Targeted Fat Removal in Petaluma
Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment but a body contouring procedure. The surgery addresses specific fatty areas that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise methods. Individual results can be influenced by factors such as physical condition, genetic makeup, lifestyle, and skin elasticity.
Surgical Procedure Details
Eiler Sommerhaug performs liposuction under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. The procedure involves making small, discreet incisions less than a half-inch long, through which a cannula is inserted and connected to a suction machine. The duration varies depending on the number of areas treated.
Recovery and Expectations
Post-procedure recovery involves wearing specialized compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing. Patients can typically return to office work within 3-5 days and resume full activities within 2-4 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common during the initial two-week recovery period.
Potential Procedure Outcomes
While liposuction can significantly improve body contours, results are not always permanent. Weight fluctuations can impact the long-term aesthetic outcome. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to preserve surgical results.
Potential Complications
- Contour irregularities
- Skin discoloration
- Asymmetry
- Temporary sensory changes
