after liposuction?

Most patients can return to work within 3-7 days, depending on the extent of the procedure. Mild side effects, including swelling, bruising, and discomfort, are common and usually resolve within a few weeks. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or uneven contours.

What can I expect during a liposuction procedure?

The procedure involves making small incisions where a cannula is inserted to extract excess fat. Local anesthesia is typically used, and the procedure may take a few hours, depending on the areas treated. Post-surgery, a compression garment minimizes swelling and helps shape the body.
