Liposuction

You might be surprised to find out how many of those "lucky" people are products of talented plastic surgeons. Today we can contour bodies as though we were sculptors. The more experience we have, the more precise our outcomes.

An Expert in Liposuction
Dr. Narsete was one of the 50 plastic surgeons in the U.S. to receive training to perform liposuction. Since he started offering lipo to his patients in 1983, he has received further training in the newer, more refined methods that have received FDA approval. Today liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical treatment plastic surgeons are asked to perform.

Ultrasonic Liposuction
Ultrasonic Liposuction (UAL) was developed to add precision to the process of removing unwanted fat cells from the body. With this technique, ultrasonic energy is used to break up the fat and convert it into oil, after which it's efficiently pulled out of the body. In addition, he injects dilute anesthesia with adrenaline to further facilitate fat removal.

With UAL we can target fat cells in difficult areas of the body such as the upper abdomen, flanks, hip and back. The results are the same as with traditional liposuction. But the fat is removed more easily, with less stress to the body.

Ideal Candidates
• Have tried diet, exercise and weight loss programs without getting permanent results.
• Are only slightly to moderately overweight.
• Have stable weight (not planning massive future weight loss)
• Understand liposuction is not a weight loss program.
• Have firm, elastic skin and are in good health

How will my skin look after surgery?
The changes following liposuction are similar to what you would expect if you could lose an equal amount of localized fat through diet and exercise. As with diet and exercise, dimples, ripples and stretch marks can't be removed.

Is the fat removal permanent?
Yes. The fat cells in the treated areas are gone. The localized fatty deposits that existed prior to liposuction can no longer balloon up out of proportion to the surrounding areas. Should you gain weight after liposuction, the fat will enter the fat cells that remain in your body.

Will liposuction get rid of cellulite?
Dr. Narsete has 25 years experience in superficial liposculpture where cellulite is removed or significantly improved. He does this routinely in the posterior thigh and buttock area. He has developed special techniques to make a new buttock crease for a more youthful appearance.

Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite, although many patients do notice an improvement in the appearance of cellulite after the fat cells are removed.

Recovery
This is serious surgery and recovery is gradual. You will:
• Wear a snug elastic dressing, girdle, or body stocking over the treated area for the next several weeks
• Rest for at least 24 hours post-op
• Resume non-strenuous activities after 2 or 3 days
• Resume normal activities as tolerated (and approved by me)
• Serious exercise will have to be postponed for 30 days or more.

Will I need a second procedure?
Most likely one procedure will be sufficient. However, some patients require a fine tuning procedure at a future date.
