Liposuction is a great treatment for men and women with pesky areas of fat that have been hard to lose with exercise and diet. Liposuction is not a treatment for loose or saggy skin. It is also important to realize that liposuction is not an answer to weight loss
Dr. Ramos or someone from our team will check in with you after your treatment. Initial swelling, redness and bruising can take one to two weeks to resolve. About three to nine months are needed until the final results are stable. J-plasma skin resurfacing may cause pinkness for one to two months post procedure. Minor pain can be treated with over the counter Tylenol, however if you are sensitive to
pain, we can prescribe stronger analgesic. We recommend to apply moisturizers, Vaseline or Aquaphore all day long for at least 7 days post procedure.
While in the same “cosmetic family” as liposuction, liposculpture is a more advanced cosmetic surgery. Liposculpture is designed to perform more extensive body contouring through the removal and reshaping areas of fat deposits. It is used to enhance the definition of muscles and remove fat from problem areas. Liposculpture is used to achieve precise and impactful body sculpting results not achievable with standard liposuction. Liposculpture is not typically used for large weight loss results. Liposculpture and Liposuction are surgical procedures used to permanently remove excess fat from any area of the body.
We perform Liposculpture in most of our patients as well as standard liposuction in patients with larger amounts of fat excess. These procedures are done in our cosmetic center with local anesthesia (tumescent) and mild sedation. This type of anesthesia has been around for more than 30 years. Tumescent liposuction is one of the safest procedures performed in the office setting.
The technique and cosmetic artistry of Dr. Ramos produces a dramatic improvement in patient’s body shape and proportions through these body sculpting procedures. This fact along with our newer technologies allows us to offer patients a variety of benefits such as precise cell targeting, reduced healing time, less complications, less downtime and unmatched body contouring results.
In General, most of our patients return to work 3 to 5 days after their procedure. They have to wear a binder or body shaper for 3 to 4 weeks. Patients may have mild to moderate pot-procedure swelling for 1 or 2 weeks. they do not have drains and bruising is rare. Skin incisions are small and do not need stiches, they are made in less visible areas or natural folds of your body.
We welcome you to contact our office and schedule a complimentary private consultation with Dr. Ramos to inquire more about our unmatched body contouring results.
