It’s also important to keep in mind as with most cosmetic procedures, it’s normal to experience things like swelling and bruising. Like any surgery, Dr. Larsen will send you home with post-op care instructions. Your instructions will vary based on your specific procedure but may include things like instructions to wear compression garments to reduce swelling. As always following doctor’s orders will lead to the fastest and most comfortable recovery. 

One thing to note about this particular procedure is that as your body is healing, so it’s normal to experience some contour irregularities. This is a normal part of the healing process so no need to panic. Simply rest and relax and as your body heals the swelling will subside and your new slimmer curves will appear.

There are many types of Liposuction available because your body stores fat differently in different areas. We’ll provide you with a brief description of a few of the most common types but trust that Dr. Larsen will choose and explain the best technique for your specific needs. Keep in mind that he chooses techniques based on maximizing your results while minimizing your discomfort.

• Tumescent Liposuction – This is probably the most common type of Liposuction. It is a simple procedure where the surgeon inserts a solution that aids in fat removal. Then the cannula (a small surgical tool) is inserted and suction is applied to remove the fat and fluids from your body. Typically, your body fluids are replenished with IV during this procedure. (It may sound a little strange if you’ve never considered how this procedure is done, but it’s actually a very simple process which produces fantastic results.)
• Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction or UAL – This is often done in conjunction with traditional liposuction. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts a small metal rod that emits ultrasonic energy underneath your skin. This process ruptures the fat cell walls and allows for easier removal.
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction or LAL – This is a procedure that uses a high-intensity laser to break down fat for removal. A small incision is made, and the laser is inserted to break down the fat, then the fat is then removed with a cannula.
• Power-Assisted Liposuction or PAL – This type of Liposuction is performed using a cannula that moves back and forth creating a vibration. It’s the vibration that makes the procedure so effective allowing the surgeon to remove tough harder to remove fat both easier and faster. This method is known for causing less pain and swelling and can allow the surgeon to remove a greater volume of fat. This option is also commonly used if you have previously had liposuction.

When you call our office Dr. Larsen will meet with you, assess the areas you’d like to improve and explain to you your options. He will help you understand which procedure is best for the exact results you’d like to achieve. Liposuction is one of the most common procedures requested because of its quick recovery time and dramatic results. Call today to book your consultation and you might be surprised at how easy it is to change some of those stubborn areas.
