How Much Weight Can You Lose With Liposuction?
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes body fat from certain areas of your body. The best liposuction Long Island at Bourhill Plastic Surgery should be only considered when you want to remove fat and lose weight. This procedure can remove fat from the following areas:
- Upper arms
- Abdomen
- Neck
- Calves
- Ankles
- Buttocks
- Chest
- Back
Many of these areas people feel are disproportionate to the rest of their bodies. Many doctors suggest anywhere from 5-30 pounds of weight loss will occur when the procedure is all done. Anything over 30 pounds is considered unhealthy and is recommended you lose weight naturally. At Bourhill Plastic Surgery our surgeons have years of experience and are the best liposuction Long Island has to offer.
What to Expect
During this procedure, you may be put under anesthesia or local anesthesia depending on the patient. Once under, the surgeons will begin to remove excess fat from the desired area piece by piece. This process takes time and precision in order to rid the extra fat and weight. You may experience some swelling, pain, and bruising when the procedure is done. This will subside in a couple of weeks. You will start to notice how lean the area looks. Depending on your body the recovery time frame may differ. Doctors also suggest you want to be within 30% of your ideal weight. This will produce the best results. Smoking can be hazardous to this procedure so if you want to be an ideal candidate for liposuction, being a nonsmoker has tremendous upsides. Unfortunately, cellulite can not be removed from your skin when undergoing this procedure. Being in good health with no blood issues is also recommended. A healthy immune system is essential to fighting off infection and reducing the time it takes to recover. You will be able to go home the day of the surgery in most cases. It is important to have someone drive you home or assist you. The best liposuction Long island has to offer is here at Bourhill Plastic Surgery.
