Reasons for Considering Liposuction:
Liposuction: What Is It?
Liposuction is not a replacement for proper exercise and diet. Instead, liposuction is a reduction procedure for stubborn areas where fat accumulates. Used in combination on several areas of the body, liposuction can provide a well-proportioned body appearance. Ideal liposuction Seattle candidates are individuals who are already in good physical condition but have stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Liposuction in Seattle / Bellevue
Liposuction can be done under general anesthesia
with the patient asleep or under local anesthesia where the area is
numbed and the patient remains awake. Through a tiny incision, a
narrow tube or “cannula” is inserted and used to vacuum out the fatty
tissue beneath the skin. The surgeon determines the amount of fat to
be removed by massaging the skin and squeezing the tissue. After
eliminating the excess fat, the incisions are closed by applying a
compression dressing or bandage to the area in order to prevent
bleeding, reduce swelling, and support the affected area.
There are several different types of liposuction
procedures, such as tumescent or ultrasound liposuction, that have
developed as a result of recent advancements in new technologies.
Together the patient and the surgeon can discuss which method(s) are
best during the initial consultation visit. Liposuction can last from
thirty minutes to several hours depending upon the amount of fat to be
removed. Liposuction surgery is an excellent procedure that can
benefit those who want to remove unattractive fatty deposits.
Recovery Process
New techniques allow for faster recovery from liposuction procedures. The length of the recovery will depend on how extensive an operation the patient undergoes. Generally, Dr. Precht recommends that her cosmetic surgery Seattle patients get plenty of rest and limit movement in order to speed up the healing process. A support garment may need to be worn for several weeks after the surgery, depending upon which area(s) are selected to receive the liposuction procedure. Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with surgery, which can be treated effectively with oral medication. While complications are rare, Seattle liposuction patients can minimize the risk of potential problems by carefully following the directions given to them after surgery.
