LIPOSUCTION

The liposuction procedure at Gulf Coast Cosmetic Surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis and under the effect of general anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on the individual case and preference of the patient.

Before the liposuction surgery begins, the surgeon will likely mark all targeted body parts. He might also take pictures so that they can be used later to make a comparison with the results.

In most liposuction procedures, patients can go back home on the same day. But they need to be driven back home by a friend or family member. For candidates who get excessive fat removed, it is recommended that they plan for an overnight stay at the hospital.

Results of a liposuction procedure are typically long-lasting. However, the patient needs to ensure general fitness and steady weight. You would be able to notice an improvement in your body contour once the fluid retention and swelling following the liposuction surgery begin to subside.

It is crucial to understand that gradual aging does cause a loss in firmness; however, most of the improvement after a liposuction surgery should be fairly permanent.

Dr. Duerr only schedules a liposuction surgery after determining the candidacy of an individual. Usually, the best candidates are those who are in good health and within twenty-five pounds of their ideal weight prescribed for their body. The candidates must also be over 18 years of age in order to qualify for a liposuction procedure.
