Common Questions About Body Contouring with Liposuction

Body contouring

If you are someone who has been frustrated with your results with diet and exercise, you may be considering taking the next step. Body contouring with liposuction can be a great method of finally reaching your body goals. This straightforward method of plastic surgery has a lot to offer. If you are on the fence about pursuing this option due to uncertainty about how it works, we can address some of the most common questions people have.

Are All Liposuction Procedures the Same?

The short answer to this question is no. As medical and scientific advancements have been made, new techniques have been developed. Different techniques have been developed for breaking up the fat prior to removal, which makes recovery easier on the body. The first step in the liposuction process is to have a consultation, where we can discuss your body goals and talk about which methods may be right for you.

How Much Fat Can Be Removed at One Time?

There are limits on how much fat can be removed at once. This is why liposuction is better-suited for body contouring than for dramatic weight loss. If too much fat is removed at once, your risk for complications gets much higher. It can also leave you with dimpled, sagging skin.

Who is a Good Candidate for Body Contouring with Liposuction?

This procedure is meant for those who are at or very near their weight goals. It is designed to help remove stubborn pockets of fat that have not gone away with exercise and diet. As with any surgery, it is important to be in good general health. Being a non-smoker also helps speed up recovery and reduce the risk of complications. At your consultation, your health history will be discussed to ensure that you are a good candidate for liposuction.

Are the Results Permanent?

Fat cells that are removed through liposuction will never come back. That being said, the results are only permanent if you are dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. If you do begin to gain weight, it will likely start accumulating in untreated areas. Eventually, however, the remaining fat cells in the treated areas will begin to grow. In order to get the most out of body contouring with liposuction, it is important to eat right and get adequate exercise.

Learn more about how body contouring with liposuction works and whether or not it is right for you by contacting Franklin Skin and Laser. Scheduling a consultation at one of our offices in Franklin is the first step on the road toward the body of your dreams. We will gladly answer any remaining questions you may have and develop a treatment plan customized to fit your wants and needs. Contact us today to book your appointment!

I’ve always had a wonderful experience every visit! It’s been over a year since I’ve been coming for all my appointments and everyone is always so pleasant and helpful. Would highly recommend Franklin skin & laser for all of your needs/wants. They have the best staff and the location is always so sanitary.

Recently I had a wonderful experience with my first visit to Franklin Skin and Laser. My appointment was for a second opinion for a cyst which needed to be removed. Dr. B quickly realized I was in an acute situation, and the process of removal needed to be started immediately. Due to incorrect guidance from another doctor office, I was in a potentially dangerous situation. Dr. B explained to me the process, making sure I understood the procedure. He made sure all my questions were answered, and he helped ease all my concerns as he carefully explained the entire process from start to finish. I felt totally comfortable with his expertise. Marie assisted Dr. B, and she was so sweet to me through the procedure. I have worked with cosmetic surgeons in the past, and can honestly say Dr. B is a rare find. He truly cares about his patients, and it shows in his work and also in his interaction with patients. He was thorough and meticulous with my entire procedure. I am so thankful to find him. His staff is awesome, and like Dr. B they genuinely care. I left knowing how to reach the doctor after hours, if needed. I would highly recommend Dr. B, and plan to talk with him about another procedure once completed with this one.

Amazing! Doctor is so knowledgeable and so thorough. I’ve been to many dermatologists in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills and he ranks right up there amongst the best !
