How Does Liposuction for Flanks Work?

Liposuction procedures have come a long way in the recent decades. Today, liposuction is considered a minimally-invasive surgery with limited scarring or downtime. Through the latest techniques, Dr. Lawton is able to minimize trauma to surrounding tissue and facilitate a smoother, faster recovery process.

Dr. Lawton performs liposuction procedures on an outpatient basis. Liposuction consists of making small incisions in well-hidden locations allowing a thin cannula tube to liquefy and remove stubborn fat cells on the flanks and abdomen. The entire procedure typically takes 1-4 hours to complete depending on the amount of fat removal needed. Most patients find the procedure comfortable with IV sedation, however, general anesthesia can also be used.

Liposuction: Recovery & Results

The recovery from liposuction procedures is fairly straightforward. You can expect anywhere from 1-2 weeks of downtime depending on the extent of your procedure. Most patients are able to get back to work within 1-week, and more strenuous activities in about 2-weeks. While some initial results can be seen immediately, some post-surgical swelling can mask the final outcome of your procedure.

CONSULTATIONS AVAILABLE NOW

The first step is to schedule an in-person consultation with Dr. Lawton or one of our trusted providers at Tenley K Lawton M.D. in Neport Beach, CA. Simply fill out the form on this page and we will reach out to you promptly to schedule your appointment.

An optimal outcome from liposuction procedures becomes more evident as the majority of swelling subsides over several weeks. You’ll see a smoother, firmer physique emerge over the course of several months. In most cases, liposuction is a one-time procedure that produces lifelong results you’ll love.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?

The ideal candidate for liposuction is an otherwise healthy adult with realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for them. Candidates for liposuction should be within 20-pounds of their weight goals. Liposuction may be worth considering if you’re bothered by excess fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise alone.

At the time of your in-person consultation, Dr. Lawton will speak with you about your concerns and goals before creating an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Lawton is a kind, understanding woman who provides exceptional patient-centric care in a warm, welcoming environment. She’ll work with you to ensure you get the results you want with the least invasive method possible.
