Liposculpting (or lipoplasty) is a body-sculpting procedure to remove fat that is unresponsive to dieting and exercising. This procedure can be applied to nearly any area of the body and is commonly used on multiple areas during an operation. Liposculpting results in a slimmer and better proportioned figure. Liposculpting is used effectively to reduce love handles, saddlebags, a double-chin, a bulge around the waistline, or other unsightly fatty deposits in order to develop a better shape and create a more beautiful body.
Reasons for Considering Liposculpting:
-
Eliminate fat from any of the following areas:
-
Chin and Neckline
-
Back
-
Upper Arms
-
Stomach and Waistline
-
Hips and Buttocks
-
Thighs and Knees
-
Calves and Ankles
-
-
Create a more proportioned figure
Liposculpting is not a replacement for proper exercise and diet. Instead, Liposculpting is a reduction procedure for stubborn areas where fat accumulates. Used in combination with several areas of the body, Liposculpting can provide a well proportioned body appearance. Ideal surgical candidates are those already in good physical condition but having stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.
General Procedure
Liposculpting can be done under general anesthesia with the patient asleep or under local anesthesia where the area is numbed and the patient remains awake. Through a tiny incision, a narrow tube or “cannula” is inserted and used to vacuum out the fatty tissue beneath the skin. The surgeon determines the amount of fat to be removed by massaging the skin and squeezing the tissue. After eliminating the excess fat, the incisions are closed by applying a compression dressing or bandage to the area in order to prevent bleeding, reduce swelling, and support the affected area.
There are several different types of Liposculpting procedures, such as tumescent or ultrasound Liposculpting, that have developed as a result of recent advancements in new technologies. Together the patient and the surgeon can discuss which method(s) are best during the initial consultation visit. Liposculpting can last from thirty minutes to several hours depending upon the amount of fat to be removed. Surgery is an excellent procedure that can benefit those who want to remove unattractive fatty deposits.
Recovery Process
New techniques allow for faster recovery from Liposculpting procedures. The length of the recovery will depend on how extensive of an operation the patient undergoes. Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and reduce the recovery time. A support garment may need to be worn for several weeks after the surgery, depending upon which area(s) are selected to utilize the Liposculpting procedure. Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with surgery which can be treated effectively with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize the risk for potential problems by carefully following the directions given after surgery.

Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS
by BARBARA M.
Category: reviewsI was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.
Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

Category: reviewsThere are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!
