What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove unwanted fat deposits from targeted body areas, sculpting your figure to achieve a more harmonious, balanced appearance. 

For those seeking a less invasive liposuction experience, Awake Liposuction offers a gentler approach that lets you stay awake and comfortable during the procedure. Ideal candidates for liposuction are healthy adults with realistic expectations, good skin elasticity, and stubborn fat areas unresponsive to diet and exercise.

Understanding the Liposuction Procedure

The liposuction procedure begins with administering anesthesia, which varies from local anesthesia to general anesthesia, depending on the type of liposuction. Small incisions are made in the targeted areas to insert a thin tube called a cannula, which gently loosens and suctions out unwanted fat. 

The procedure’s duration depends on several factors, including the number of treatment areas and the amount of fat removed. At Salameh Plastic Surgery Center, you’re in expert hands with our highly skilled surgical team led by renowned, double-board-certified surgeon Dr. Salameh.

Before Liposuction: Preparing for the Procedure

A thorough consultation with Dr. Salameh is essential to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique expectations and preferences. This phase is also crucial to determine whether you are a great candidate for awake liposuction.

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities; hence, we may recommend medical tests and lifestyle changes, such as adjusting medications, ceasing smoking, and arranging necessary transportation and time off.

After Liposuction: The Recovery Process

Recovery times vary depending on the liposuction type and individual factors, with most patients resuming work within a week or two. As you recover, you may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which can be managed with medications, compressive garments, and self-care techniques. 

A wholesome, balanced diet and regular exercise are essential to maintaining long-lasting results. Dr. Salameh and the medical team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and offer guidance as needed.

Awake Liposuction technique prides itself on a recovery process that centers around patients’ comfort and convenience. Compared to traditional liposuction, the benefits of Awake Liposuction extend to the recovery phase, with many patients experiencing a faster return to their daily activities.
