Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a sophisticated body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits resistant to traditional diet and exercise methods. Dr. Luu Doan specializes in targeted fat removal techniques that sculpt and refine body aesthetics.

Treatable Body Areas for Liposuction

• Abdominal regions (upper and lower abdomen)
• Love handles and flanks
• Thighs (inner and outer)
• Upper arms
• Neck and chin areas
• Back regions
• Male chest

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

Optimal candidates for liposuction exhibit mild to moderate fat excess, possess good skin elasticity, maintain an active lifestyle, and demonstrate commitment to healthy dietary practices. The advanced tumescent technique minimizes blood loss, reduces recovery time, and decreases bruising and swelling.

Surgical Procedure Details

Performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, liposuction involves strategically placed incisions less than one centimeter long. Dr. Doan uses specialized cannulas and tumescent solution to precisely remove subcutaneous fat while maintaining smooth, natural contours.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery typically involves wearing compression garments for six weeks. Most patients return to work within one week and resume normal exercise routines by six weeks. Complete healing and swelling resolution occurs over 3-4 months.

Potential Complications

• Rare risks include pulmonary thromboemboli
• Potential fat embolism
• Possible contour irregularities
• Potential asymmetry
