Understanding Liposuction: A Comprehensive Body Contouring Solution

For many women, traditional diet and exercise methods often fall short of eliminating persistent fat deposits in challenging areas like the lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, cheeks, and neck. Power-assisted liposuction provides an advanced solution for reshaping body contours by precisely removing excess fat deposits located between skin and muscle layers.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

Dr. Theunissen identifies the most suitable liposuction candidates as women who:

• Cannot eliminate stubborn fat in specific trouble areas
• Find dieting and exercise ineffective for body toning
• Experience disproportionate body areas

Surgical Technique and Procedure Overview

Liposuction at Theunissen Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Using a specialized cannula device, surgeons carefully loosen and remove targeted fat cells through small, precise incisions. The procedure's length varies depending on the amount of fat requiring removal and the desired body contouring results.

Procedure Details and Recovery

After the liposuction procedure, patients are advised to wear a compression garment to help the body adjust to its new shape. Initial bruising and swelling typically subside within seven days, though final results may take several months to fully manifest. The procedure can be performed independently or combined with complementary body sculpting techniques.

Cost and Considerations

Liposuction costs in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, typically range from $2,500 to $12,000, depending on the procedure's complexity and scope. As a cosmetic procedure, liposuction is generally not covered by insurance. Dr. Theunissen performs the surgery in a state-of-the-art, in-office operating room with experienced staff and a full-time anesthesiologist.

Important Patient Considerations

While liposuction effectively removes fat cells, patients must maintain realistic expectations. The procedure targets fat reduction but does not inherently tighten skin. Some patients may require additional procedures like a tummy tuck or arm lift to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.
