Liposuction is a procedure designed to remove stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. This procedure is used to slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportions. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for a proper diet and exercise. It’s also not an effective treatment for cellulite or loose and saggy skin. The best candidates for this surgery are men and women who are in good physical condition. They must have good skin elasticity and are dissatisfied with certain stubborn areas that can’t be spot reduced with exercise or diet.
During your consultation, Dr. Mirrafati will discuss your personal goals and will do a full examination. An action plan focusing on target areas will be discussed and agreed on. A complete medical history and a careful examination will be performed including bloodwork to determine the general health of the patient. During the consultation photographs will be taken to compare the before and after and evaluate the outcome.
Prior to the surgery Dr. Mirrafati will discuss the procedure, realistic expectations, the type of anesthesia that will be used and the possible risks of surgery. Preoperative instructions generally include taking certain vitamins and the elimination of certain drugs such as birth control pills to minimize the possibility of excess bleeding. Furthermore, antibiotics may be prescribed for the days prior to surgery in order to prevent infection.
Liposuction is generally performed at our outpatient surgical facility under general anesthesia or IV sedation. After the surgery the patient is usually allowed to go home. A surgical dressing is placed to protect the incisions. Oral medications will be prescribed to reduce the risk of infection. Healing is gradual and although light activity can be resumed shortly after, routine exercising and vigorous activity should be avoided until specified by the doctor.
With any surgical procedure risk including bleeding and infection can occur. At Mira Aesthetic Medical Center we will inform you of the potential risks and advice you to adhere to doctors orders. The decision to have plastic surgery is extremely personal and only you can weight the potential risks and benefits of surgery.
