Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedure with a proven track record over many years. Men and women alike have been amazed by this surgery’s capability to remove stubborn fat where exercise, diet, and other attempts have been unsuccessful.

Rachel, is a specialist in fat removal and body contouring and performs many methods of reducing fat and shaping the body. Each unique body is different, and a patient consultation with Dr. Rachel will help gain clarity on the best possible approach to meet your aesthetic goals. Liposuction is commonly used on the neck, hips, thighs, abdomen, flanks, inner knees, arms, and beneath the skin. The results from liposuction typically remain for many years if the patient adheres to a healthy lifestyle.

Liposuction
Consultation
Dr. Rachel will ask about your surgical goals, medical concerns, previous operations, and current prescription drugs, including supplements and vitamins. During the session, you should discuss your alcohol and tobacco habits in detail.
The
Liposuction Procedure
A narrow tube called a cannula is then introduced through an incision in the skin to perform liposuction. The cannula is used to release the fat cells from the surrounding tissues and to improve the contours of the area being treated. The fat is then suctioned out of the body using a suction device attached to the cannula.
Once the desired contours are obtained following liposuction, Dr. Rachel will dress the incisions appropriately.
Liposuction
Recovery
After the liposuction procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising and discomfort in the treated area. Compression garments or elastic bandages may be used to help reduce these symptoms while the area heals. Patients can return to work and other regular activities as soon as they feel comfortable, which is usually after a few days. Exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.
Dr. Rachel will give you special instructions on how to care for your treated area and reduce any complications after the procedure. The results of the procedure may not be visible until any swelling and bruising subsides. This may take several months, and results will appear gradually throughout this time.
