LIPOSUCTION
About Liposuction
Permanent Improved Contour
Liposuction in Woodstock is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of fat in specific areas of the body that are resistant to weight loss and exercise. Very short incisions (usually less than a quarter of an inch long) are placed in inconspicuous locations near the problematic fat deposits. A fluid called tumescent solution is placed into each area to minimize bleeding and reduce postoperative pain.
The fat cells are then removed using small suction tubes called cannulas. Liposuction in Woodstock should not be thought of as a weight loss procedure, but rather a contouring procedure for areas that are resistant to weight loss and exercise. The ideal candidate for liposuction is a healthy male or female who is close to their desired weight. It is extremely important to keep up good nutrition and an exercise program before, during, and after liposuction to ensure that optimum results are achieved and maintained.

LIPOSUCTION OVERVIEW
WHAT IT TREATS:
Excess fat deposits in body areas resistant to weight loss and exercise.
WILL IT HURT?
While liposuction is not necessarily a “painful” procedure, you will feel bruised and some areas will remain tender for up to 6 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
ANESTHESIA:
The procedure is done under local anesthesia.
What results can I expect?
The final results of liposuction in Woodstock are not immediate, although some improvement is noted immediately and in the first few weeks after surgery. Because the overlying skin has to shrink and smooth over the body’s new shape following fat removal, final results can be expected 6 to 9 months after the procedure.
- A permanent improvement in the contour and proportion of the treated area
- A more flattering figure or physique, in or out of clothing
Recovery Time?
You will have minor bruising, swelling, and uneven skin contour after surgery. A compression garment will be worn 23/7 for 12 weeks and then 12 hours on/off for 3 additional months.
- By 8 to10 days the bruising should be almost gone, swelling can last 6 to 8 weeks.
- At 9 months to “ At 6 months”
- 2 to 3 weeks – resume full activities
