Body liposuction

Targeted bodysculpting makes a difference – washboard abs with svelte sides from rib to hip

Have you been fighting "saddle bags" or "love handles" for most of your life? Are you frustrated because your daily regimen of a healthy diet and consistent exercise has not successfully eliminated your "trouble spots" of unwanted fat?

Does it knock your confidence or make you feel less fit than you really are... even though you’ve been at a stable, healthy weight for years? You're not alone.

Such stubborn, unappealing pockets of fat generally worsen in your 30's to 40's as your metabolism begins to slow. If you are a mother, this is also about the time you realize the ultimate imprint childbirth has left on your body—even when you have lost all your pregnancy weight.

If these problems sound familiar, you may be a good candidate for liposuction, also known as liposculpture or body contouring. See patient before and after photos for a sample of Dr. Macdonald’s satisfying patient results.

body liposuction slims and sculpts curves

Some fatty tissue beneath the skin helps define the natural curves of each unique physique. Excessive fatty tissue, however, is often considered undesirable. Sometimes this fatty tissue becomes excessive in localized deposits. There may be a genetic predisposition that runs in the family.

Body liposuction can be used anywhere you may need it to remove unwanted, isolated fat deposits that have been resistant to response from good diet and regular exercise. Liposuction is not an effective plan for substantial weight loss

what should I do before liposuction surgery?

Most importantly, remember that liposuction subtly refines your bodily shape. It does not target weight loss. Results of liposuction are most satisfying when you have maintained a steady body weight for at least 6-12 months, allowing your "problem spots" to become evident.

This also ensures that your current diet and exercise routine is able to sustain this steady-state weight. Exercising the patience to get to this point makes your ultimate liposuction results that much more gratifying and long-lasting.

Get more guidance on specific actions you should take before liposuction surgery. Consult the surgical recovery chart to plan well for the peaceful, healing downtime you need post-op.

body liposuction surgery details

Results and methods used for each liposuction case depend on: the amount of fat to be removed, the elasticity and resilience of your skin, and the quality of your underlying muscle tone.

• You assist Dr. Macdonald in planning and marking out the targeted fat removal areas prior to surgery.
• To minimize any scarring, a tiny ¼ inch circular incision is made so that a narrow suction tube may be passed beneath the skin to remove the fat.
• Dr. Macdonald uses a tumescent solution to provide desired tissue tension, anesthesia and vasoconstriction (to minimize bruising)

healing and final results after body lipo

Visit the real cosmetic patient experiences blog to hear the story of one of our male patients who had body sculpting of his abs, flanks and chin. He kindly shared postings of his healing experience.

He’s very satisfied with how well his "six-pack abs" has re-emerged and his double-chin disappeared. He feels fit, confident and motivated to continue his healthy lifestyle.

Healing details to expect:

• After surgery, Dr. Macdonald places dressings on each tiny incision, followed by Reston foam and compression garments that are custom fitted at your pre-op. This provides evenly distributed pressure to the treated areas for proper healing.
• Post-surgical pain and discomfort is minimal.
• Swelling and bruising is normal within the first 3-7 days post-op
