Liposuction shapes and removes fat deposits from areas of the body that, despite diet and exercise, are resistant to change.
What you’ll feel during liposuction is determined by individual factors, including the amount of fat you wish to remove, the areas where liposuction is performed, and the technique employed to accomplish the surgery.
Read on to learn how to prepare for liposuction at Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Torrance:
Length of A Liposuction Process
The length of your liposuction procedure depends on several things, including the technique employed, your body fat distribution, the amount of fat you want to be removed, and the size of the area where fat is being removed. Having fat removed from your neck, for example, might be faster than having a substantial amount of fat removed from a large area, such as your back or belly.
Treatment Targeted Areas
Liposuction aims to remove excess fat cells from almost any part of the body. Excess fatty tissue in the upper arms, underarms, lower abdomen, upper abdomen, and legs is commonly removed by this surgery. It can, however, be used to remove extra fat and contour:
- Back
- Calves
- Hips
- Neck
- Sides
- Outer and Inner Thighs
However, remember that certain objectives should be accomplished prior to this procedure for it to be a good fit for you. It’s important, for example, that you are within about 30% of your ideal weight, and have excess fat deposits in the targeted area. Nevertheless, liposuction does not replace diet and exercise, it is not a treatment for obesity.
Good Candidate For Undergoing Liposuction
The greatest candidate for liposuction is someone who is in good physical and mental health, has realistic expectations about every element of the treatment, and intends to eliminate fat deposits and shape and contour specific areas of the body.
To evaluate if you are a good candidate, you will schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Rosso, one of the best, multi-awarded plastic surgeons in Torrance, CA. The outcome of this procedure is dependent on your body fat distribution as well as your skin elasticity or laxity.
Preparation for Liposuction
Fortunately, the process of preparing for any cosmetic operation is pretty much universal. As mentioned, an initial consultation is required for liposuction. This is crucial for determining whether or not you are a good candidate for this surgery, what your surgical goals are, any medical conditions, and the best course of treatment for you.
It also allows you access to detailed advice on preparing for your procedure, your recovery, and what you can expect on results and the post-operative process. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need to prepare for this procedure:
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is important before you start with the surgery. Please drink 4 to 6 cups of water every day to stay properly hydrated. When you are hydrated your urine is usually pale yellow.
There are several explanations why staying hydrated is crucial before liposuction. For starters, skin health necessitates appropriate hydration. After liposuction, the healthier your skin is, the faster it will show your results.
Eat Healthily
In the two weeks coming up to your surgery, you should make an effort to eat fruits and vegetables with every meal. If you fill yourself with fruits and veggies for 42 meals, you should not have any dietary shortages in terms of vitamins and minerals. Your recovery should be quicker if you don’t have any nutritional deficits.
Conclusion
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to cosmetic surgery. Every patient has specific surgical requirements.
