The important thing to note is that your skin should have great elasticity and a proper skin tone. In that case, the skin will look and feel smooth, which is exactly what you would expect. However, if the skin is not elastic and it’s thin, then the treated area might seem and even feel loose. It is always best to discuss this with Dr Chen in your first consultation.
Who is Brisbane liposuction for?
Liposuction is suitable for people that are healthy and without any underlying health problems. Immune system issues, diabetes, coronary disease, blood flow issues and so on; as it can be very problematic and thus you can could potentially have liposuction if you are dealing with these health issues; your treating Doctor will need to assess everything in your medical history before the procedure is to begin. Another thing to note is that liposuction doesn’t remove stretch marks, and it doesn’t work with skin that is dimpled by cellulite. Always be mindful to ask these questions with the Doctor.
Are there any risks?
Liposuction is generally safe, but like any surgery it has a few risks. Contour irregularities, internal puncture, fat embolism, fluid buildup and some temporary numbness can arise when you have this procedure. That’s why the doctor will require you to come back for a checkup and ensure everything is ok.
Are anesthetics needed?
Yes, liposuction generally requires anesthetics because numerous incisions are made in your skin to access body fat and remove it. The surgical team will also track your blood oxygen levels, blood pressure and heart rate during the entire procedure.
What can you expect after the procedure?
Since fat gets removed from your body, you can expect some bruising, swelling and pain after the procedure. The surgeon might also give you medicine to control the pain and also lower infection risks. In some cases, surgeons even leave the incisions open so you can drain any fluid accumulations.
