Elevate your confidence with liposuction

Men and women throughout the world struggle with weight loss. Plenty even find themselves in a position where it is necessary for their future health. However, losing weight can be a daunting feat, and furthermore, some areas of the body are unlikely to change with diet and exercise alone. These areas are frequently referred to as one’s “trouble spots.” This is where liposuction comes in. Dr. Andres offers liposuction to those of his patients who are looking to shed their weighty issues and feel good in their own skin.

About the procedure

Routinely, liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Andres uses IV sedation or general anesthesia, which is carefully delivered under the care of a board-certified anesthesiologist. There have been several improvements to liposuction, which has made fat removal far more accessible and overall much easier. These methods include vibration, ultrasound, and laser energy. Any routine liposuction surgery involves injecting a tumescent solution directly into the desired area of fat so as to numb the area and make the targeted fat more able to be removed. Dr. Andres will make a few tiny incisions in inconspicuous locations within discrete folds of skin, extending only a few millimeters in length. Through these incisions, Dr. Andres will be able to gently suction the unwanted fat out by employing what is called a cannula. This technique improves patient comfort, reduces bruising and swelling, and allows for better precision. Dr. Andres makes it his goal to deliver some of the best liposuction Scottsdale can provide.

Benefits of liposuction

People choose to have liposuction for different reasons. There are a number of benefits that liposuction can bring to one’s life. Listed below are merely a few:

A renewed sense of self-esteem
Removing any non-essential fats from one’s body
Sculpting out and redefining areas of one’s figure, such as the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, or even one’s face and neck
Enhance the results of coordinating procedures, like a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, breast reduction, brachioplasty, or even a facelift
Clothes will fit better
Utilizing one’s fat for other procedures--for example, using one’s unwanted thigh fat towards a natural breast augmentation or fat transfer procedures

During recovery

Once out of surgery, the treated areas are carefully wrapped in elastic compression bandages so as to minimize swelling and encourage proper healing. These bandages should be worn consistently for the first 4 to 6 weeks. After your liposuction surgery, for approximately 24 to 48 hours, the tumescent fluid helps provide pain relief. Cold compresses or oral pain medication can help with managing any pain, bruising, and swelling that you may experience. Generally, most patients feel able to go back to work and other day-to-day activities after a week or so. That being said, this timeline can fluctuate depending on the exact areas that are treated for liposuction, as well as the extent of fat removed. A feeling of numbness in the treated areas is completely normal and will diminish within a few weeks.
