Liposuction Overview
  • Effective Fat Removal: Suction-assisted lipectomy, or liposuction, targets unwanted fat in areas like the chin, neck, abdomen, and more.
  • Specific Focus: Ideal for addressing localized fat, not overall weight reduction or cellulite.

Understanding Liposuction: Limitations and Purpose
  • Targeted Approach: Best for areas resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Skin Considerations: May require additional procedures for loose skin.

Consultation and Expectations
  • Enhanced Appearance: Improves self-confidence, though it may not drastically change overall appearance.
  • Expert Guidance: Dr. Weiss discusses your goals to ensure liposuction is the right choice. Ideal Candidates: Is Liposuction Right for You?
  • Candidate Profile: Best for those with normal weight but localized excess fat.
  • Health and Stability: Physical health and realistic expectations are key.
  • Skin Elasticity: Firm skin is beneficial; loose skin may need extra care. Anesthesia and Liposuction Procedure
  • Anesthesia Options: Local with sedative for smaller areas, general for larger or multiple areas.
  • Procedure Process: Performed awake under local anesthesia for minimal discomfort.

Pre-Surgery: Preparing with Dr. Weiss

The Liposuction Procedure: A Detailed Overview
  • Incision and Fat Removal: Small incisions for cannula insertion, breaking up and suctioning out fat.
  • Sensations During Surgery: Vibrations and mild stinging under local anesthesia.
  • Fluid Management: IV fluids to compensate for fluid loss; blood transfusion if needed.
  • Procedure Duration: Varies based on area and amount of fat.

​Post-Surgery Care and Recovery

Immediate Aftercare
  • Drainage and Compression Garments: Essential for managing swelling and shaping the body.
  • Recovery Timeline: Wearing garments for 2-3 weeks, with gradual reduction.
​
Recovery: Healing and Resuming Activities
  • Gradual Healing: Walking encouraged post-surgery; avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks.
  • Return to Normalcy: Work resumption and activity level dependent on individual recovery.
