Liposuction has the unique ability to remove the unwanted subcutaneous fat you specify carefully without adversely affecting other areas
How to create a leaner body contour with more muscular definition
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that eliminates unwanted subcutaneous fat on your face, neck and body.
Liposuction reduces fat cell count through suction as well as controlled cellular damage. This damage is caused by moving the cannula within the fat deposits, breaking them up. The fat is then removed while some is absorbed back into the body over six to twelve weeks following surgery. Patients should expect to wait for several weeks before the full benefits of their treatment become apparent for this reason.
The benefits of liposuction, also known as lipoplasty and liposculpture, are numerous
- Recontour your neck.
- Reduce upper arm fat.
- Reduce bulging in your mid-section.
- Smooth down bulges in your back.
- Give your waist more definition.
- Slim down your thighs.
- Redefine your calves and ankles.

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION??
Candidates who should consider liposuction are men and women who have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise regimens. The most common spots for these fat deposits are on the arms, abdomen, thighs, love handles, back, and the neck. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and the best candidates should be in a relatively healthy and fit state, near their ideal body weight.
There are other physical traits that ensure a patient will achieve the best possible results. A good candidate for liposuction has elastic and fairly firm skin that will be able to shrink and regain its shape after fat tissue is removed.
SSkin loses elasticity with age, and with pregnancy, and may not be able to adjust to a new, slimmer contour after liposuction. However, patients of any age whose skin is still fairly elastic can achieve good results with liposuction.
IMPORTANT ISSUES TO CONSIDER
Many people who are overweight have both subcutaneous and visceral fat, which is fat that is inside the body and around the organs. Only a healthier diet and exercise can diminish visceral fat. Liposuction cannot achieve significant weight loss or make patients healthier.
You will notice some changes to your body’s contour immediately after the liposuction procedure; however, the complete results may take up to six months to become final. This is because the liposuction procedure breaks up and removes some fat, while your body absorbs the rest of the broken fat cells over the weeks following the procedure.
Pregnancy and childbirth are completely safe after having liposuction. However, your body will undergo many physical changes during pregnancy, and regaining or staying close to your stable weight afterwards offers the best chance for maintaining the results of your liposuction treatment.
LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE DETAILS
At Edelstein Cosmetic, we offer two types of liposuction: tumescent liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction. These liposuction techniques do require local or general anaesthesia depending on the size of the area to be treated and will be discussed with you at the consultation.
With our advanced surgical techniques, there is less blood loss, less unwanted or unintentional tissue damage, and larger areas may be treated than ever before.
During a tumescent liposuction procedure, the doctor first injects a mixture of fluids that work as a local anaesthetic and that prepare the area to be treated. The mixture includes sterile salt water which helps with removing fat, as well a long-acting anaesthetic and epinephrine. Epinephrine constricts blood vessels to reduce blood loss and bruising.
On the other hand, ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasonic waves to treat patients. Applying these waves to an area of the body breaks up the fat cells, allowing targeted fatty tissue to be suctioned from the patient’s body using a small tube. This kind of liposuction is ideal for areas where fat is difficult to remove, such as on the back, love handles, or the male chest area. Ultrasonic liposuction is also appropriate to use on areas that have already undergone liposuction surgery, and is a safe and effective alternative to tumescent liposuction.
RECOVERY AFTER LIPOSUCTION
After your liposuction treatment, you will be wearing a compression garment for six weeks. For the first three weeks, you wear the garment day and night (you can take it off to shower); for the next three weeks (weeks 3 to 6), you only wear the garment during the day. You will not be able to return immediately to your busy schedule. However, following post-operative care instructions from your doctor can help speed up recovery and avoid complications, so you can get back to your life faster.
Firstly, it is recommended that you take the time to heal. It is generally recommended that you take one week off work and avoid physical activity for at least two weeks. Taking your medication as prescribed will help control pain and allow you to return to mild aerobic exercise such as walking within seven days.
Finally, following your doctor’s instructions closely will enable you to heal quicker and begin to see optimal results forming within a few weeks following liposuction treatment. You can expect the results to keep improving over time for a few months after the procedure, as your body absorbs remaining fat cells and settles into its new and improved contour.
