Liposuction surgery sculpts your body, eliminating unwanted pockets of exercise and diet- resistant fat from the buttocks, hips, love handles, thighs, breasts (including male breasts), back, arms and neck. Liposuction is often combined with other procedures to create a desired shape and is one of the safest and most popular cosmetic procedures. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from your body, as these fat cells will not grow back. However, it is important to maintain a stable weight to ensure that your new look remains optimal. If you gain a significant amount of weight in the future, your overall appearance is likely to change as your body stores excess fat in other locations and the remaining fat cells in the liposuctioned area can grow larger.
Who is a good candidate?
- Non-smokers
- Individuals in generally good health without conditions that impair wound healing
- Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
- Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic expectations
Downtime
You can expect 5-7 days of downtime.
Recovery
When the procedure is performed by a qualified cosmetic surgeon, recovery from liposuction can be remarkably quick. Many patients return to work just a few days after their procedures, depending on the physical requirements of their jobs and the extent of their procedures. You will receive a compression garment to wear for a few weeks following surgery, which helps to minimize swelling and encourage optimal skin contraction.
The premier provider of Vaser Liposuction + Renuvion in Nebraska
Dr. Jacobson is the only provider in Lincoln Nebraska to offer state-of-the-art technologies to elevate outcomes in body contouring patients, such as high-definition liposuction. Contour irregularity (lumps and bumps) and skin laxity following liposuction are among the most unwanted outcomes in body sculpting. By using Vaser + Renuvion on all of our liposuction patients, these complications can not only be avoided, but outcomes can also be optimized intraoperatively.
VASER Liposuction
VaserLipo utilizes ultrasound energy for minimally invasive aesthetic body contouring that yields dramatic results with less pain and downtime than traditional liposuction. The use of Vaser fat emulsification allows for an even and smooth removal of fat, which is then further optimized by Renuvion J-plasma skin tightening.
Renuvion
Renuvion provides leading-edge technology in intraoperative skin tightening, using radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to create controlled coagulation and contraction of soft tissue below the skin. Loose skin after removal of fat is one of the most unwanted outcomes after liposuction. By using Renuvion intraoperatively, there is an immediate contraction of the fibroseptal network, which continues to induce skin tightening through collagen production for the next several months postoperatively.
