Liposuction Guide

Liposuction is great from several different points of view: it is efficient and the results are visible right away. During the procedure, the Yreka CA doctor will use a cannula that is inserted under the skin and will suck out all the fat, thus allowing the doctor to target specific fat deposits.

In addition to the classic liposuction as we all know it, patients can also opt for an ultrasound liposuction which is usually less painful as it involves melting the fat rather than just removing it in an invasive manner. Liposuction generally targets several different parts of the body, from the arms to the sides, the upper abdomen, buttocks and basically any other area where there is a bothersome fat deposit.

A Deeper Insight Into Liposuction

Liposuction is a low-risk procedure and the Yreka CA patient is usually allowed to go home several hours following the procedure: despite the fact that classic liposuction involves local anesthesia, when removing larger amounts of fat the patient may need to go under deep sedation or general anesthesia.

After the treatment, the patient will feel some pain and will notice bruising and swelling – the doctor will instruct him on the post-operative medical care procedures, and will give you a compression garment to wear around the body part that was treated. Most doctors prescribe some antibiotics to prevent infections after the liposuction.

Liposuction should not be regarded as a weight loss procedure, as this targets exclusively the fat deposits on neck, back, legs, face etc. Facelifts or tummy tucks are commonly used in combination with liposuction, as these procedures come in handy for tightening the skin.

Although liposuction has numerous benefits, the patient needs to be aware that all the fat may bounce back when gaining extra weight. The patient will see notable improvements right away, although it may take several weeks or even months for all the swelling to go away.

Just like any other cosmetic procedure, liposuction does have some risks and benefits: the higher the area that is about to be treated, the higher the risk. Bruising, small scars, numbness, irritation or swelling are some of the most commonly experienced side effects. However, there are some serious side effects that should not be ignored either, such as uneven skin surface or nerve damage.
