Liposuction is an exciting process that offers patients an opportunity to enhance their self image in a way that even the most committed diets and exercise regimens fail to address. For many who live a healthy lifestyle and exercise, their genetics or family history may be the reason they struggle with stubborn, localized fat pockets in areas such as the abdomen or thighs.
It helps to know what to expect when thinking about your liposuction procedure. Liposuction has three major steps: anesthesia, incision, and recovery. After sitting down in a thorough consultation with a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Troy Andreasen where your specific goals are clarified and addressed, you will be asked to follow some precautionary steps.
You may be told to get a lab test or medical evaluation, take or adjust certain medications, stop smoking, and avoid taking aspirin. Depending on the type and amount of liposuction you recieve, you’ll need to schedule someone to pick you up and stay with you for one night after your procedure is done.
