What You Need to Know About Liposuction

What You Need to Know About Liposuction

What You Need to Know About Liposuction

Traditional liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from just beneath the skin. It is a great way to address stubborn pockets of fat that are not responsive to diet and exercise. If you have been considering , here’s what you need to know about liposuction.

What Is the Procedure?

During liposuction, small incisions are made in the target area. A tool called a cannula is placed inside the incision within the fat pocket. This tool is attached to a suction device or syringe to remove the fat. The tool loosens the fat, then it is removed with suction. The incisions are very small, so scarring is minimal. Liposuction is most commonly used for a double chin, back of the neck, upper arms, outer thighs or saddlebags, abdomen, muffin top, and love handles.

Not a Weight Loss Procedure

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. While you may notice a difference in a pound or two on the scale, weight loss is not the goal of liposuction. Liposuction is a solution for healthy individuals at or near their goal weight who have a stubborn pocket of fat that is unresponsive to diet and exercise. This is not a weight loss procedure. It is a cosmetic procedure that improves your appearance, not your health.

Recovery

Recovery from liposuction is a fairly simple and painless process. Most people are able to return to work within a few days. You usually need to wait one to two weeks before exercise or other physical exertions. Recovery time is directly related to how much fat you had removed and the size of the treatment area. You will have some post-surgical instructions to follow, such as wearing compression garments. Make sure you follow all of these instructions, and you will have a fast and full recovery.

If you are interested in using liposuction to tackle your pockets of stubborn fat, contact us today for more information or to schedule an appointment for a consultation.

    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
