Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Sculpting

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is an advanced surgical technique designed to slim and reshape specific body areas by removing excess fat deposits. This procedure improves body contours, proportion, and ultimately enhances self-image for patients with localized fat accumulations.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

  • Individuals with good overall health
  • People with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
  • Patients seeking body proportion improvements
  • Those with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Areas Commonly Treated with Liposuction

  • Submental neck region
  • Anterior abdomen
  • Waist and flanks
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Back rolls and love handles

Procedure Overview: Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Thomassen Plastic Surgery employs sophisticated liposuction techniques involving precise fat removal through small incisions. A sterile liquid solution is first infused to minimize bleeding and swelling. A thin cannula is then used to dislodge and suction excess fat, creating smoother, more refined body contours.

Anesthesia and Surgical Approach

Depending on the procedure's complexity, patients may receive intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Minor procedures might utilize local anesthesia. The surgical team carefully selects the most appropriate approach for patient comfort and optimal results.

Recovery and Expected Outcomes

Post-procedure recovery involves wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks to manage swelling. Lymphatic massage may be recommended to accelerate healing and reduce persistent edema. Full results typically manifest after several months as swelling subsides.

Important Considerations

Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but a body contouring procedure. Ideal candidates maintain a stable weight and have good overall fitness. The goal is enhancing body proportion, not dramatic weight reduction.

Dr. Thomassen has done a few procedures for me over the years, and I can honestly say he is one of the best plastic surgeons in the country. Not only is he a skilled plastic surgeon, but he is a caring person. There's not enough positive things I can say about Dr. Thomassen or his staff. I highly recommend Dr. Thomassen and Thomassen Plastic Surgery.

He was the doctor selected by the hospital to perform a procedure on my father that had an injury and had gone to the ER. There was a delay in care because he was too busy to come to the hospital for TWO days. Then he never saw my father prior to or after the procedure. My father never met him. Then after the procedure he called and told my father to stop by his office after leaving the hospital for a follow up because he was busy and never went to the hospital. Horrible.

I highly recommend Dr. John Thomassen for any cosmetic surgery you are considering. I have seen many face lifts and Dr Thomassen’s are, by far, some of the best I’ve seen. Excellent results. He is brilliant and really nice.

Useless staff member told me this doctor won't see my wife b/c he has no privileges at the hospital where he actually saw her(!!) Hospital are also idiots for using this guy for the consult instead of an orthopedic hand specialist, but he did see her at her bedside and is on record for the consult, so what the heck is going on here?
