Suction-Assisted Lipectomy (Liposuction) & Liposculpting

Common Risks

Complications are rare, but may include bleeding, prolonged bruising, blood clots, infection, waviness, skin depressions, discoloration, and numbness. Over time many plastic surgeons have learned to take a conservative approach when indicated toward liposuction. By aiming for very specific reduction in a properly selected patient, risks are minimized, significant rippling can be avoided, and satisfactory results achieved. Temporary collections of fluid beneath the skin surface are more common. These are transient and do not require additional treatment. This procedure is one of the most popular aesthetic operation performed today by qualified plastic surgeons.

A NOTE ON SATISFACTION AND DISSATISFACTION

It is important that you work with the doctor to establish realistic appearance goals. Realize that the greater the volume of fat to be removed, the more likely one surgery will not give you the result you desire. More than seventy items contribute to a surgical result. With aesthetic surgery, good results are nearly always achieved. When you are willing to reserve final judgment for a period of six months to a year, our results are usually excellent.

Beautiful paintings and sculptures by world-renowned artists always have small imperfections, but these are rarely scrutinized. Instead, one sees the overall beauty and mastery of the art. In order to remain natural looking, cosmetic surgery will result in small imperfections when closely scrutinized. To avoid these, the doctor would have to use techniques such as over suctioning, possibly resulting in dimpling. Instead, we utilize an artistic approach while maintaining your safety. We strive for a youthful, yet natural look — the mark of an artist.
