Liposuction at Bella Cosmetic Surgery
Liposuction is one of the most advanced FDA-approved surgical treatments that is designed to permanently eradicate unwanted and stubborn fat permanently. During your liposuction treatment, Dr. Michael Chiaramonte, a board-certified surgeon with over 20 years of experience, will strategically and precisely remove excess fat deposits from your desired target areas. The procedure will slim and contour your body to expose muscle definition and tighten sagging, drooping skin.
The specifics of the procedure will depend on the areas you wish to treat and if you want to treat more than one area at once. During the initial consultation, our medical team will thoroughly prep Alexandria patients on what to expect in their individual liposuction procedure and how to optimize their recovery.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat from specific areas of the body to improve its shape and contour. It is typically done under anesthesia, meaning you will not feel anything during the procedure.
First, Dr. Chiaramonte will make small incisions in the skin near the targeted areas. Then, a thin tube called a cannula will be inserted through these incisions. The cannula is connected to a vacuum-like device that suctions out the unwanted fat cells. Dr. Chiaramonte will carefully maneuver the cannula back and forth to break up and remove unwanted fat deposits while sculpting your desired shape. Once the excess fat is removed, the incisions are carefully stitched up, and bandages or compression garments may be applied to the treatment area to help you heal and reduce any swelling.
Am I the Ideal Liposuction Candidate?
The ideal Alexandria liposuction candidate is a healthy adult who is within 10 pounds of their goal weight and has a BMI below 25. Patients should not have any chronic health conditions, and ideally, they should be non-smokers.
The most popular areas for liposuction for both men and women are the abdomen and flanks—in other words, the belly pooch and love handles. Other popular areas include the back, chest, arms, and inner thighs. We can perform combination procedures if you require liposuction in multiple areas.
Recovery, Rest and Downtime From Liposuction: What To Expect
Liposuction is an advanced plastic surgery procedure that requires plenty of rest, relaxation, and TLC for an optimal, complication-free recovery. Post-liposuction, most of our patients in Alexandria can return to work after a full week of rest, but Dr. Chiaramonte may make specific recommendations to you based on your individual needs. Your needs may vary based on individual factors such as your age and health.
Is Liposuction Permanent?
Yes, liposuction is permanent. Once liposuction removes your fat cells, they cannot regrow in the body. However, if you do not live a healthy lifestyle, you can regrow new fat cells, and undo your results.
Our medical team recommends that following a liposuction procedure, Alexandria patients prolong their beautiful results by following a healthy, nutritious diet and a good exercise plan. We also highly recommend that you ensure that you stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
