As we leave the holiday season behind us and start looking ahead on the new year’s calendar, summer no longer feels as far away. If you’re dreading your bathing suit look, liposuction could be the perfect option to help you feel more confident in your own body for those upcoming trips to the beach!
Summer Body Prep at Banis, Prescott Plastic Surgery
If you are considering body contouring like liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures, the best option in the Louisville, Kentucky, area is Banis, Prescott Plastic Surgery. With advanced liposuction techniques, Dr. Joseph C. Banis, Jr. and Dr. Angela Prescott routinely perform stubborn fat removal for patients with the aid of over 55 years of combined experience.
During your consultation with Dr. Banis or Dr. Prescott, he or she will examine your medical history and bodily contours to determine if a fat removal procedure like liposuction is the best option for your individual needs. If it is, we can then discuss how to prepare your body for summer with liposuction.
How Does Liposuction Work?
With liposuction, we can remove localized pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike weight loss surgery, liposuction is designed to reshape and refine specific areas, creating a more proportional and sculpted appearance. Using a cannula through a tiny incision, your surgeon will carefully target unwanted fat tissue, breaking it down and then removing it.
Which Areas of the Body Can it Be Used to Treat?
At Banis, Prescott Plastic Surgery, liposuction surgery can be performed on one or more of the following areas of the body for a slimmer, refined appearance:
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Knees
- Arms
How Long Until I’m Enjoying My New Look?
After liposuction, most patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Many patients return to light activities within a few days and resume regular exercise in about two weeks or as directed by your physician. Full results become visible as the swelling diminishes, usually within three to six months, revealing a smoother and more contoured physique just in time for summer.
Can I Combine Liposuction With Other Treatments?
To get your body summer-ready, you might also consider combining liposuction with other cosmetic treatments, such as a tummy tuck, fat grafting, breast augmentation, or breast lift (Mastopexy). A tummy tuck is excellent for providing a flatter and firmer midsection, especially for patients with loose abdominal skin or weakened muscles after weight loss or pregnancy.
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, also pairs perfectly with liposuction! Here, the fat removed during liposuction is purified and then used to augment areas like the buttocks, chin, under-eye hollows, or lips.
