If you’ve been feeling dissatisfied with your life and think you might want a change, it just might be your physical body that is the root cause. Whether you have acquired crow’s feet over the years or gained some additional weight, your looks can have a lot to do with your happiness and satisfaction with life. Pennsylvania Plastic Surgeon Kole Plastic Surgery is aware that the passing years age bodies, and while he cannot reverse time he can enhance what life experience has given you to work with. Liposuction is a procedure that could be the change you are looking for.
As with any medical procedure, you may have questions and concerns about liposuction. Dr. Kole can explain the modern liposuction procedure so that you’ll understand the safe and relatively simple procedure. The first steps are completing a consultation and pre-liposuction evaluation. After these have been accomplished, your liposuction will be scheduled. Here is what to expect from your liposuction procedure.
- Upon arrival you will be greeted by our friendly staff and given the opportunity to ask Doctor Kole any remaining questions you have.
- You will then typically be asked to sign a consent form after speaking to the anesthesiologist to acknowledge the possible risks associated with the procedure.
- After you are settled in Doctor Kole will mark the areas to be suctioned.
- The procedure will begin with a solution being injected near the area to be suctioned. This solution contains a numbing agent or local anesthetic.
- Depending on the area being treated, the anesthetic can take up to 30 minutes to fully numb the space. This process must be done slowly to ensure its effectiveness. The goal is to ensure that the patient is comfortable and has little or no discomfort.
- Once the area has been sufficiently numbed, Doctor Kole will suction the marked areas with a medical grade hollow tube called a cannula.
- The fat that is removed moves through the cannula into a deposit chamber to be disposed.The fat is permanently removed.
- The procedure may take an hour, or less, depending on the area of your body being suctioned.
After your procedure is complete you will have dressings applied; in addition, you will wear a compression garment to assist with healing and to minimize discomfort. You will wear this for about two weeks after which you can return to your daily activities. Because every body is unique, your procedure and the results may vary.
