Sobre mi
Liposuction surgery is performed under some type of anesthesia. Depending on the treatment area and procedure, we will use IV sedation, local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Once you have been safely sedated and brought back to an operating room, Dr. Widder and our team will employ your chosen method of liposuction. You will be free to return home after your liposuction procedure is finished and your incisions are closed.
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, so depending on your unique circumstances, we will send you home in bandages or a compression garment. Dr. Widder will also prescribe medications to soothe any lingering discomfort. In some cases, we may use temporary surgical drains to reduce swelling and fluid retention.
There will be some swelling, tenderness, and fluid retention, but these will subside. Your results will gradually show over the next three weeks as your body heals, and it will take about 2-3 months for the final results to be apparent. Most people are able to resume non-strenuous work after a few days, and many can exercise regularly within about a month.
