Liposuction

Liposuction can give your body the contour you've always desired without ever seeing the inside of a gym. The tumescent technique for liposuction is an excellent method for contouring the abdomen, hips and thighs, back, and arms. Evaluation of your body and a discussion with Dr. Godat will yield an operative plan that will meet your desired aesthetic goals.

Liposuction can be done with sedation or under general anesthesia. An MD anesthesiologist will perform your anesthesia and an RN will monitor your recovery until you are ready to return home, the day of surgery. The procedure is performed with narrow cannulas that are inserted through 1/4 inch incisions. These tiny incisions are placed in discreet areas, and when fully healed, are not noticeable.

Return-to-work time is about three days, depending on the individual and the number of areas treated. A special garment is worn over the treated areas for three weeks. Bruising may take several more weeks to completely resolve. The body's contour will improve over several months. The full benefit of the surgery is seen at six months.
