Liposuction Candidates

If you are considering liposuction, you should be in good general health and have realistic expectations from surgery. Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery; rather, it is a tool to reduce targeted areas of fat. Your skin should have good tone and elasticity, as it is important for your skin to conform to your new curves after liposuction. Dr. Prysi serves patients all over Southwest Florida. He will meet with you personally at his Naples, FL office to discuss the procedure in detail, and to ascertain your motivation for surgery, as well as your goals. If you are planning to become pregnant, you may choose to wait until after you are done having children, as pregnancy can affect your liposuction results.

The Liposuction Procedure in Naples

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that takes several hours. Anesthesia is used to prevent you from feeling any pain. Liposuction can be performed on the following areas of your body:

  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Back
  • Neck
  • Male breast area
  • Hips
  • Love handles

Dr. Prysi begins by making a small incision in the treatment area. He inserts a thin, hollow tube called a cannula through the incisions and moves it back and forth, breaking up the fatty tissue. Then, using suction, he aspirates the fat cells. The incisions are closed with sutures. You may be advised to wear a compression garment to help “shrink” the skin after surgery and help it to hug your new curves. Liposuction is often performed on its own, but may also be part of other procedures such as mommy makeover or tummy tuck. Newer and more advanced forms of liposuction include the use of ultrasonic energy and tumescent liquid. Tumescent ultrasonic liposuction is advantageous for several reasons; first, the ultrasonic energy produces a skin tightening effect. Also, the tumescent liquid prevents significant blood loss, allowing Dr. Prysi more complete correction. If you’d like to learn more about tumescent ultrasonic liposuction, please inquire about the procedure at Dr. Prysi’s office in Naples, FL.

Recovering from Liposuction

You will have some soreness, swelling and bruising after liposuction surgery, but this will disappear with time. Dr. Prysi will prescribe an oral pain medication if you are in discomfort. It’s best to rest as much as possible in the days following your surgery, and avoid any bending, lifting or straining. Dr. Prysi will meet with you several times to check your healing, and he will clear you to return to work, exercise and your normal everyday routine.
