Beverly Hills, CA physician explains the expected recovery and results for liposuction surgery

Posted By: Dr. Dennis Dass | Published On: May 1, 2019 | Liposuction
Both men and women have target areas of their bodies that they would like to alter. Dr. Dennis Dass in Beverly Hills, CA offers a variety of procedures and options to give patients the look they desire. One of the most popular cosmetic procedures, liposuction surgery, or lipo, slims areas of the body. We all have those stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The love handles or pouch that just will not go away. Dr. Dass has an answer for that. Liposuction safely and removes unwanted fat between muscle and skin in the targeted area.

Types of liposuction

Body contouring and fat reduction procedures have been taken to the next level. There are more options, including traditional liposuction surgery, tumescent liposuction, laser liposuction, and non-invasive body contouring. Patients have unique needs based on the areas to be addressed, the amount of fat, the overall cost, and the amount of downtime necessary. Traditional liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia. Tumescent liposuction uses local anesthetics to make the fat firm and swollen while numbing the treatment site. Small incisions are made to insert a small tube called a cannula that vacuums out the fat cells. Ultrasound or laser procedures utilize advanced technology and energy to liquefy and suction out the fat. During liposuction, fat cells are removed in order to reshape or contour the body. Liposuction is not a weight loss program to eliminate large amounts of fat. It is ideal for patients with a small pocket of fat or a problem zone that just will not go away without a little extra help. Common treatment areas include:
  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Thighs
  • Knees
  • Buttocks
  • Arms
  • Under the chin

Liposuction recovery and results

A consultation with Dr. Dass is required. He will listen to your questions, concerns, and expectations. The amount of fat to be removed and your expectations will help determine the most appropriate procedure for your needs. Having a realistic goal is important for any procedure. It helps you know what to expect, how you may heal, and what results you may achieve with a given treatment.

Regardless of which liposuction procedure you undergo, the recovery is similar. Liposuction is an outpatient surgery. Following the procedure, a compression garment is worn over the treatment area to help minimize swelling. It also helps compress the skin to your new contours. The compression garment is worn for about 6 weeks. For some patients, small drains may be placed to remove excess blood or fluid. The drains are only used temporarily. Bruising and swelling are the most common side effects. These may be present for a few weeks as the body heals. Patients will be given specific post-procedure instructions. These will include how to care for the treatment area and any drains that are used. The procedure is not particularly painful, but the treatment area may be tender or sore. Medications may be taken to help with discomfort, aid in healing, and reduce the possibility of infections. There may be restrictions on movement or exercise. Generally speaking, walking around beginning the day of your procedure aids in healing, reduces complications, and helps prevent blood clots. Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding strenuous exercise or physical activity. Most patients can return to work within 3 days. Every patient heals differently. The amount of fat removed, and the exact treatment areas can impact the healing process. The more areas that are treated, the longer the recovery period may be. Fat cells that are removed with liposuction will not grow back in the same area. Once the body heals, the results are Visible. This means that even if you gain weight, it will not show in the treatment area. It may take a few months for the swelling to fully go down. However, as the swelling is reduced, your newly contoured body shape will appear and will continue to develop. Although liposuction does not replace a healthy lifestyle, it can help dispose of pockets of unwanted fat or problem zones. Ask Dr. Dass if you are a suitable candidate for liposuction to get the contours you desire. Schedule your consultation in our Beverly Hills, CA office today. Call (855) 496-4646

Highly recommend! wouldn't go to anyone else. 6 Months post BBL and I seem to LOVE my body more by the day! Dr. Dass truly did an amazing job shaping my body. I'm very petite and was concerned I wouldn't have enough fat to transfer, however Dr. Dass exceeded my expectations. I'm 5'2 range from 123-128 lbs He gave me the curves I dreamed of! His staff was very helpful, answered every question I had and took well care of me during the whole procedure. The recovery went smooth, did everything he instructed me to do and was back at work in 8 days! Highly recommend! wouldn't go to anyone else. Right off the bat you can tell how professional and knowledgeable he is.

My truSculptflex experience was incredible. My truSculptflex experience was incredible. I did as many areas as possible; quads, abs, obliques, hamstrings, buttocks. I continued to see a difference in both fat loss around the muscles and muscles increasing in size. The skin was tighter and firmer around treated areas too. 4 treatments and the results continued to improve 3 months later! Life Changing!! I’m blown away by this technology and would recommend DrDass and his office for the most effective, up to date technology in all of the services he offers. He takes pride on being young, on the cutting edge of the best and most effective treatments/surgeries/procedures to attain to your goals. Whatever they may be!

Dr. Dass and his amazing team made me feel so comfortable and safe. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision of choosing Dr. Dass. I was afraid of going through this journey but Dr. Dass and his amazing team made me feel so comfortable and safe. From the consultation leading up to the day of the procedure, everyone made sure to answer any questions I had and throughly walked me through what was to be expected. I truly appreciate the entire team and Dr. Dass. My results are incredible and I did not have a single complication. When choosing your doctor please do not let the cost be the deciding factor. This is an investment for yourself and it is important to remember your health comes before all else.

I just have to say thanks to him I had my BBL with Dr. Dass and was the best decision that I made. He did exactly what I wanted and my recovery was very fast and no painful at all. I was a bit worried because I live in another state and needed to travel, but it took a short time for me to go back to my normal life. I just have to say thanks to him..

Doctor Dennis Dass is simply the BEST I had my BBL and extended tummy tuck approximately around 8 weeks ago and i couldnt be more grateful, I was fortunate enough to had work done by such a skilled surgeon. Doctor Dennis Dass is simply the BEST, he's a Master in the Art of Plastic Surgery I look better then when i was in my 20's. He put color back into my life giving me the courage to do the things I once was too overly conscious and afraid to do and for that I'll forever be grateful for.
