Liposuction is one of cosmetic surgery’s most misunderstood procedures. Liposuction is not a weight loss program, and it must not be treated like one. Only 500 cc of fat can be removed during liposuction without compromising the patient’s safety, and no professional surgeon will question that. Another thing that liposuction does not treat is cellulite. Rather, Beverly Hills liposuction is a procedure recommended for men and women of average weight who’ve found that, after following a reasonable diet and exercise regimen, they still have “problem areas” that are completely resistant to change. A common complaint is that clothes don’t fit the way a patient would like. A successful Beverly Hills liposuction will leave you with a well-proportioned body and a pleasing contour and will often serve as a big boost to your confidence. Common areas targeted by liposuction are the tummy, the hips and thighs, the back, the lovehandles and the upper arms. Liposuction can also be used for sculpting the chin, the calves, the back, the knees and the upper arms.

There are several commonly practiced liposuction techniques, used individually or in combination. There is the tumescent liposuction technique, which entails pre-injecting fat with a sterile saline solution consisting of small amounts of adrenaline and a local anesthetic. Based on the fibrousness of the area to be treated—the back and the area above the belly button are considered highly fibrous—a Power Assisted Lipectomy may be used. This liposuction tends to yield a more even result. The Ulstrasonic Assisted Lipectomy is often used to treat the face. This liposuction helps with skin contraction, and consists of a two-step process; first sound waves are used to liquefy the fat, then it is suctioned out. The final common liposuction technique is Suction Assisted Lipectomy. Tiny incisions are made in the treatment area, optimally in existing contour creases or folds. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted into the underlying fat, which is vacuumed into a suction pump. Learn more about liposuction at Penn State's plastic surgery research site.

After you initial Beverly Hills liposuction consultation, during which you and your doctor discuss in depth your treatment options and your desired results, you will be assigned a pre-operative Beverly Hills liposuction coordinator. They will schedule all of your lab work and tests and thoroughly explain your preoperative instructions. Doctors often recommend that a patient donates 1-2 units of their own blood to a blood bank for use during the liposuction. This is not uncommon, and simply helps speed the patient’s recovery. Smokers are required to quit smoking two weeks prior to liposuction and not resume until two weeks after. Certain medications and herbal supplements may be prohibited for several weeks before and after liposuction. This is your chance to ask any final questions, about the procedure or about the recovery period.

It is necessary that you have a responsible adult accompany you to the hospital the day of your Beverly Hills liposuction. Time in liposuction varies drastically depending on the area(s) to be treated, but the nurse checking you in should be able to give you an accurate estimate. Your companion should be available by phone the entire time you are in liposuction and should also be at the hospital to pick you up. Additionally it is recommended that you have somebody responsible on-hand for a full 24 hours after liposuction.

After the liposuction is complete, you will be assigned a tight surgical garment. This has been individually tailored to help “set” your new body shape. During your initial recovery time, it can be removed for short durations in order to shower, but it is intended to be worn exclusively for the first 4-6 weeks after liposuction. This is very important. The garment is specially designed to provide essential support for your new shape; the displaced tissue and skin need a form to settle into. The other crucial post-operative instruction is that you keep all areas treated by liposuction free of wrinkles and creases. This means avoid sitting as much as possible—lie down or stand up straight. This is especially imperative after stomach liposuction. Wearing only recommended clothing also helps to avoid creating folds and wrinkles and will leave surgical areas the optimal texture.

Bruises on the treated areas are not uncommon and will disappear after the first two weeks after liposuction. Post-surgical pain and discomfort do vary greatly between patients. Some describe a “sore” feeling, like after a hard workout, while others have been prescribed additional medication after finding the liposuction recovery “very painful.” It is strongly advised that you keep surgical areas out of direct sun for at least 8 weeks after liposuction. Doctor visits should be scheduled for 5 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. Patients may notice mild weight gain in the first weeks following liposuction, but this is just healthy fluid replacement and should reverse itself after the first few months.

Your normal life should more or less resume 3-5 days after Beverly Hills liposuction but a week off from work is prescribed. It is usually recommended a patient wait 2 weeks before walking or beginning light workouts. Your doctor will inform you when it is safe to begin intense workouts or sports. After 2 weeks, you should begin to see a difference in your body shape. After three months, the swelling should disappear and you will notice improved definition and new contours in the surgical areas. Of course, it is still important to follow a healthy diet and exercise schedule after liposuction. Any significant weight gained subsequent to surgery tends to distribute itself in new, untreated areas.

One recent medical development of interest to prospective Beverly Hills liposuction candidates is stem cell banking. Fat tissue removed during liposuction contains healthy, extractable stem cells. The research is still very much underway, but scientists already hypothesize that, in the future, stem cells will be key in a range of new discoveries, from curing diseases to slowing aging. Many liposuction practitioners are partnering with stem cell banks. For a fee, they will store the extracted cells and have them ready for your immediate access. Ask your doctor if you are interested in this service.
