Liposuction Surgery Overview
If you are thinking about liposuction, than you are not alone. Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic procedure on the market. Following Dr. Faires's advice, coupled with realistic expectations, equals great results. Think of liposuction more as a spot remover.

If you want a layer of fat removed from your entire body, than really and truly the best remedy is diet and exercise. That said, liposuction can be a rewarding option for the right patient.

Information About Liposuction Plastic Surgery
During liposuction, general anesthesia will be used.
During the liposuction procedure, Dr. Faires inserts the cannula (the tube that removes that fat) into the skin via small incisions. The cannula sucks out the layer of fat in the trouble area. When done, Dr. Faires will move onto the next area for treatment.
Limitations to the Liposuction Procedure
Although very rare, there are some risks associated with liposuction. Risks are more often associated with operations in which a larger amount of fat is being removed. Complications can include infection, blood clot formation or fat clot formation, fluid loss, damage to skin, and burning.
Recovery from liposuction Cosmetic Surgery
As soon as possible post-surgery, Dr. Faires will probably want you to move around to increase circulation. Your stitches will be removed after about 10 days. After three weeks, most of the swelling should subside, however some may last for up to six months. After a month, Dr. Faires will probably allow you to resume normal exercise and activities. Follow-up visits with Dr. Faires will help monitor your progress. Contact Dr. Faires with any questions or concerns.
Liposuction Results
You should really start to see results from the liposuction surgery after about a month once most of the swelling has subsided. In three months, virtually all swelling will go down and your results will be optimal. In order to maintain the results, it is important to not gain weight subsequently so Dr. Faires will recommend a healthy diet and a workout regimen.
