BEFORE & AFTER PHOTO GALLERY

The Procedure

  • Anesthesia for liposuction can vary from local anesthesia only to mild sedation to general anesthesia.
  • The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes.
  • The incisions are about 1/16th of an inch and under the chin and behind each earlobe.
  • The procedure involves placing a dilute (tumescent) lidocaine solution into the fatty areas for numbing effect. This advanced anesthetic technique virtually eliminates any pain during the procedure, post-operative pain, or bruising.
  • Small instruments connected to suction are then used to vacuum out the fat carefully and artistically.
  • No drains are used.
  • A light dressing and a gentle compression garment is recommended for two days but not mandatory.
  • In many cases, liposuction can be combined with a face lift for those who have excess skin or sagging on the lower face in addition to fat deposits.

The Recovery

  • Virtually immediate return to almost all activity without restriction. Some patients return to work the same day.
  • You can shower the next day.
  • There is only minimal discomfort and almost no pain. If present, it is easily controlled by medications.
  • Swelling is mild to moderate for the first week, and rapidly disappears thereafter.
  • No grogginess or loss of energy is experienced.
  • Makeup can be applied as early as the next day.
  • The stitches are removed at three days.

The Result
