I am a healthy 30 year old with no significant medical history. I am hoping to have a Breast Augmentation (with 375cc Silicone implants) and liposuction of the hips, inner & outer thighs, & knees (about 5 Liters worth). Is it safe to do it all in one procedure or is it better to split it up? My PS said it would be done under general and we could do it all at once, which is my hope. Also, what type of recovery should I expect. I have a 3 year old & 6 year old at home. Thanks for your help!
In qualified hands and setting, combining breast surgery with liposuction should be very safe. Make sure your surgeon is ABPS certified and the surgery facility is accredited.
Dear Doctors, with this overflow of informations we can find on the internet, I'd like to know if there is really a liposuction technique that is more PRECISE than the another one ? I know it really depends of the surgeons, but for example when you look at some websites, it sounds like if some are THE MOST PRECISE TECHNIQUE on the market (vaser...) and I wanted to know if there is really a technique that allow the surgeons to get more precision ? Thanks in advance !
It's certainly understandable how someone could be confused by all of the different liposuction techniques available today. There is so much information and marketing about liposuction, VASER, SmartLipo and other techniques, it can be very confusing. The bottom line is that these techniques may offer advantages for certain individuals. Nonetheless, the most precise liposuction technique is done by the most precise surgeon. End of story. This is the absolute most important factor, so chose your surgeon wisely. An experienced Plastic Surgeon can discuss the different techniques available and recommend which one will work best for you.
What are the benefits of chin liposuction?
The problem with liposuction for the neck is that there is no way to tell if the fat is deep, and under the platysma or superficial and on top of the platysma. (even for the most experienced surgeons)
If the fat is removed superficially when it is mostly deep, irregularity will result. going deep can be risky without seeing what you are doing.
The best results are obtained with open submental lipectomy, ie direct removal of the fat under vision, from the correct place, tightening of the platysma muscle, and re-draping the skin. This requires a small incision under the chin, which is really worth it.
You may be lucky and get a good result with liposuction, but this is not a reliable way to go.
