Liposuction / Liposculpture - Male and Female Body Contouring View Greensboro Liposuction Before & After Pictures What is Body Contouring Liposuction? Throughout Greensborough, NC body contouring, or liposuction, is commonly performed to remove fat cells beneath the skin in order to shape areas of the body. The procedure can be performed nearly anywhere on the body and has proven particularly effective in the abdomen, waist, hips, and thighs. It can also be used on the arms, buttocks and knees. Who is a Candidate for Body Contouring Liposuction? The ideal candidate for body contouring is the individual who has specific areas of fat deposits and has tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise, and/or weight loss. This procedure is suitable for both men and women who are in good general health. Dr. Coley of Greensboro, North Carolina can help you decide if this procedure is right for you and will achieve the results you are looking for. How is Body Contouring Liposuction Performed? Prior to your liposuction procedure the areas to be treated are carefully marked. Small punctures in the skin are used to inject fluids into the treatment areas. These fluids are designed to numb the area, limit blood loss and reduce discomfort. Fine cannulas are then used to suction out excess and unwanted fat from the desired area(s), and contour the body. Body contouring is well suited for an outpatient facility such as Dr. Coley"s in Greensboro. The surgery is performed with local or general anesthesia. The length of the surgery depends on the number and size of areas being treated. Before Body Contouring Liposuction During your consultation at his Greensboro office, Dr. Coley considers the objectives of the patient, problem areas and skin elasticity in making a recommendation for body contouring. Medical history and general health are also important considerations during the pre-operative visit. You will also be shown before and after pictures of Dr. Coley"s patients in the Greensboro area. Understanding the Recovery of Body Contouring Liposuction Elastic garments are worn for up to one week following the procedure. Fluid drains from the small punctures during the first few days following the surgery. Certain activities are restricted to aid in healing; however, most patients are able to engage in light activity the day after surgery. Normal activity can usually be resumed within a week. Before and After Photos of Body Contouring Liposuction The results of body contouring liposuction are often remarkable. Patients should understand, however, that irregularities and dimpling of the skin present before the procedure are likely to remain. While improving the overall shape of the body, the procedure does not necessarily improve cellulite. The fat that is removed during body contouring cannot return. A weight gain following this procedure will result in a more generalized heaviness with fewer tendencies for fat deposits in the treated area. Visit Dr. Coley for a consultation. You will be able to view Before and After Liposuction photos to help you visualize your results. Body Contouring Liposuction Recovery Because body contouring liposuction is often an outpatient procedure, recovery is very quick for most patients. You will be able to light activities within a few days or sooner. However, it takes some time for the skin to tighten and the final result to be apparent. Final results may take six months.
