THE LOWDOWN ON LIPOSUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT

So, you’re thinking about liposuction? You’ve walked past the Plastic Surgery Institute office in Beverly Hills, and have read about the positive results people have had. But what should you expect? It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous about having any sort of procedure done, and it’s always best to be completely informed so you can feel comfortable before you schedule an appointment. You’re fully aware of the fantastic results liposuction, but what happens during the procedure itself?

The most exciting news about liposuction is that the procedure can be completed in a matter of hours. Doctors focus on a specific area and insert a hollow valve and gently move it back and forth. This liposuction process sucks out fatty tissue and fat cells. Once all the unwanted fat is removed, the doctor will reshape the area before stitching up the incision.

Can it be that simple? It really is. What’s also simple is the recuperation most people experience after the procedure. Based on the types and amounts of anesthesia given, some people will be up and walking right away after liposuction. Some people even might get back to work in just a couple of days.

Of course, there is healing to be done. Dr. Ordon and Dr. Chopra remind their Beverly Hills liposuction patients to expect the incision area to be sore, swollen and tender. Even still, you can see results of a liposuction shortly after surgical procedure. As for the swelling, it can take a couple of weeks to a month before all the noticeable spots decline.

When it’s all said and done, patients usually find the liposuction process to be quick, easy, and with little recovery time. And in the end, you wind up feeling great about body…a body that, with exercise and maintaining the right eating habits, will remain just the way you want it to!
