Liposuction can be performed on several areas of your body at the same time, or be done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery procedures. Liposuction may be the answer if you can’t diet or exercise enough to get the trim figure you’d like. If you have stubborn areas of excess fat, liposuction, also known as liposculpture or body contouring, removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of your body, face, or neck. Liposuction can give you a flatter abdomen, slimmer hips and thighs, and shapelier calves and ankles. It can even eliminate a double chin.
People of almost any age may undergo liposuction. Patients with good skin elasticity will achieve the smoothest contour after fat is removed.
Safety and Comfort with Anesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during liposuction. Choices include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia: Dr. Koplin will recommend the best anesthesia for you. Your anesthesia provider has a wealth of experience. Your safety and comfort are always paramount.
Fully Staffed Recovery Room
You will spend one to two hours in a fully-monitored and state-of-the art recovery room at the surgery center. Your registered nurse will be at your side every moment to attend to your safety and comfort.
You have several options: you may choose to have professional care, to stay in a recovery center, or recover at home. If you wish to recover at home, you must have someone stay with you the first night. We will send you home with precise instructions and a “care package” of supplies and medications.
We will provide a custom-fitting compression garment to mold and shape the skin to your new body contours.
Attention to detail, expertise in surgical technique, and pioneering work in the area of Natural Fat Transfer sets Dr. Koplin apart from other surgeons. For nearly 20 years, he has used a combination of these techniques to create shapely, natural-looking figures. If you are considering liposuction, you may want to also consider using the fat to correct loss of volume from various places in the face.
First Week:
During the first 48 hours following surgery, you’ll experience some degree of swelling and bruising. Rest quietly the first few days after surgery, but we encourage you to walk around and be out of bed.
• Do not take aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory medications.
• Avoid straining, bending over and lifting
All your tiny incisions are closed with hidden dissolving sutures, so there are no stitches to remove!
Second Week and Beyond:
Bruising typically disappears between seven and fourteen days. You will still have some swelling, which can take three months to completely resolve as we actively encourage our patients to return to normal activities quickly. Most of our patients wear their custom garments a minimum of two weeks, when they can then resume active exercise.
