Liposuction uses thin, well-placed incisions designed to limit visible scarring. However, scar development does sometimes occur and will vary based on the patient\u2019s natural healing abilities. If you do develop scarring, it will likely be minimal and hidden, and, as with most scars, it will fade over time.","name":"Will I have scarring after liposuction?

Many individuals opt for a combination of cosmetic surgery treatments to achieve their desired look, especially if you have poor skin elasticity or if you are experiencing drooping or sagging tissue in your treatment area. Popular combinations include liposuction with breast augmentation, Brazilian butt lift, breast lift, or breast reduction, or including liposuction as part of a mommy makeover which typically includes tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Combining these surgical procedures can provide more comprehensive results, allowing patients to address multiple concerns in one surgical session. Additionally, some people also incorporate med spa services for enhanced skin care or non-surgical treatments either before or after their main procedures.","name":"Can I combine liposuction with any other procedures?

Liposuction can be an effective tool to eliminate those last few inches. However, it is not a weight-loss procedure, and patients should be within 30 pounds of their goal weight. Weight-loss patients will also likely have folds of skin that will require additional correction in combination with liposuction.

Tumescent fluid is injected into the fat along the treatment area, which breaks up the fat cells for easier removal. A cannula is inserted into discreetly placed incisions, and vacuum suction removes the unwanted fat. Our surgeons can contour and shape the area to enhance the curves and definition of your body. The fine-grade cannula the doctor will use gives them great control in the amount and location of fat being extracted, ensuring you get optimal contouring and the results you want.","url":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/body-surgery\/liposuction\/","followup":"You will experience bruising and swelling in your treatment area; however, most patients return to work after one week of downtime and resume their regular exercise routine after four weeks. You will be required to wear a special compression garment for several weeks during their recovery to ensure the best results possible. The compression garment protects the treated area, mitigates discomfort and helps ensure you get the best possible results. The majority of swelling should subside within six weeks. Some pain and discomfort are natural after your procedure, especially during the first few days when swelling and bruising are most prevalent, and you will also feel tender in the treated areas. For your comfort, your doctor will usually prescribe a numbing solution or oral pain medicine to minimize this. Most discomfort only lasts several days, however. Overall, you can expect a contoured, slimmer appearance in the treated areas after your liposuction procedure.","description":"If you\u2019ve struggled to achieve the body shape and definition you desire, liposuction\u2014a procedure that has been safely performed for nearly 40 years\u2014can directly address stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise alone haven\u2019t improved.  Our liposuction surgeons in Palm Beach County, Florida, are highly experienced in this procedure, and their extensive training and background in liposuction surgery provide a deep understanding of the advanced techniques needed for successful fat removal. Dr. Lickstein and Dr. Forleiter are board certified plastic surgeons who have a compassionate and personalized approach to patient care, and are understanding of patients who are seeking liposuction due to health concerns or aesthetic reasons.","preparation":"When considering liposuction, it\u2019s essential to start with a detailed consultation with one of our qualified plastic surgeons to discuss your medical history, expectations, and the procedure itself. Prioritize maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and exercise, and if you smoke, cease the habit at least six weeks before surgery. It\u2019s crucial to avoid blood-thinners, including aspirin and certain supplements, two weeks pre-op, and ensure you stay well-hydrated. Make arrangements for someone to drive you home post-surgery and possibly assist you for the first 24 hours. Upon scheduling your surgery, our doctors will go over any questions you may have and also discuss your desired result as well as provide pre- and post-operative instructions. They will then tailor a treatment plan specifically to meet your aesthetic goals.","medicineSystem":"WesternConventional","procedureType":"PercutaneousProcedure","relevantSpecialty":"PlasticSurgery","name":"Liposuction","additionalType":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Liposuction","areaServed":[{"@type":"State","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Florida","name":"Florida","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jupiter,_Florida","name":"Jupiter ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jupiter,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palm_Beach_Gardens,_Florida","name":"Palm Beach Gardens ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Palm_Beach_Gardens,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port_St._Lucie,_Florida","name":"Port St. Lucie","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port_St._Lucie,_Florida"},{"@type":"City","url":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West_Palm_Beach,_Florida","name":"West Palm Beach ","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/West_Palm_Beach,_Florida"}],"@id":"https:\/\/www.licksteinplasticsurgery.com\/body-surgery\/liposuction\/"}
