Body Contouring Liposuction | Albuquerque, NM

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a sophisticated body contouring procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck. While not a substitute for diet and exercise, liposuction effectively targets stubborn fat deposits resistant to traditional weight-loss methods.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The most suitable liposuction candidates are individuals who:

• Maintain a normal body weight
• Possess firm, elastic skin
• Have localized fat pockets
• Are physically healthy
• Have realistic expectations

Advanced Surgical Technique

Liposuction procedures at Albuquerque Center For Plastic Surgery PC are performed with precision and patient safety as primary considerations. The surgical approach varies depending on the treatment area and volume of fat removal.

Procedural Details

The procedure typically occurs in an outpatient surgery center or hospital setting. Smaller volume liposuction is generally conducted on an outpatient basis, while larger fat removal may require hospital admission. General anesthesia ensures patient comfort and safety throughout the surgical process.

Recovery and Results

Recovery is a gradual process with individual variations. Patients can typically begin moderate activity within one to two weeks post-procedure. A snug elastic garment is worn over the treated area for approximately six weeks to support healing.

Expected Outcomes

Noticeable body shape improvements are often apparent shortly after surgery. Optimal results become more evident after four to six weeks when swelling subsides. Most swelling typically resolves within three months, revealing the final body contour.

Maintaining Your Results

Patients can optimize and maintain their surgical results through healthy lifestyle choices, including balanced nutrition and regular exercise. Realistic expectations and commitment to post-surgical guidance contribute to long-lasting body contouring outcomes.
