Liposuction in Stuart: Refining Bodies
Liposuction is a surgical procedure meant to refine areas of the body that need some extra attention. At his Stuart office, Dr. Fasano will break up undesired areas of fat, then gently suction those cells out of the body. Qualified patients of liposuction typically only want to refine an area, or lose a few pounds off a certain section. A liposuction procedure will not suction a hundred pounds out of the body – that’s what healthy eating and exercise is for.
How does Liposuction Work, and What is Involved?
A lipo procedure will usually only last approximately two hours, and the patient will be put under a general anesthetic during the surgery. Dr. Fasano will make a very small incision in the portion of the body requiring liposuction. A hollow tube, called a cannula, will be inserted into the deep layers of fat. It is much safer to work on deeper layers of fat, since it provides less chances of injury to the skin. Next, a dilute anesthetic solution will be inserted into the fat layer through the tube. This solution will help to break up the fat cells, along with movements of the cannula. Finally, a vacuum or syringe is used to suction out the leftover, unwanted fat.
What can Liposuction Do?
Besides the general answer of removing unwanted fat cells, liposuction is a procedure meant to remove stubborn pockets of fat that dieting simply cannot cure. Some problem areas liposuction can fix include the cheeks, neck, knees, and many others. Overall, the process will sculpt specific areas of the body and reduce bulk in unwanted areas. If you’re looking for something to restore your abdomen to good shape after pregnancy, weight loss or due to something else, a tummy tuck may be an option on which to consult Dr. Fasano.
Are Complications Expected?
With any surgical procedure, complications can occur. Since anesthetic is involved, there are risks, however minimal. Yet, there should only be minor discomfort and perhaps some bruising after having a liposuction procedure. These symptoms will respond well to normal types of pain medication, including over-the-counter pills. Recovery times will vary from patient to patient. It will depend upon the extent of fat removed, as well as from what area of the body it was taken. Usually, though, patients should expect to resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
Patients undergoing a liposuction procedure should expect to feel fully satisfied afterward. The process will have sculpted areas of the body that have been dormant for years. A boost in confidence should also be expected, as is normal with a makeover.
However, one should not expect to have a liposuction procedure done, then not have to continue taking care of the body. A proper wellness routine should be installed immediately, including healthy eating and proper fitness. A liposuction is not permanent, and that unwanted fat could begin to again amass. Stay active around Stuart to further tone those portions of the body, and keep looking sculpted and trim.
