Body Sculpting with Liposuction
Cutting Edge Surgery Toowoomba
At Cutting Edge Surgery, Dr. Bangash offers advanced body sculpting with liposuction to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals by removing stubborn fat from areas such as the arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Liposuction is an effective and minimally invasive solution for those who struggle with fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that targets and removes localized fat deposits to reshape and sculpt the body. It’s ideal for treating areas that are resistant to weight loss efforts, providing a slimmer, more toned appearance.
Areas Treated with Liposuction:
- Arms: Reduces excess fat for a more defined upper arm contour.
- Abdomen: Targets stubborn belly fat to flatten and shape the midsection.
- Flanks (Love Handles): Sculpts the waistline for a smoother silhouette.
- Thighs: Contours inner and outer thighs, creating a more proportional look.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction?
- Individuals with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
- Patients within 30% of their ideal weight with good skin elasticity.
- Non-smokers with realistic expectations of the procedure’s results.
- Those looking for body sculpting, not weight loss.
Can Liposuction be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes, liposuction can be combined with other surgical procedures for more comprehensive results. Common combinations include:
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, enhancing the results of liposuction.
- Breast Reduction: Liposuction can be used to refine the contouring of the breasts in breast reduction surgery.
- Body Lift Procedures: To achieve more dramatic transformations, liposuction can be paired with body lifts to address multiple areas.
Day Surgery Procedure
Liposuction is commonly performed as a day surgery, meaning most patients can return home the same day. The procedure is done under general or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the areas treated. Most sessions take a few hours to complete.
Complications
While liposuction is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks. These can include:
- Bruising and swelling
- Temporary numbness
- Infection
- Irregular contours (rare, with proper technique)
- Fluid accumulation (seromas)
Dr. Bangash takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure the best results for each patient.
Post-Operative Management
After liposuction, patients are encouraged to follow specific post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery:
- Compression Garments: Patients will be required to wear compression garments for several weeks after surgery. These garments help reduce swelling, improve healing, and maintain the new body shape.
- Rest and Recovery: Initial recovery may take a few days to a week, but most patients can resume normal activities after two weeks.
- Follow-Up: Dr. Bangash will monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and satisfactory results.
