Understanding Liposuction: A Precision Body Contouring Technique

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve body contours by removing unwanted fat deposits beneath the skin. Typically performed under general anesthesia, this procedure can also be conducted with IV sedation or local anesthesia depending on the specific treatment area.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is most suitable for healthy individuals with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include:

• Abdomen and love handles
• Upper back
• Thighs
• Jaw line and throat area (with skin resilience considerations)

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Eich performs liposuction in an accredited plastic surgery suite, utilizing general anesthesia for patient comfort. The procedure involves carefully injecting fluid to minimize blood loss, creating minimal incisions, and extracting fat using a specialized cannula technique.

Procedure Duration and Recovery

Liposuction is typically a same-day procedure lasting between 1-2 hours. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment for 4-6 weeks and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial healing period.

Recovery Timeline

• Initial bruising and swelling peaks within first two weeks
• Complete surgical outcomes may take up to six months to fully manifest
• Most patients resume normal activities after four weeks
