About Liposuction Banner

What is
Liposuction?

Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a type of surgery that removes fat from certain body parts. During this body contouring procedure, Dr. Sabry makes small incisions in the areas the patient wants to change. He puts there a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. It is used to break up and remove excess fat via suction, leading to an improved overall texture.
Lipo is a great option for patients who are unable to shed stubborn fat despite dieting and exercise. It is commonly used on the arms, thighs, buttocks, neck, and abdomen. Weight loss isn’t the main aim of lipo. Improving proportions for a more balanced look is what patients can get. The procedure typically causes little scarring because the incisions are minor and put in just the right place.

Liposuction Techniques

At Murray Hill Plastic Surgery and Vein Center, we understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of liposuction techniques, each with its own method of fluid injection, fat removal, and use of advanced technology. Here are some of the methods we use:

Explained

Initial Consultation and TESTING

During the initial consultation, Dr. Sabry conducts a thorough examination of the patient to assess their suitability for liposuction. He also determines the most appropriate technique and type of anesthesia required. Our expert compiles an exhaustive medical history and conducts a thorough physical examination. It may encompass everything from measuring the patient’s weight to evaluating their dermal hue, distribution of adipose tissue, presence of cellulite, and general well-being. Patients also receive a breakdown of all costs involved for the entire procedure.
Next, patients should undergo a comprehensive exam to check for any medical issues. Dr. Sabry may order routine blood work or other tests needed to ensure that it’s safe to move forward with surgery. Certain medical conditions may contraindicate liposuction procedures, such as:

The PROCEDURE

Marking and Anesthesia

On surgery day, Dr. Sabry marks the incision sites. The procedure can be done with local or general anesthesia for maximum comfort, depending on what the patient needs.
Next, our surgeon performs fat removal. Dr. Sabry prefers using tumescent liposuction along with the super-wet technique. But if needed, he also performs ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL). The tumescent and super-wet techniques involve injecting a solution into the treatment areas. With UAL, the fat is first broken up using ultrasonic energy before being removed. A cannula (thin tube) is then inserted through small incisions to suction out the fat.
Once the desired amount of fat has been taken out and a better body shape has been achieved, the incisions are closed using stitches. Depending on how much fat is going to be removed, the whole surgical procedure can take from one to five hours.

Add-On Procedure: Breast Augmentation

A lot of women choose to have breast augmentation along with their liposuction. It can boost the results by increasing volume, improving shape, making saggy breasts more filled out, and lifting them. Breast implants come in all shapes and sizes. Different types include round or teardrop (anatomical), saline, silicone or gummy bear, and textured or smooth. To avoid putting too much weight on newly tightened skin, our surgeon might suggest implants that are slightly smaller than average. Having both operations at once might mean a more extended recovery period. Still, the difference afterward could be tremendous.

Recovery After Liposuction

Immediate Recovery

Following liposuction surgery, most patients stay at our comfortable facility for several hours. During this time, our experts keep an eye on their progress after they wake up from the anesthetic and begin recovering. It is expected to feel some soreness. Dr. Sabry can provide the medication needed to cope with any pain or discomfort. The area where the cannula was inserted might release fluid or drain liquid for a few days. Sometimes, to assist with this process, our medical professionals may put in place a drainage tube.
For the first 14 days post-liposuction, we advise our patients to put on a compression garment all the time, including in bed. This clothing item not only helps diminish swelling. It also provides support for areas that have been worked on and contributes to their recovery. Once a fortnight has passed, they should wear the garment every night for another 14-28 days. We encourage our patients to start walking as soon they feel up to it. Many take just a few days off work. However, any strenuous activity is best avoided for approximately one month post-op. 
As the body heals, it can take up to three months for swelling to fully go down. Then, the final results of liposuction will be shown. While patients will see a difference right away in terms of improved body contours, they will notice even better results as time passes and swelling subsides further. Still, ongoing check-ins with Dr Sabry mean any worries are dealt with promptly and that recovery stays on track.

Liposuction can be beneficial for those who want to reshape their bodies by removing unwanted localized fat deposits. But it is notsuitable for everyone. Good candidates have these essential qualities:

General Health

Some health conditions can make surgery riskier and affect how well they recover afterward. A complete medical assessment is a must to determine if the patient is a good candidate for the operation.
Before having the procedure done, patients need to maintain a steady weight for at least half a year. This way, they can ensure that their lipo results will last longer.
Patients withnice tight skin that stretches well are more likely to have good results: smooth and even. Those with a lot of loose and excess skin might need other types of surgery (like a tummy tuck) if they want to remove it.
Even though the procedure can significantly enhance body shape, it will not perform miracles. Patients must maintain realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of liposuction.
Nicotine can slow down the recovery and raise the likelihood of side effects. We prefer candidates who don’t smoke or who can quit for 6-8 weeks before and after surgery.
