Liposuction in Fairfax | Mark Domanski, MD

Overview of Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to surgically remove unwanted, excess fatty tissue and improve body contours. This precision technique can be performed on multiple areas including the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and neck.

Procedure Details

The liposuction process involves several key steps:

• Preoperative consultation and body area marking
• Administration of anesthesia (general or local with sedation)
• Tumescent solution injection to prepare treatment areas
• Precise fat removal using specialized cannula techniques
• Careful body contouring and sculpting
• Minimal incision closure

Benefits of Liposuction

• Permanent fat cell removal from targeted areas
• Enhanced body proportions and silhouette
• Improved self-confidence
• Customizable treatment for individual body goals

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

An ideal liposuction candidate typically:

• Is within 30% of their ideal body weight
• Possesses good skin elasticity
• Has localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Maintains overall good health
• Has realistic expectations about procedure outcomes

Recovery and Expectations

Liposuction generally requires 3-4 days of initial downtime. Patients will need to wear compression garments for four weeks following the procedure. Full results become visible approximately three months after surgery.

Potential Treatment Areas

• Abdomen
• Hips and flanks
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Back
• Upper arms
• Neck and chin

Risks and Considerations

While liposuction is generally safe, potential risks include temporary swelling, bruising, skin sensory changes, and rare complications like infection or fluid accumulation. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
