When you notice areas of fat on your body that just do not want to go away, regardless of what you eat or how much you exercise, liposuction in Redmond could help. It is not unusual for both men and women to develop stubborn pockets of fat as they age.
Dr. George Min, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Newvue Medical, offers a wide range of body sculpting procedures that can help improve your appearance. Liposuction is a way to permanently remove persistent fat from many different areas of the body.
With careful liposuction, you can quickly rid your body of persistent fat. Liposuction is versatile and can be used in many areas of your body, including:
If you desire, Dr. Min can remove excess fat and use it to add volume to another area of your body, such as your breasts.
Liposuction in Redmond is not a form of weight loss. You need to be close to your desired weight before you have liposuction. While the procedure can make some stunning changes, removing too much fat at one time is not safe.
Liposuction does require anesthesia. Most patients do well with tumescent anesthesia, a form of local anesthetic, with mild sedation. Tumescent anesthesia uses the injection of sterile fluid that contains low concentrations of a local anesthetic and epinephrine into the areas to be worked on. The low concentrations are high enough to get numbing and local blood vessel constriction but low enough to allow for extensive use of the fluid on various parts of your body without risk of overdose. Patients like that the effects last into the early post-op period.
Dr. Min performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure, which means you go home the same day. Once home, you will need recovery time. Many patients take one to two weeks off work. Though the incisions are tiny, your body still needs time to heal. Depending on where the liposuction is performed on your body, you must observe movement limitations to obtain the best results. You may use a compression garment to help support tissues as they heal.
Like any other type of surgery, liposuction does have some risks, such as:
Dr. Min will take every precaution to reduce your risk of complications during liposuction in Redmond.
Liposuction delivers quick results. You will see changes immediately after surgery but may not see your full results for about three months.
Fat cells removed by liposuction cannot grow back, which means liposuction results are permanent. Only some fat cells are removed, so you must commit to a healthy lifestyle to keep your new figure. If you gain too much weight, your remaining fat cells can grow, and you may require another liposuction procedure to remove them.
Liposuction does not involve removing excess skin or tightening muscles. If Dr. Min feels that you will need help in those areas as well, he may suggest having liposuction in tandem with a lift procedure to give you the best results.
Liposuction can help create smooth contours by removing unwanted fat and revealing a more youthful appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Min will discuss your concerns and goals and help you create a personal treatment plan. With the help of liposuction and other cosmetic procedures and treatments, you can achieve your desired look. Contact our office today.
