Miami Liposuction: Before and After

August 19, 2016 by Plastic Surgery Institute

So you’re thinking about seeking out one of the coveted Miami liposuction jobs and you’re not quite sure where to start. We would like to assure you that by coming here you’ve actually made a great decision! To start, we are a board certified facility, and Miami seems to be a bit devoid of that at the moment. Secondly, we have the experience to make many of your visions a reality so long as your expectations for liposuction are realistic. Before we get into what happens during the procedure, let’s talk a bit about the causes and the reasons.

Understanding the Reasons for Miami Liposuction

Miami LiposuctionContrary to popular belief, and contrary to what the movies would have you believe, liposuction is most certainly not a solution or cure for obesity. The general idea is to sculpt the body by permanently removing fat cells – if the body is mistreated after the procedure, the remaining fat cells can actually grow larger, putting you right back where you were. That being said, we’re going to cover a few of the most common reasons for seeking out this type of procedure.

Lymphedema – This is a chronic condition in which fluid collects beneath your tissue. As this occurs it creates a situation known as edema, or swelling, and you will most often find this in the arms or the legs. Liposuction is often used to reduce the discomfort and pain, but only in the case of the most severe symptoms.

Lipodystrophy Syndrome – In this situation fat is accumulated in the body, but only at one point. With liposuction, the fat can be redistributed to create a more natural look.

Wight Loss Following Obesity – When a morbidly obese individual loses a considerable amount of body weight they tend to end up with excess skin or even other abnormalities that call for treatment. Liposuction can be used to treat that condition and return the body to normal.

The Liposuction Process

Before the operation can begin, you will need to undergo a few health tests and you will need to make sure you follow the doctor’s instructions to ensure that your procedure is perfectly safe. Some of these instructions will include, but are certainly not limited to the following:

  • Case Anti-Inflammatory Drugs – Before you undergo a procedure from a liposuction specialist in Miami you will need to cease taking aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • Contraception – If you are taking a contraceptive pill, you will likely be asked to stop before the procedure – the length of time will depend upon your physician.
  • Iron Supplements – If you are suffering from anemia then your physician will ask that you take iron supplements for a time before the operation proceeds

As always, you will need to sign a consent and release form, ensuring that you do in fact consent to the procedure and all of the potential risks. Once this is done, you can move forward to the operation itself.

The Operation

The operation itself will probably last for about 1-3 hours, and there are actually several different types of liposuction. These include tumescent, we, super-wet, dry, ultrasound assisted, power-assisted, and laser assisted.

Once the proper area has been prepped for the treatment, the cut is made and the micro cannula is inserted. Using the power of suction, the fat is first loosened, and then sucked through the cannula. Following the surgery, it may be necessary to leave the incision open for a bit so that blood and excess fluid can be drained from the body.

A liposuction specialist in Miami can make great improvements in your figure and the way in which fat is distributed. In addition to that your self esteem will undoubtedly go through the roof once you have finally completed the procedure. It’s time to stop worrying about the excess at, and time to start living your life.
