FEATURED QUESTIONS
Question: I had the PureLipo™ liposuction procedure done almost 5 weeks ago on my "muffin top" and outer thighs. I have seen very little improvement. My doctor assures me I will notice soon but he promised me I'd notice by 4 weeks; now he is saying by 8 weeks. Why is it taking so long?
There are a lot of factors that dictate how quickly you might notice improvement after liposuction. Simply put, the more fat removed and the looser the skin to begin with, the longer it takes. I definitely have had some patients unhappy with liposuction at 4 weeks but then very pleased by 8 weeks. If the areas are still sensitive to touch and pressure, they have not finished healing yet so give it more time. Once more time has passed, if you are still unhappy, find out what your doctor's re-work policy is on liposuction.
Question: I work out a lot but I still have a little "pooch" around my middle. Can you help?
Those pooches are usually genetic and won't go away no matter the amount of weight loss or exercise. If you do manage to lose it with weight loss, the rest of you may look too thin. These areas are perfect for body sculpting using our personalized liposuction solution. It literally is sculpting your body into a more desirable shape and treating those problem areas that remain when the rest of you looks like you want. Learn more about our liposuction techniques with Custom Touch Liposculpture, which combines PureLipo liposuction™ and body jet™ liposuction. Also, check out our liposuction before and after images.
Question: I work in an office. How long will I need to take off of work if I have Custom Touch Liposculpture?
It can vary based on the areas treated using our liposuction techniques. Some patients return to work the next day. Rarely do you need more than 2 days, even with a large area worked. We schedule most liposuction procedures on Fridays to allow you the weekend to recover.
