This young woman wanted to improve the contour of her abdomen and waist. General anesthesia is not required for procedures like this, and you can expect to be back at work in about two days – weekend recovery is a popular option.
Individual results may vary.
This gentleman wanted to improve the contour of his abdomen and chest. We achieved this result with gynecomastia reduction, liposuction, and radiofrequency skin tightening with BodyTite. This kind of procedure can be performed on a Friday so you can be back at work on Monday.
Individual results may vary.
This is a woman in her 60's who wanted a smaller, tighter abdomen without undergoing a full abdominoplasty. This result was achieved with BodyTite radiofrequency energy and liposuction using just a few 3mm incisions. Most patients can return to work 48 hours after this procedure.
Individual results may vary.
This woman wanted to improve the appearance of her double chin and improve the contour of her jawline. She is shown before and after liposuction and skin tightening with FaceTite. This procedure can be performed in under an hour with local anesthesia. Recovery is comfortable and a return to work in 48 hours is a reasonable expectation.
Individual results may vary.
This is a woman shown before and after liposuction to eliminate her back roll.
Individual results may vary.
This is a woman shown before and after arm and axillary liposuction shown from the side view.
Individual results may vary.
By the end of week two, your obvious swelling and bruising will be gone. . Most liposuction patients that we treat will not have much if any remaining discomfort at this point.
Be sure to wear your compression garments to help with the swelling if so advised by Dr. Smith. Exact compression instructions will depend on the procedure performed.
1-2 weeks after liposuction, you may have some remaining light bruising. You will not see much change in your contour at this point.
This patient is shown before and 1 week after liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. Note residual swelling and bruising. Minimal changes in contour at this point.
During weeks 3 to 5, you generally won’t feel like you’ve had surgery at all. You shouldn’t have any more soreness, but you may still have swelling in the treatment area. This swelling may not be obvious at this point, but it may not allow you to see your full results for up to six months after your procedure. Essentially, this is also the point in your recovery where you’ll begin to notice the early results of your surgery. Most patients will be back to a full workout by this point, but we recommend that our patients let their comfort be their guide. Everyone recovers at a different rate.
3-5 weeks after liposuction, your bruising will be gone and you will start to see a nice change in your shape.
This is the same patient as above shown before and 3 weeks after liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. Swelling and bruising are resolving, and we can begin to see a change in contour.
After the six-week mark, minor swelling may still persist, but you will begin to get a sense of your new shape. At this point, almost all of our patients are out of compression garments and not subject to any activity restrictions.
By 6 weeks and beyond, you will start to see a significant improvment, with near-final results visible by about 12 weeks in most cases.
