Weston Liposuction doctors

If properly placed, Liposuction scars will be inconspicuous. They are usually designed to be hidden under a bathing suit when possible or at least the most hidden area adjacent to the area being suctioned. The scar quality itself is usually good but some scars may raise slightly in individuals prone to excessive scar formation. Most scars should be no longer then 3-4 millimeters. As for sutures, I typically use a single absorbable suture and a steri-strip to close the incisions. Some doctors leave the incisions open - some don't. I've tried both ways and prefer to close incisions. Best of Luck  Dr Harrell

For patients such as yourself, the key question is how well will your skin contract after stand alone liposuction. Liposuction alone will definitely shape you very nicely and based only on the photos it would appear your skin would contract reasonably well and not leave you with a fold of skin. Hovever, if you do have significant laxity and correcting that is a large priority of yours then a Tummy Tuck might be the better operation. The liposuction has the benefit of less scarring and a more rapid recovery. You surgeon should help you to evaluate the pros and cons of each approach. Best of Luck Dr Harrell

Probably the biggest risk is choosing your surgeon carelessly or perhaps shopping just based on price. A trained and experienced surgeon, operating in a safe O.R. environment is your most important insurance against potential complications. No surgery is risk free however, even in the best of hands. The risks of liposuction are disatisfaction or disappointment with the result, infection, excessive bleeding, injury of vital organs, wound healing problems and anesthetic related complications. Proper evaluation of the patient's health and medical history, utilization of appropriate anesthesia care givers and surgeon experience reduce these potential risks to acceptable levels.
