Liposuction: What Is It?

When it comes to weight loss, liposuction isn't a replacement for a healthy diet or regular exercise. However, liposuction is an effective solution for those seeking to remove stubborn deposits of fat that are not burned away through natural means. The liposuction procedure can provide patients with well-proportioned body contours when applied to several areas of the body. Ideal liposuction Seattle candidates include individuals who are in decent physical condition but are seeking to eliminate stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.

Liposuction in Seattle / Bellevue

A patient can receive liposuction while asleep under general anesthesia or while awake under local anesthesia, in which the area is numbed. During the procedure, a small incision is made and a narrow tube (called a cannula) is inserted into the area and used to vacuum out the fat deposits under the skin. The liposuction Seattle surgeon determines the amount of fat that will be removed by massaging the skin and tissue in the area. The incisions are closed once the excess fat is eliminated by applying a compression bandage to the area. The compression bandage helps prevent bleeding and reduce swelling in the affected area.

There are numerous kinds of liposuction procedures offered at Dr. Precht's premier Seattle liposuction facility, including tumescent and ultrasound liposuction. During the initial consultation, the patient and Dr. Precht will determine which liposuction procedure is best suited for their needs. Liposuction can last from thirty minutes to several hours depending upon the amount of fat that needs to be removed.

Recovery Process

New techniques help patients recover faster following liposuction procedures. The length of the recovery will depend on the extent of a patient's operation. 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 following the surgery, depending upon which area received surgical treatment. 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 post-operative directions given to them by Dr. Precht.
