Liposuction | Case Details
55-65 year old woman treated with Liposuction. Patient is 5’9”, 145 lbs. She had this procedure in combination with a buttock lift and a Mini Tummy Tuck for a full Mommy Makeover. This procedure is ideal for patients with a “mommy pouch”, or extra skin after pregnancy or weight loss that won’t go away in spite of diet and exercise. We typically use Smart / Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening (like BodyFX) to maximize skin contraction; and Ultrasound, RF, or subcision (Z Wave, Venus, Cellfina) to treat cellulite. Patients go home the day of surgery; typically do not use any narcotics postop for pain control, and are back to light exercise and work 48 hours after their procedures. In my practice, we specifically evaluate patients for these additional treatments, and select the appropriate treatment based on their skin quality, amount of fat, previous treatment(s), and surgical goals.
