LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction

Naples Plastic Surgery

Genetics plays a major role in determining a person’s body type and in which areas of the body fat will be stored. Many patients struggle with stubborn fatty deposits that settle on their hips, buttocks, thighs, stomachs and/or arms. These trouble areas are often resistant to traditional diet and exercise weight-loss methods, which can cause emotional distress in many patients.

Liposuction is one of the only proven successful solutions for treating and eliminating these genetics-related problem areas. With liposuction our plastic surgeons, Dr. Leo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, or Dr. Andrew Bonett, can spot-reduce and remove localized fat deposits in patients to achieve slimmer, more balanced physiques.

Hi, I’m Dr. Bonett with Naples Plastic Surgery. Many patients have areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise and this can be very frustrating. This is where liposuction often comes in. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure and it has very little downtime. It can be done with very small scars, and sometimes we can even perform this awake in our procedure room. Common areas involve the neck, the lower abdomen, the flank or love handle area, or the inner or outer thighs.

It’s important to understand that liposuction is not a generalized weight loss method, but it can remove stubborn fat. One of the key things about liposuction is that the skin overlying the fat needs to have good elasticity and be able to snap back after the fat is removed if you already have a lot of excess skin we may need to talk about a different procedure such as a lift.

After liposuction you may be able to go back to your normal activities within a few days and then exercising again in two to 3 weeks. We’ll talk about all the different options during your consultation to determine which procedure is best for you

Liposuction in Naples

Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett begin each of their liposuction procedures by first meeting with their patients to gain a deep understanding of their concerns and goals for the procedure. During this time, they also work with their patient to determine which techniques and procedures will best meet their patient’s needs. Among options are tumescent liposuction, which decreases bruising and pain postoperatively.

Liposuction is an advanced body contouring Cosmetic surgery procedure that requires surgical finesse and a strong sense of artistry. During the liposuction process, the surgeon will first determine the ideal incision locations on the body to encourage minimal scarring, and to promote the most precise levels of appropriate fat reduction. Then, the surgeon and surgical team will prepare the patient for surgery.

To begin the procedure, your surgeon will first infuse a wetting solution of saline and epinephrine into the problem areas to minimize blood loss and increase the ease of fat removal. Following infusion of the solution, your surgeon will gently suction out stubborn subcutaneous fat cells to address problem areas and successfully spot-reduce fat deposits. Depending on how much fat is to be removed, local anesthesia may be used, or, if extensive suctioning is required, general anesthesia. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis at our surgical suite, which has passed the strict regulations outlined by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF).

Recovering from Liposuction Surgery

Following liposuction surgery with Naples Plastic Surgery, patients typically need rest for one to two weeks before being able to return to their daily schedules. Patients may experience slight swelling and bruising for several days after the procedure, and the treatment area may be wrapped with bandages or supportive garments in order to encourage faster recovery periods. Patients are strongly discouraged from engaging in any type of strenuous activity, including exercise, for at least three to six weeks following surgery to prevent complications.

Liposuction can put patients at risk for surgical complications, such as infection or swelling. Our surgeons have extensive training and experience performing liposuction procedures and have an exceptional surgical record with minimal complications. Because of Naples Plastic Surgery’s relentless pursuit of patient satisfaction, most of our patients achieve stunning results and leave our practice feeling positive about their plastic surgery experience.

View Video Transcript – Common Question about Liposuction

I commonly get asked “can I get liposuction done if I’m awake?” The short answer is yes, of course you can get liposuction done awake. We usually do that with a little bit of an oral sedative, we keep you comfortable, we use local anesthetic, and we liposuction the areas that are of concern. Now usually the best candidates for this are people with just small amounts of fat, and small amounts of areas that they want liposuction on because there are limitations to the amount you can do. If you’re looking for more extensive liposuction, and you want to try to get the best contour possible, a lot of times it’s better — just from a comfort standpoint — to go to the operating room as you’ll be able to achieve much more.

Dr. Walsh is excellent, very patient, and takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns and puts you at ease. He works with you for a great surgery result.

I have been through a lot since undergoing a bi-lateral mastectomy and many reconstructive surgeries that did not go well. I was referred to Dr. Walsh. From the first visit, I knew I was in good hands. I have had amazing results, they look great and I am very happy to feel whole again. He is a great surgeon!
His staff is awesome, they communicate well, and it is a very happy environment, always a pleasure to walk into the office. I highly recommend Naples Plastic Surgery!!

Dr Gardner is the BEST!

I have been a patient of Dr. Gardners for many years. His ability to relate to his patients is a very calming and caring characteristic. He answers questions with patience and above all, no pressure. The surgeries that I have had, fat augmentation and a neck/chin lift have given me a renewed and fresh look without appearing as if it’s not a totally natural look. I continue to have fillers and Botox by Dr. Gardner and would NEVER consider going to someone else for these procedures.

The staff are incredible! They know their patients by name, interact in a supportive manner and most of all, are very knowledgeable about the procedures and always willing and able to answer questions.

I would very highly recommend Dr. Gardner and his staff.

Simply masterful with a kind soul

Dr. Gardner is simply masterful and a kind soul. He takes great pride in his work and has the experience and expertise to take initiative to achieve the best outcome for patients beyond expectation, often having to adapt to unexpected obstacles from patient history. Experiencing significant pain I went to see Dr. Gardner as a repeat patient, expecting a routine implant revision due to a failure of a fifteen year old reduction procedure. Instead, Dr. Gardner had to remove a significant growth and essentially rebuild the sins of the past into results that realistically were better than had ever presented in my youth, all with minimal incisions and recovery. This is the doctor you seek for exceptional cases and care – you are worth it. He is worthy. Special appreciation to his staff, all of whom genuinely take an interest and embody the values Dr. Gardner brings to the table.

Amazing Transformation and Exceptional Care

I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Walsh for the amazing transformation he’s given me. I had a skin removal tummy tuck with liposuction and Renuvion, and the results have been life-changing. Dr. Walsh’s expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident throughout the process. He listened to my concerns and tailored the procedure to my needs.

The recovery was smooth thanks to his thorough aftercare instructions and the constant support of his team. Dr. Walsh even came into the office the day after surgery, a Saturday, to check on me, which showed his true commitment to me.

I also want to highlight how wonderful and kind the entire office staff is. Everyone was helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

I highly recommend Dr. Walsh for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. His skill, professionalism, and dedication are truly exceptional.

Beyond helpful and kind

Dr Baccaro and his team went above and beyond for my breast augmentation surgery. From the consultation to every single post op appointment they were beyond helpful and kind.
I had my implants for 10 years and had significant loss in volume and was afraid I needed a lift but Dr Baccaro was able to give me the perfect new pair without a lift and I am beyond happy with the results. Besides that he also fixed my visible scarring that were left behind from the previous surgeon.
His work is beyond excellent and both him and his team are amazing people.

Months later I went in for lip and nose filler and AGAIN I was left speechless with his work. I have never done any filler in my nose and always wanted a nosejob to fix a bump on my bridge and with less than 1ml in both lips and nose he was able to give me the side profile of my dreams.

Thank you Dr Baccaro and the amazing team. I will 10000% recommend you to anyone I meet needing a procedure done and will continue using your services.

Very pleasant to work with

I am very happy with my experience with Naples plastic surgery and will definitely use them again in the future! I had breast implants that were 34 years old and I had them replaced by Dr Walsh. Believe it or not even after all that time one of the implants was still fully intact when he took it out, the other one had begun to show signs of gumminess from age. Everyone from the office staff, to the doctor himself were very pleasant to work with and overall was a great experience here.
