What Does Liposuction Entail?

PROCEDURE

There are many safe and effective liposuction methods available. Dr. Taylor pre-treats the involved areas using the time-tested tumescent technique, which involves the injection of a tumescent fluid before fat removal. The tumescent solution helps break up the fat, making it easier to be suctioned out, shrinking blood vessels so there is less bruising, and numbing the area for pain relief. The next step involves the actual fat removal using a variety of techniques such as power-assisted technique or ultrasound-assisted technique. It really doesn’t matter what technique is used as long as the surgeon has experience and confidence in their preferred technique. In other words, it is not the technique that removes the fat, but rather it is the surgeon and his expertise that removes the fat. Dr. Taylor has been performing liposuction and body contouring for over 20 years and has a wealth of experience in all the newest cutting edge technologies.

RECOVERY

A compression garment or elastic bandage is placed over the treatment area to help with swelling and bruising. This will be worn for several weeks and fits inconspicously under any clothes you may wear. Dr. Taylor will provide the patient with specific instructions on incision care.

Most patients will experience some pain and discomfort that should subside in a few days. The feeling is less surgical and more like a bad bruise. Most patients return to work within a few days. It is recommended that patients rest for the first few days. Bending, lifting, and any strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 10 days. Patients will experience swelling for a few weeks or, in some cases, a few months.

SCARS

By using the tumescent liposuction method, Dr. Taylor can keep the incisions small and discreet. Patients may have some scarring; however, depending on their degree of healing, incisions should fade and become unnoticeable.

COST

The cost of liposuction in Los Angeles can vary depending on the areas being targeted, the surgical plan, the surgeon’s experience, and the geographic office location. Additional cost factors include hospital fees, anesthesia fees, or any other related expenses. Dr. Taylor is an experienced Los Angeles liposuction surgeon who has been performing plastic surgery for more than 20 years. He has a passion for his craft and performs liposuction with precision and skill.

PAIN

Patients may experience some pain or discomfort due to post-surgical swelling and bruising. During surgery, a general anesthetic and intravenous sedation are used to provide patients with optimal comfort. During the recovery process, prescription medications can be taken orally to provide pain management. By utilizing the latest liposuction techniques, Dr. Taylor can perform liposuction surgery involving less pain and discomfort in comparison to traditional methods.
