One of the most popular surgical procedures we perform is liposuction in Arlington Heights, IL. Continue reading to find out how this procedure can help you get the body of your dreams.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from select areas of the body. It’s most often applied to the abdominal region to help flatten the stomach. Liposuction is also known as lipoplasty. There are various methods that have been developed to enhance procedure results and shorten recovery time.

Liposuction is performed with a special suctioning tool that removes unwanted fat cells. It’s not a substitute for traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise. However, it is highly effective at eliminating stubborn fat from the body when traditional methods don’t work.

What Are Some Benefits of Liposuction?

There are many benefits to undergoing liposuction surgery. The most notable benefit is that it permanently removes unwanted fat that doesn’t respond to normal diet and exercise. Some other benefits include:

  • Can Increase Confidence and Mobility
  • Permanently Removes Fat Cells
  • Long-Lasting Results (when maintained with proper diet and exercise)
  • A Popular and Trusted Procedure
  • Eliminates Stubborn Fat in Areas All Across the Body

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. If you’re struggling to shed stubborn fat on select areas of your body, liposuction might be the right treatment for you.

Where Can Liposuction Be Applied?

Fat is everywhere on the body, and depending on your genetics, you might hold onto it in certain places. Many men and women have trouble getting rid of excess fat around their abdomen. While others struggle with it in different areas, like the arms and thighs.

Liposuction, lipo-sculpture, and body contouring procedures offer highly personalized results for fat removal. These procedures can be performed on many different regions of the body, including the following:

  • Abdomen
  • Buttocks
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Arms
  • Back
  • Ankles
  • Neck
  • And More

Best Candidates for Liposuction

Good candidates for liposuction surgery have already lost weight through diet and exercise and are near their goal weight. They likely have specific areas of the body holding onto fat they just can’t seem to shed. This is where liposuction can help.

Procedure candidates should also be done having children and breastfeeding, as this can reverse the results of surgery. Finally, it’s important that patients be in good general health and do not smoke.

The Procedure Process

Because there are so many different liposuction procedure techniques, surgical methods can vary. However, they all involve using a suctioning tool for permanent fat removal.

At the start of your procedure, you’ll receive general anesthesia. Then, your surgeon will make small incisions in the treatment area where they will insert what is called a cannula. Local anesthesia is diluted and injected to reduce trauma and bleeding before fat is loosened with the cannula. Once the fat is separated from nearby tissues, it’s suctioned out with a syringe or special suctioning device.

The Recovery Process

The recovery process after liposuction depends on the amount of fat removed, the size of the treatment area, and the surgical technique. This means no one patient’s recovery is identical to another’s.

Drainage tubes may need to be placed to aid in the healing process. These will be removed within 7-10 days after your surgery. Additionally, you’ll need to wear compression garments for anywhere from 2-6 weeks as your body recovers.

Most patients recover from liposuction within 3-6 months. It’s normal to experience bruising, numbness, swelling, bleeding, and pain in the treatment area immediately after surgery. The bruising can last 4-5 weeks, while swelling may last up to 6 weeks.

Many patients go back to work within the first week after surgery. However, it’s important to avoid light and strenuous activity for 1-3 weeks. Depending on your job, this may mean you need to wait 3 weeks before returning to work.

The Results of Liposuction

After liposuction, your results should last a lifetime. However, it’s important to maintain your weight with good diet and exercise. Weight fluctuations, injuries, pregnancy, breastfeeding, etc. can all impact the final results of liposuction surgery.

When Will I See Results After My Liposuction Surgery?

The final results of liposuction aren’t usually visible until about 3 months after surgery. However, you should start to see the initial results in 4-6 weeks, after the swelling subsides.

Patients who undergo liposuction surgery often opt for additional procedures to enhance their results. For example, liposuction is commonly paired with tummy tuck surgery in order to get rid of the excess skin that remains after fat removal. Mommy makeovers are custom treatment plans that also commonly include liposuction.
