Is Liposuction Painful?

The liposuction procedure itself is pain-free as it is performed under anesthesia. Post-surgery, you can expect to experience some discomfort and swelling. Liposuction is not particularly painful, and pain medication will make you comfortable. You should take it easy for the first few days and use the compression garment.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments you will need for liposuction will depend on the complexity of your case. Your surgeon will want you to return to monitor your progress. Depending on your progress, they will make your next appointment.

How Long Until I See Results?

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. To maintain the results of your liposuction treatment, you must take care of yourself and continue to balance a healthy diet and exercise to stay at a stable weight. With this consistent post-operative care, you can expect to enjoy good results from your procedure. Watching your diet during the first four months after surgery is most important. During this time, the areas that were liposuctioned are healing and are very metabolically active – the cells are “hungry.” If you overeat during the first four months, the fat will go back to the treated areas. Keep in mind you don’t need to be on a diet during this time; just don’t overeat. Patients can get pregnant and give birth safely after a successful liposuction procedure. However, the body will undergo many physical changes during pregnancy. Regaining or staying close to your stable weight afterward offers the best chance for maintaining the results of your liposuction surgery.

What Will the Scarring Look Like?

At Edelstein Cosmetic, our surgeons use advanced techniques and tools to make small incisions to minimize tissue damage during surgery. Our goal is to minimize scarring as much as possible so that it will be difficult to see once your body is fully healed. Incision lines can take several months up to a year to fade.

When Can I Exercise Again After My Liposuction?

We advise rest and relaxation immediately after your liposuction surgery. As long as your surgeon has cleared you, most patients can start returning to their pre-surgery routines at three weeks.

Can I Combine Liposuction with Other Procedures?

If other areas of your body need surgical cosmetic treatment, you may choose to undergo a complementary procedure at the same time. A complementary procedure may enable you to achieve an enhanced result that addresses more than one concern at the same time, so you won’t have to undergo the experience of two separate surgical procedures and their related recovery periods. However, you can also schedule them at separate times if you are more comfortable doing so. Please consult your surgeon with questions regarding additional surgical or non-surgical procedures and treatments. At Edelstein Cosmetic, your health and safety is the most important thing.

What Are the Risks Associated with Liposuction?

Liposuction is associated with the following risks and complications: Skin irregularities Asymmetry Temporary numbness in the affected area Seromas (fluid buildup) Infection

Liposuction Introduction

Although exercise and a healthy diet are crucial in minimizing fat development, stubborn fat cells often can’t be eliminated by simply eating better and working out more. Liposuction has the unique ability to remove unwanted fat. Liposuction may be your most effective solution to create a smoother, leaner, and more visually appealing contour if your concern is bulging fat on your stomach or thighs. Our expert teams of surgeons provide liposuction for patients in and traveling to Toronto to remove those unwanted, pesky fat cells permanently. We look forward to sculpting the body of your dreams and producing more self-confidence along the way.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction (sometimes called suction-assisted lipectomy, fat suction, blunt suction lipectomy, liposculpture, or lipoplasty) is a surgical technique that removes localized collections of subcutaneous adipose tissue (fatty tissue) that lie just underneath the skin from a patient’s body, such as the neck and body.

Liposuction emerges as the savvy solution for achieving that coveted silhouette when diet and exercise hit a plateau. However, let’s be clear: it’s no magic bullet for obesity, cellulite, or a stand-in for healthy habits. It is best suited for those with a bit of extra padding within a healthy weight range. Liposuction can then offer a smart, tailored approach to refining body aesthetics.

What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?

Patients have sought out Edelstein Cosmetic for the following benefits of a liposuction surgery:

Recontouring the neck
Reducing upper arm fat
Reducing bulging in the mid-section
Smoothing down back bulges
Defining the waist
Slimming thighs
Redefining calves and ankles

Who Are the Best Candidates for Liposuction?

The best candidates for liposuction at Edelstein Cosmetic are patients who are in or willing to travel to Toronto, ON. These patients typically request liposuction due to stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise regimens. These fat deposits can occur in the following areas:

Arms
Abdomen
Thighs
Love handles
Back
Neck

Please note that liposuction is NOT a weight loss procedure. The best candidates should be relatively healthy and fit, as close as possible to their ideal body weight. Candidates should also have elastic and fairly firm skin that will be able to regain its shape after fat tissue is removed.

Patients with stable weights can achieve the best results with liposuction, but those with unstable or fluctuating weights may not. Many overweight people have visceral, interior fat that liposuction cannot target. Liposuction works to remove only fat that is directly under the skin, i.e., subcutaneous fat.

Advanced Types of Liposuction We Also Offer

High Definition Liposuction / Abdominal Etching

High-definition (HD) liposuction is a cosmetic body-sculpting procedure that helps tone and shape your physique. This treatment can permanently remove stubborn fat while simultaneously creating a more defined, athletic look by enhancing your muscle contours.

This cutting-edge technique goes beyond traditional liposuction, targeting specific fat deposits to highlight your muscle structure. Using advanced technologies like Vaser ultrasound, power-assisted liposuction, and skin-tightening devices, HD lipo melts away fat with precision. The result is smoother, firmer skin and a body that showcases curves and muscle with stunning definition.

Lipo 360

Lipo 360 is an advanced liposuction technique that precisely sculpts the midsection by targeting the abdomen, flanks, and lower back to remove stubborn fat.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions and utilizes a thin cannula to gently suction out excess fat from multiple areas around the torso, creating a comprehensive 360-degree contour. This method allows for detailed sculpting, ensuring a smoother and more balanced silhouette. The surgeon tailors the approach to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, enhancing the body’s natural curves while achieving a refined appearance.

Lipo 360 focuses on fat removal and emphasizes achieving a harmonious proportion in the midsection, providing a dramatic yet natural-looking transformation.

Chin Liposuction

Chin liposuction, or submental liposuction, is a procedure designed to remove excess fat beneath the chin and along the jawline for a more defined facial profile.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision under the chin and uses a thin cannula to suction out the excess fat. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise fat removal while minimizing visible scarring.

Chin liposuction enhances jawline definition and improves facial harmony, providing a more sculpted appearance. It’s an effective solution for individuals struggling with a double chin or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.

LiposuctionFirst Step

What’s the first step?

Please schedule a surgical consultation with Edelstein Cosmetic in Toronto, ON, where you will receive the following:

An initial consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, not a “patient consultant,” during which you will be able to get the medically sound, trustworthy advice of an expert liposuction surgeon who has performed surgery on thousands of patients from around the world, as well as celebrities and socialites.
A customized solution to your aesthetic concern, tailored to achieve your unique desires.
You have the choice of tumescent liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, or ultrasonic-assisted liposuction. Both techniques have their merits, and the right one for you will be determined at the time of your consultation.

Once you and your surgeon agree on the direction of your surgery, your procedure plan will be created, and our Patient Coordinator will discuss surgical dates with you. We will then provide you with a list of instructions to follow to help make your surgery as successful and safe as possible.

What to Expect on the Day of Liposuction Surgery

At Edelstein Cosmetic, we offer three types of liposuction: tumescent liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, and ultrasonic liposuction. Depending on the size of the area to be treated, these techniques require local or general anesthesia, which 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, your surgeon will first inject a mixture of fluids that work as a local anesthetic and prepare the area for treatment. The mixture includes sterile salt water, which helps with removing fat, a long-acting anesthetic, and epinephrine to constrict blood vessels to reduce blood loss and bruising.

Once the treatment area is prepared, your surgeon will make small incisions in the skin and use a small cannula (tube) to suction out the fat and fluid mixture. This advanced liposuction technique can significantly reduce bleeding and bruising.

Often, power-assisted liposuction is used at the same time. With this technique, the cannula (tube) vibrates at a high frequency, helping to break up the fat cells. Fat is removed more efficiently as the surgeon does not need to move the cannula back and forth aggressively. As a result, there is less tissue trauma, bleeding, and bruising.

Ultrasonic liposuction, on the other hand, 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 cannula. 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 for areas that have already undergone liposuction surgery and is a safe and effective alternative to tumescent liposuction.

Liposuction Recovery

Liposuction reduces fat cell count through suction and controlled cellular damage. This damage is caused by moving the cannula within the fat deposits, breaking them up. The fat is then removed with suction, while some is absorbed back into the body over six to twelve weeks following surgery. Patients should expect to wait for three to six months before the full benefits of their treatment become apparent.

After your liposuction treatment, you will wear 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. Most patients need one week off work, while those with physical jobs may require two weeks.

Following post-operative care instructions from your doctor can help speed up recovery and avoid complications, allowing you to get back to your life faster.
