What is liposuction?

While patients may lose weight with liposuction, the procedure is primarily performed to rid the body of stubborn fat, creating well-proportioned curves free from bumps and bulges. During treatment, a small incision is made in the targeted area, through which Dr. Engineer will thread a slender tube known as a cannula. Fat cells are then suctioned out of the body and either discarded or saved for a future fat transfer procedure. Liposuction is often an add-on procedure paired with a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or arm lift, as it can refine and enhance surgical results by trimming pockets of stubborn fat in the torso. It can also slim the submental region, eradicating a double chin for a more youthful and attractive profile.

Liposuction can be used in the following regions:

Stomach
Back
Hips
Waist
Buttocks
Thighs
Ankles
Arms
Chest
Neck
Chin

What are the different types of liposuction available in Henderson, NV?

As a highly skilled body contouring specialist, Dr. Engineer has a wealth of techniques to draw upon when performing your custom liposuction in Henderson, NV. He will choose the best approach based on your unique goals, concerns, and comfort levels. Liposuction techniques include:

Tumescent liposuction

A solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is used to emulsify the fat prior to removal, reducing postoperative bruising and soreness.

SmartLipo

SmartLipo relies on the power of laser energy to liquify stubborn fat before removal with a cannula. A side benefit is enhanced collagen production, which leads to tighter, firmer skin.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction

Here, gentle ultrasound energy is used to soften and break down fat cells, making it easier for Dr. Engineer to remove them. This approach is ideal for difficult-to-reach areas such as the knees, ankles, and submental region.

What are the benefits of liposuction?

There are multiple reasons – cosmetic, social, and emotional – why patients love their liposuction results. For those who have tried traditional means of body sculpting in the past but have still not achieved their aesthetic goals, liposuction may be the missing link that finally allows patients to look and feel their best. Benefits include:

Allows patients to enjoy a wider range of clothing and swimwear choices
Trims stubborn fat that does not respond to dieting or exercise
Enhances results from other surgical procedures
Reshapes the body after pregnancy, childbirth, or aging
Increases self-confidence and well-being

Dr. Engineer provides a detailed aftercare plan with instructions for wound care, bathing and showering, sleeping, resuming exercise, and returning to work.

FAQ

Will gaining weight affect my results?

Many patients feel more energized after liposuction and end up seeing better results at the gym. If you do gain weight, you will still retain a more shapely figure in the areas treated by liposuction but you may see bulges arise in other regions of the body.

Is there scarring with liposuction?

The incisions used with liposuction are typically small and inconspicuous, with scars fading over time. Dr. Engineer does everything possible to minimize the appearance of scars through conservative techniques and careful incision placement. Staying out of the sun’s harmful rays is essential, as exposure can increase discoloration.

Can liposuction be paired with other procedures?

Yes. Liposuction is often used in combination with an arm lift, thigh lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, and other cosmetic procedures to refine your results. Anywhere that excess stubborn fat is a problem, liposuction can be used to slim and tone the region.

How long does swelling last after liposuction?

Swelling is a normal part of the healing process and can last several weeks to a few months, depending on the extent of the procedure. Dr. Engineer will provide you with compression garments and post-operative instructions to help reduce swelling and improve your overall results.

Can liposuction remove cellulite?

Liposuction is designed to remove fat deposits but does not specifically target cellulite, as this is related to connective tissue beneath the skin. However, Dr. Engineer can discuss complementary treatments, such as skin tightening or cellulite reduction therapies, to achieve a smoother overall appearance.
