Results of Your Liposuction

Liposuction surgery will reduce those areas of fatty deposits that previously created unflattering bulges and perhaps made it difficult to feel comfortable in your clothing or caused self-consciousness. Factors such as fluid retention following surgery and prolonged swelling may delay the appearance of your new, slimmer contour and postpone liposuction recovery. The healing process is gradual, so you should expect to wait a while before fully enjoying the results of your liposuction.

Occasionally, a touchup may be desired to further improve an area that has been suctioned. The additional treatment can sometimes be performed under local anesthesia in your plastic surgeon's office. More extensive revisions may require a return to the operating room.

How long will the results last?

The results of liposuction will be permanent, as long as you maintain your postoperative weight. Even if you gain a few extra pounds, you may find that the weight is distributed more evenly instead of accumulating in the areas that were problematic for you in the past.

Post Surgical Care

Liposuction recovery can be enhanced and results can be maintained with the use of certain clinical skin care products. Dr. Speron recommends neaclear Liquid Oxygen Firming Body Lotion, to smooth and firm the skin, along with Rejuvenating Body Scrub to gently scrub away dead skin cells and other impurities. He also recommends neaclear^plus Liquid Oxygen Scar Advantage to reduce the appearance of post surgical scars.

Maintaining a Relationship with Your Plastic Surgeon

You will return to your plastic surgeon's office for follow-up care at prescribed intervals, at which time your progress will be evaluated. Your surgeon will encourage you to schedule routine follow-up evaluations at the frequency recommended for your age group and the procedure performed.

Please remember that the relationship with your plastic surgeon does not end when you leave the operating room. If you have questions or concerns during your recovery, or need additional information at a later time, you should contact your surgeon.
