MINIMAL LIPOSUCTION

Minimal Liposuction

Minimal Liposuction is for those patients who are looking to do minor shaping of stubborn areas. Generally their body mass index is within normal and they have a minor area of touchup that is needed.

Couture utilizes Vaser liposuction to give optimal fat removal and skin tightening for these minor adjustments. The results are stunning. Incisions are so small they do not require any stitches. Fat that is removed by liposuction does not come back. Liposuction is great for areas that are non responsive to exercise and diet.

 

FAQ

What are common areas treated by liposuction?
Common areas treated by liposuction are the abdomen, arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, hips flanks, thighs, knees, chin and male breasts.

Are the results permanent?
Fat that is removed by liposuction does not return as long as the patient does not gain a substantial amount of weight.

Who Is a good candidate?
The best candidates are those who have local deposits of fat. Liposuction is not a treatment for generalized obesity.

What type of anesthesia is used?
Tumescent liposuction relies totally on local anesthesia. The local anesthetic used for liposuction is very effective removing the need for IV sedation or general anesthesia.

What is my recovery like?
Recovery can vary greatly depending on the patient. However 3-7 days of recovery time is common. It is always better if a friend or loved one can be available during this time period.
