| Liposuction is a sculpting procedure that is not intended for weight loss. It is done on both men and women who are close to their ideal weight and want to deal with the areas that do not respond to exercise and diet.
Liposuction will remove the excess fat with tiny tubes that are inserted into small incisions in the area to be suctioned. This procedure removes fat, but does not address any excess skin. Dr. Peterson uses the proven tumescent technique, where large volumes of a special solution are used that decreases post-operative bleeding and pain.. Generally, patients will be on a lifting and exercise restriction of 6 weeks after surgery. You will be wearing a compression garment for 4 weeks. Most people can return to work in one week on light duty. |
