Liposuction

Liposuction has become one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery today.

During liposuction, a surgeon removes fat in areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. Common areas treated include the hips, thighs, abdomen, knees, ankles, face, and neck. Liposuction is most successful in people with good skin tone who have localized problem areas. It is not a treatment for obesity.

To maintain the safety of the procedure, there is a limit on how much can be done at one time.

The time required to perform liposuction varies depending on a number of factors including the size of the area, the amount of fat being removed, and the type of anesthesia.

Lipo 360 is a circumferential approach to contouring the abdomen and back. 

Though many patients focus their goals on one aspect of the torso, such as the abdomen, treating the entire circumference of the torso can create a more balanced contour, better proportions, and more definition of the waist than a more limited approach.  In lipo 360, the abdomen, love handles (the “hips”), and the bra fat (the “flanks”) are all treated.

When considering treatment of the abdomen, patients with skin or muscle laxity are frequently better addressed with a similar 360 degree treatment plan that involves an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposuction of the hips and flanks. Because each patient’s treatment plan is customized, Dr. Peters typically refers to a 360 degree treatment plan in terms of the precise areas that are being targeted to achieve that person’s best results.

The procedure is done through several, less than 1 cm incisions and is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Following the procedure, the patient is fitted with a snug elastic garment to minimize the bruising and swelling and provide support while healing.

Most people describe the discomfort associated with the procedure as a soreness similar to a bad bruise and take about a week off work.

Results are visible immediately, although they will also improve as the swelling subsides. Most of the swelling dissipates within the first month, although there is a small amount of swelling up to 6 months following surgery.
