WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION Liposuction is a surgical procedure that breaks down and removes fat from parts of your body that are resistant to diet and exercise It is commonly performed on areas like the abdomen hips thighs arms or neck Contrary to popular belief it is not a weight loss surgery rather it is a body contouring procedure focused on small pockets of fat that have accumulated on your body When your body gains weight your fat cells increase in size and volume Liposuction is used to reduce the number of those fat cells in targeted areas on your body It s used for slimming and reshaping your body contouring it by removing excess fat deposits 4

WHAT LIPOSUCTION CAN TREAT Liposuction can remove stubborn fat deposits from parts of the body where diet and exercise fail Such as thighs hips and buttocks abdomen and waist upper arms back inner knee chest area cheeks chin and neck and calves and ankles Liposuction can be performed alone or paired with other procedures to achieve optimal results Common procedures it s paired with include surgical procedures like facelifts tummy tucks and breast reductions It is also paired with less invasive procedures like BodyTite 5

Page 6

WHAT LIPOSUCTION CANNOT TREAT Many people view liposuction as a weight loss surgery or a cure all for parts of their body they are unhappy with The truth is that liposuction can improve many things but it is no replacement for a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition and consistent exercise It is not a solution for extreme weight loss or a treatment for obesity It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite 6

Page 7

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION Good candidates for a liposuction procedure have maintained a healthy weight for at least a year They are within 30 of their ideal BMI and have firm skin with good elasticity as well as a healthy muscle tone It s best if you are a nonsmoker And perhaps the most important component for a good candidate is that you have a positive outlook and realistic expectations of what is possible It s also important to note that this is a procedure with a recovery period that can span weeks to even months Many patients think of this as a quick fix but it is an invasive surgical procedure that requires time for your body to heal Typical liposuction surgery can take 2 weeks before you can return to normal activities and even a few months or longer for your body to fully heal 7

Once you ve had your consultation and decided on the right procedure for you the next steps in the process are scheduling your procedure and having the surgery Liposuction is performed at Chastain Surgery Center which is Atlanta s Premier AAAASF accredited ambulatory surgery center This brand new facility is not only beautiful but it was designed to provide our patients with the utmost in comfort and luxury The liposuction procedure itself is simple You are sedated using oral sedation or general anesthesia Small incisions are made in well hidden areas Dr Larsen uses a technique called Tumescent Liposuction This is probably the most common type of Liposuction It is a simple procedure where the surgeon inserts a solution that aids in fat removal Then the cannula a small surgical tool is inserted and suction is applied to remove the fat and fluids from your body Your body fluids are replenished with an IV during this procedure It may sound a little strange if you ve never considered how this procedure is done but it s actually a very simple process which produces fantastic results Then the remaining tissue will be adjusted to form a more pleasing contour and the incisions are closed and you ll be sent to recovery 10

Page 11

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE Recovery from liposuction takes time You should expect to wake up from surgery with compression garments in place Immediately after surgery you may notice drainage from the incisions this is normal and will gradually decrease over the first few days For the first 2 weeks after your surgery you will be expected to rest and let your body recover There will be a significant amount of swelling and bruising in the weeks following your surgery If your body is healing well it s likely that you will be allowed to return to work after a couple weeks The bruising will start to subside at that point but it is likely that swelling will continue for a few months Swelling and bruising are a normal part of the healing process for your body after this type of procedure Dr Larsen will likely recommend that you wear a compression garment to help manage the swelling while your body heals The exact length of your recovery depends on the areas of your body that were treated and the amount of fat that was removed 11

Page 12

Like any surgery Dr Larsen will send you home with post op care instructions Your instructions will vary based on your specific procedure As always following doctor s orders will lead to the fastest and most comfortable recovery One thing to note about this particular procedure is that it s normal to experience some contour irregularities This is a normal part of the healing process so no need to panic Simply rest and relax and as your body heals the swelling will subside and your new slimmer curves will appear 12

WHAT DO PATIENTS PAIR LIPOSUCTION WITH Liposuction is often paired with other procedures at Buckhead Plastic Surgery Such as a tummy tuck which can get rid of excess skin on the stomach or BodyTite BodyTite is a minimally invasive treatment that also helps with body contouring This procedure recontours fatty areas while tightening skin without the long recovery or downtime that comes with surgery It is common for patients to schedule these procedures together for maximum results with minimal downtime Call us today to see which procedures would be most effective for you 13
