Is Liposuction For You?
Fat removal surgery is a terrific treatment for both women and men who are at an ideal weight, but have troublesome areas of fat that are difficult to rid with even the most healthy lifestyle. Those interested in liposuction should have healthy skin because liposuction is not a treatment for stretched-out skin. It’s also important to know that liposuction is not a solution for weight loss. Females undergoing liposuction should have no plans to become pregnant again as this may compromise the lasting outcome. At the time of your consult for surgery, Dr. Dauwe will set realistic expectations.
Liposuction Surgical Technique
This treatment is completed in an outpatient setting using general anesthesia. A 2-millimeter incision is placed through the skin so a cannula can be inserted. The cannula is a special tool that makes it easier to work loose the fatty tissue that is being removed. After the fat deposits are removed, Dr. Phillip Dauwe will seal the small incision. Based on the number of areas being treated, your procedure may take several hours. In the separate area for recovery, your post-op nurse will assist you with managing any discomfort and look after your treated areas until you are discharged.
“I recently underwent a liposuction and a thigh lift surgery. The surgeon - Dr Dauwe was absolutely superb. Before the surgery, he discussed in detail as I had a lot of questions. He met with me 3-4 times and explained the procedure, benefits, recovery time and so on. He is very conservative and would not perform procedures if they did not achieve the results and/or if it was not needed. ”
“Dr. Dauwe is an amazingly talented, trustworthy and caring surgeon. He performed liposuction and a thigh lift on me a year and a half ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend him to my friends and everyone I meet!! ”
What to Expect with Liposuction Procedures
You may need to stay at home for recovery from liposuction surgery for several weeks based on the number of sections treated and the amount of fat removed. It’s typical to have bruising and swelling for one or two weeks, and you should have stitches taken out 7 days after surgery. The most important thing to do following any surgery is to give your body time to heal and recover. When you decide to go back to your job after your surgery, you should remember to minimize stress and strenuous activity. To increase your strength and stamina, try walking and light workouts as recommended by Dr. Dauwe. Remember, you may notice some improvements soon after your surgery, but it will take around 6 months until your new body contour and shape is complete.
