Liposuction Philadelphia - Lipoplasty

Liposuction is a cosmetic enhancement surgery that involves the removal of fatty deposits from ‘trouble areas’ such as the thighs, stomach/waist, cheeks, chin and neck, as well as the hips, buttocks and upper arms. By targeting specific areas of the body, Philadelphia Liposuction Specialist Dr. Robert J. Mirabile is able to contour and smooth the skin with no major incisions, which makes Liposuction an attractive alternative to more invasive surgical procedures for patients. However, for more dramatic cases, when performed Liposuction is performed in conjunction with the Tummy Tuck, the results can be dramatic.

What to expect during your consultation

As with any cosmetic enhancement surgery, you should first consider your motivations for surgery to be sure that you’re choosing surgery for yourself and not to fulfill someone else’s’ desires or expectations of you or your body. It is a very personal matter and any decision for surgery should come after careful consideration of all the facts and emotions involved.

Liposuction may be a good option for you if you:

* Maintain good physical health and reasonable weight
* Don’t smoke
* Have realistic expectations
* Are frustrated by your attempts at losing specific areas of fatty deposits through diet and exercise

What to expect during your consultation

In order to create the best possible results from your liposuction surgery, it is important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how liposuction surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation:

* General medical history, including the results of laboratory work and past surgeries
* A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
* Any use of tobacco or other drugs
* What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations?

At the consultation, your surgeon will also:

* Evaluate your current health
* Photographically document the ‘trouble’ areas
* Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment
* Disclose the risk of common complications associated with abdominoplasty surgery and the use of anesthesia
* Cover what to do the day of surgery
* Cover post-operative care and recovery

Preparing for surgery

In the weeks before surgery, your surgeon may request:

* Further laboratory testing or medical evaluations
* Adjusting current prescriptions
* That you avoid the consumption of alcohol, drugs and abstain from smoking for a certain period surrounding surgery

Finally, pre-surgery, your surgeon will go over the options you may have regarding the location of your surgery. Typically, the liposuction procedure is performed in an accredited surgical center, outpatient ambulatory surgical center or a hospital.
