Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction is an advanced surgical method for slimming and reshaping specific body areas by removing stubborn fat deposits. This body contouring procedure allows patients to refine their physique by targeting resistant fat pockets that typically do not respond to diet and exercise.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is most effective for individuals with localized fat deposits and good skin elasticity. The procedure is designed to sculpt specific body regions rather than serve as a comprehensive weight loss solution. Younger patients with more elastic skin typically experience optimal results.

Common Treatment Areas

Thighs
Stomach
Back
Flanks
Knees
Neck
Chin

Surgical Procedure Details

During liposuction, surgeons use a slender stainless steel cannula inserted through small incisions to loosen and remove fat deposits. The procedure physically eliminates fat cells, creating permanent changes in body contour when maintained through stable weight.

Fat Removal and Body Proportions

Liposuction can safely remove up to 5 pounds of fat, producing more dramatic body transformations compared to traditional weight loss methods. Patients should understand that while the procedure can significantly improve body proportions, it cannot completely redesign one's physique.

Recovery and Results

Post-procedure recovery typically allows patients to return to work within two days. Initial swelling subsides in two to eight weeks, with final results becoming apparent around six months after surgery. Maintaining a stable weight is crucial for preserving liposuction results.

Procedure Combinations

Liposuction can be effectively combined with other body contouring procedures like tummy tucks, arm lifts, and breast enhancement treatments to optimize aesthetic outcomes.

If you want good results, DO NOT go to this doctor! I think he cares more about his pride then his patients! 3 weeks ago I saw Dr Hess for injections. The office gave me a quote of $11 per unit for Xeomin. The first thing I thought was strange was he did not do any of the markings on the face like other injectors. My previous injectors treated under my eye and when I asked him about injecting into the "jelly roll", he did not even know what that meant. I told him my concerns (Crow feet and 11's) and he decided to treat the 11's, the crow's feet and my forehead. He did not want to touch the brows, which had a nice lift and arch to them already. When I search google it says "if you treat the forehead with botox/xeomin you should treat the brows" but he choose not to. A week passed, and one eyebrow turned out to be a spock brow and the other brow had dropped, was hooded and very puffy. So, I had to wear double eyelid tape to hold it up a little. I made another appointment with him, told him what had happened. He said he did not see what I was talking about. He didn't even know what hooded or double eyelid tape was. I was literally in shock. I didn't know how he couldn't see what was wrong. My brows were nice and lifted before he worked on me. He continued to be rude and condescending. He made an excuse that my brows weren't even to begin with. I told him "well, they weren't like this"! I even said that my mother-in-law was giving me weird looks trying to figure out what was wrong with my face. He said "Well, maybe she's weird"! I practically had to beg him to fix it! He finally agreed to fix the dropped eyebrow and put 5 units under the brow. He said he will not treat the spock brow. I had to payed $63 for the touch up and it looks like the office lied about the price per unit. Also, I think he watered down that injection, it hardly did a thing and is still significantly hooded. This doctor is a crook, and not very professional. Do not go to him because if you do and there is something you are not happy with he is basically going to laugh in your face. Now I have to wait a couple months for this unnatural angry look on my face to go away.

Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Katie in the front office has been a dream to work with. She is very pleasant and I enjoyed our little conversations every time I visited the office. Dr Hess is very personable and knowledgeable. I like that he is very straightforward and gives realistic expectations. He is down to earth with a friendly and caring demeanor. I had visited other places before deciding on my procedure and wanted to make sure I chose the right doctor. I knew before I left the appointment with Dr Hess that I would be scheduling with him.

Just had my surgery yesterday 09/26/2022 All I can is wow , Dr.Hess is amazing at his job! Had a tummy tuck and liposuction and he gave me the hourglass shape I have always wanted! After 2 sections and working out so much, I could not achieve the body of my dreams just with exercise alone! It has only been less than 36 hrs and I feel great and look great! I know it will only look so much better with time as the swelling goes down . I'm so grateful for doing this surgery as, it's all I have ever wanted and even more. Love my new body 😍 forever grateful for finding the best surgeon and blessing me with my new body! Thank you so much Dr.Hess!

I highly recommend Dr. Hess. He was very professional and also his staff was very helpful about the whole process and procedure. They were very thorough on explaining what was expected pre and post surgery. The office was very clean and you won’t find any other office that would make you feel comfortable as soon you enter the door.
