about the procedure
Routinely, liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Andres uses IV sedation or general anesthesia, which is carefully delivered under the care of a board-certified anesthesiologist. There have been several improvements to liposuction, which has made fat removal far more accessible, and overall much easier. These methods include vibration, ultrasound and laser energy. In any routine liposuction surgery, it involves injecting a tumescent solution directly into the desired area of fat, so as to numb the area as well as making the targeted fat firmer. Dr. Andres shall make several small incisions, only extending a few millimeters in length. Through these incisions, Dr. Andres will be able to gently suction the unwanted fat out, by employing what is called a cannula. This technique improves patient comfort, reduces bruising and swelling, and allows for better precision. Dr. Andres makes it his goal to deliver some of the best liposuction Scottsdale can provide.
During Recovery
Once out of surgery, the treated areas are carefully wrapped in elastic compression bandages, so as to minimize swelling and encourage proper healing. These bandages should be worn consistently for the first 4 to 6 weeks. After your liposuction surgery, for approximately 24 to 48 hours, the tumescent fluid helps provide pain relief. Cold compresses or oral pain medication can help with managing any pain, bruising, and swelling that you may experience. Generally, most patients feel able to go back to work and other day-to-day activities after a week or so. That being said, this timeline can fluctuate depending on the exact areas that are treated for liposuction, as well as the extent of fat removed. A feeling of numbness in the treated areas is completely normal, and will diminish within a few weeks.
