Are you at or near your ideal weight, yet struggling to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat from specific areas of your body? Have you tried everything, from the latest diets to hardcore exercise regimens, and they simply refuse to respond? If so, then you may be an excellent candidate for liposuction. Liposuction can be used to target isolated deposits of fat nearly anywhere on the body without disturbing adjacent healthy tissues.
We also allow you to drain the anesthesia from your body for several days to further speed your recovery. Everyday the swelling will resolve and your new sleeker shape will become evident. The other concern after liposuction is pain. The tumescent anesthesia will provide from 8-12 hours of anesthesia after the procedure.
How Can I Minimize Swelling and Soreness? The use of elastic compression garments following liposuction helps decrease any pain. This is especially true if the garments are used in conjunction with an open-drainage technique which means the liposuction incisions are not closed with stitches. This is done so there will be a maximum opportunity for blood drainage as well as any other solutions used by the doctor. The draining process minimizes the amount of swelling and soreness suffered by the patient.
There are a number of risks associated with Korean thigh liposuction. A few patients experience loose skin or stretch marks, and sometimes the skin will no longer be smooth over the removed fat. Medical complications are mild and infrequent. However you are likely to experience cosmetic issues critical among them are uneven pigmentation, occasional itchiness, and patchy skin. The change is always immediate and noticeable with Korean Thigh liposuction, and the healing should continue gradually over the next three months. The new shape can be maintained permanently because the fat cells won’t grow back. The swelling, pain and bruising might persist for six weeks though some of it will remain for up to six months. You might need a tube for post-operative body fluid drainage to allow drain of the fluids and to reduce swelling.
During this first week and leading up to the second week, Dr Lanzer does encourage patients to wear the garments as much as possible. When Vaser liposuction has been performed on the stomach, it is also advisable to wear a special foam binder; this tends to reduce swelling and bruising and also the risk of seroma where fluid can collect.
Pain after the surgery can last from 24 to 48 hours and it can be reduced with analgesics. The pain is not that strong after as traditional liposuction. Inflammation can occur after the surgery and if you feel any symptoms of infection, you should see your doctor. Five to seven days after the surgery, you will have to see your doctor.
Patients may be advised to have post-surgery check-ups with their surgeon to answer any questions that arise and to ensure that the healing process is moving forth accordingly. It is important to remember that the healing process is gradual and results cannot be expected instantly. The patient will need to exercise and maintain a healthy diet to experience the best results.
