Liposuction in Sydney- A/Prof Damian Marucci
Achieving the Shape You Desire–Liposuction Procedures with Dr. Marucci in Sydney and Kogarah
Liposuction provides the opportunity for patients who seek fat loss and body contouring in targeted areas to undergo a relatively non-invasive procedure to remove unwanted fat and tissue between the skin and muscle wall. Liposuction works well on its own to address specific areas, and also tandems successfully with other cosmetic procedures to remove unwanted and displaced fat.
Common areas for liposuction include areas where fat naturally gathers or pools in the otherwise fit such as the tops of the thighs, around the stomach, persistent love handles, upper arms, buttocks, and even the face and neck. Work with a plastic surgeon like A/Prof Damian Marucci in Sydney to discuss your fat reduction objectives to determine what liposuction procedures suit your desired result.
Good candidates for liposuction possess good skin tone and present good health. Liposuction on its own serves to remove small amounts of fatty deposits, so the procedure produces the best results in patients who maintain an optimal weight over a period of time. Overweight candidates or those who have recently experienced dramatic weight loss due to lifestyle changes or giving birth run the risk of increased skin pooching, sagging, or loosening post-surgery. Candidates with loosened skin from weight loss might benefit from additional surgery to remove excess skin flaps to create the smooth body contour they desire.
Several different liposuction procedures are available depending on the patient’s desired results. For instance, Tumescent Liposuction is done with the aid of a local anesthetic. Patients remain awake for the procedure. The anesthetic numbs the area where the tube inserts. After the tube is in the specified area you receive a larger injection of anesthetic containing epinephrine and lidocaine.This solution is injected directly into the fatty tissue. Ultra-sound Assisted Liposuction is primarily used to remove fat out of the midsection including the abdomen, sides and back. The procedure utilizes ultra-sound waves to dissolve fat into liquid which ultimately makes the fatty tissue easier to remove.
All liposuction procedures serve to break down and suction out unwanted fat in targeted areas of the body to create a more streamlined figure. Patients might even benefit from from redistributing fat and tissue removed from one area of the body to fill out and contour another area of the body to produce beautiful results. Patients should work with their cosmetic surgeon to choose the appropriate combination of procedures to achieve their ideal body.
No surgical procedure comes without risks, however liposuction offers a relatively light healing period compared to other cosmetic procedures. Consult with your plastic surgeon regarding the possible side effects of liposuction or any other cosmetic procedure prior to scheduling a surgical appointment. A doctor like Dr. Marucci can assess your health risk factors and help build honest expectations for results and recovery.
Once the liposuction procedure is finished, patients enter a period of recovery. Immediately following the surgery the area treated will be wrapped firmly in order to reduce any swelling, pain or bruising. Depending on body part patients are often required to wear a compression garment to help encourage circulation, reduce swelling, and encourage healing. A patient may wear a compression garment for up to 4 weeks. Bruising and swelling may be present for up to 10 days post-surgery. Patients sometimes experience drainage during the first days of recovery. Consult your doctor if bruising or pain seems abnormal or lasts longer than expected.
Fortunately once anesthesia wears off, liposuction patients enjoy complete mobility. Many patients return to a fully active lifestyle within a matter of days after the procedure; though sometimes the complete healing process takes a few weeks time.
Liposuction provides the opportunity for patients to work with a surgeon to sculpt their ideal body by removing unwanted bumps and ripples. Liposuction patients find restored confidence when trying on close and hitting the beach.
