Liposuction & Body Contouring

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas. Liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercise. However, it can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

BEST CANDIDATES
Normal-weight men and women with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas.

PREPARING FOR SURGERY
You will be advised to quit smoking several weeks prior to surgery. Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery, and to help you at home for a few days.

ANESTHESIA
Liposuction is performed at an outpatient surgical procedure - you will go home the same day. General anesthesia will be used, so you will be asleep during the procedure.

THE SURGERY
The time required to perform liposuction depends on the size of the area and the amount of fat being removed. Through a tiny incision made by Dr. Efird, a narrow tube or canula is inserted and used to vacuum the fat layer that lies beneath the skin. The canula is pushed, then pulled, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out. The incisions
are very small and placed inconspicuously as possible.

RECOVERY
After surgery, you may experience some pain, burning, swelling, bleeding and temporary numbness. Pain can be controlled with medication though you may feel stiff and sore for several days. To control, swelling you will be fitted with a snug elastic garment which you will wear for about four weeks.

HEALING
Healing is a gradual process. You should start walking as soon as possible to reduce swelling and to help prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. You should be able to return to work within a few days following surgery. Stitches are removed in 7 - 10 days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for about a month. Although most bruising and swelling disappears within three weeks, some swelling may remain for six months or more. You will be able to admire your new shape after about three months. A healthy diet and regular exercise will help you maintain your new shape.
