Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat with Liposuction at Healing Waters in Wichita, KS.

Some individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise still develop and retain undesirable body fat in specific areas. Liposuction can be an effective way to create better proportions and an improved appearance.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction (popularly referred to as Lipo) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that targets and removes excess fat from specific body areas. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the targeted area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out the excess fat. It is designed to help individuals achieve a more sculpted and toned appearance by removing stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise.

About the Liposuction Techniques

Liposuction surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made, and thin surgical tubes (cannulas) are guided through layers of fat to break up the fat cells. The fat is removed by suction. Liposuction may also be combined with additional plastic surgery procedures, such as a tummy tuck, breast reduction, or facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate?

Ideal candidates for liposuction are nonsmoking, in good health, fit for surgery, have good skin elasticity and tone, and have disproportionate body contours due to fat deposits.

After liposuction, the skin will tighten and re-conform to the remaining layer of fat. In certain instances where skin lacks elasticity, loose skin is unable to tighten, and skin folds can develop. In some cases, revision surgery may be indicated.

Other potential complications that can arise include bleeding, excess fluid accumulation, infection, unwanted scarring, asymmetry, contour irregularities, or complications associated with anesthesia. Risks will vary based on the recommended procedures included in your transformation. Dr. Rieger will thoroughly review your health, lifestyle, and risk to determine your candidacy and options.

Following surgery, you can expect swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort that can be managed with rest and medication. It is recommended that patients wear a compression garment as directed by Dr. Rieger. Many patients can resume work and light exercise in approximately two weeks. The best results can take up to six months to settle into their natural look.

Liposuction is an effective option for stubborn fat pockets on the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, arms, hips, back, knees, neck, jawline, and more. It can be a great way to remove belly fat after pregnancy, “love handles,” “saddlebags,” bra rolls, or other problem areas resistant to diet and exercise.

Fat cells removed by liposuction cannot grow back, allowing for improved contour in treated areas. The remaining fat cells in the body can still increase in size if you gain weight, altering your proportions. Maintaining good nutrition and exercise habits to help preserve your improved figure.

Heredity, aging, pregnancy, and hormones can all influence cellulite development. Liposuction is not designed to treat cellulite, as it removes deep fat rather than cellulite that forms just below the skin’s surface.

Liposuction is often performed in tandem with other body contouring procedures. Popular combinations include liposuction as part of a tummy tuck, facelift, or male or female breast reduction (non-glandular). Combining procedures can remove excess skin and tighten after fat is removed for better contouring.

During the liposuction procedure, the small incisions are carefully placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The resulting scars are likely to be small and should fade very well with time.
