Liposuction: Advanced Fat Reduction at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics

Comprehensive Consultation with Dr. Sarah Holland

At Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, Dr. Sarah Holland conducts thorough liposuction consultations. She evaluates each patient's medical history and aesthetic goals, discussing treatable areas such as the abdomen, thighs, submental region, and arms. Dr. Holland may explore combining liposuction with other procedures like tummy tucks for enhanced results. If skin tightening is necessary, Dr. Holland determines this during the consultation.

Dr. Holland assesses whether the procedure can be performed in-office under local anesthesia or in the operating room under general anesthesia. Factors considered include fat volume to be removed, treatment areas, and patient comfort. Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics ensures patients feel safe and comfortable throughout the process.

What to Expect During Liposuction

Patients at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics receive personalized care throughout their liposuction journey. Following the initial consultation, pre-operative instructions are provided. Surgery takes place at an accredited outpatient surgical center. Post-surgery, patients attend follow-up appointments for monitoring and care. Recovery involves managing discomfort and swelling, with gradual improvement in body contour over several weeks. The experienced medical team at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics provides guidance and support to ensure a positive experience and satisfying outcome.

Important Considerations for Liposuction

• Maximum discomfort occurs in the first few days post-procedure, gradually subsiding thereafter.
• Expect bruising, with more extensive liposuction resulting in more bruising. Individual bruising tendencies vary.
• Compression wear must be worn continuously for 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
• Plan for 5-7 days off work, with additional time for physically demanding jobs.

Liposuction Procedure at Holland Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics

Dr. Holland can perform small volume areas in-office under local anesthetic, while larger volumes are addressed in the operating room.
