Liposuction

• Before your liposuction procedure, you will be administered an anesthetic to ensure your utmost comfort throughout the process. Dr. Zaluzec will review with you whether local or general anesthetic is the best option during your initial consultation.
• Small, inconspicuous incisions are placed to access areas of excess fat. Dr. Zaluzec will insert the tiny tube or cannula into these incisions and gently release the fat from the tissues. Once the liposuction is complete, Dr. Zaluzec will carefully close the incisions, apply bandages, and fit you with a customized compression garment to help control any swelling.

Advances in technology allow treatment of a wide range of areas of the face and body:

• Neck
• Double chin
• Chest
• Upper arms
• Back
• Buttocks
• Abdomen
• Flanks or “Love Handles”
• Bra line
• Thighs
• Knees
• Ankles

Dr. Zaluzec takes pride in offering a wide range of options to her patients. She also offers in-office procedures to assist with non-invasive fat reduction. These include CoolSculpting ® EmSculpt and EmTone ™.

You are a good candidate for Liposuction if you have been struggling with excess fat, despite diet and exercise. You should be close to your desired weight to achieve the best results. Unfortunately, Liposuction does not remove cellulite, but removes more extensive fat deposits around the desired area, creating a more attractive, youthful, sculpted body contour. As with most surgical procedures, you should be in good health and a non-smoker to undergo Liposuction.

• You will be fitted with a customized compression garment to help your results and achieve the best outcome.
• Patients can return to work and other regular activities as soon as they feel comfortable, which is usually after a few days. Exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks, or until Dr. Zaluzec clears you. The most important thing to do after surgery is to stay well - hydrated and to walk.
