Listen In: Dr. Basner Explains the Nuances of Liposuction

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove fat through a cannula. It has been performed for decades, and is currently one of the safest, most effective and most popular plastic surgery procedures available.

By targeting and removing specific fat deposits, it offers a path to enhanced body contours. Dr. Basner's expertise and dedication to his patients ensure both precision and personal care, making him a respected choice for liposuction in Baltimore.

Liposuction Technique

Dr. Basner performs liposuction in Baltimore, using SAFElipo, which is a technique developed to help lessen the risk of contour irregularities following surgery. SAFElipo follows these steps:

Liposuction and Weight Loss

It is very important to note that liposuction is NOT a weight loss technique. Fatty tissue is very light, and its fat removal will not make a significant difference in your actual weight. Most patients; however, do look like they lost weight after liposuction, and it's not uncommon to drop a pant size or two.

If you want to lose actual weight, the best course of action is to follow a good diet and exercise plan. If you've tried on your own with no luck, it might be a good idea to hire a nutritionist and personal trainer to give you personalized guidance and keep you on track.

What Areas Can a Liposuction Procedure Treat?

Liposuction techniques can be used almost anywhere on the body, from the ankles to the chin. Some of the most popular areas to have liposuction surgery include:

Basically, if you have an area of the body with excess fat that you can pinch, you can probably have liposuction on it. Keep in mind that liposuction does not help with excess skin or skin tightening, though. If your skin is sagging, Dr. Basner may recommend a body lift instead (he performs Brazilian butt lifts, lower body lifts, arm lifts, and back lifts). In some cases, liposuction can be combined with a lift for best results. This is common in areas like the arms, where "batwings" are often a combination of fat and loose skin.

Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck: What Sets Liposuction Apart From Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Patients are often not sure if they need liposuction or a full tummy tuck to get the results they want. The only way to tell for sure is to have an in-person consultation, but in general, you will probably need a tummy tuck if you have the following concerns:

Tummy Tuck Basics

It's important to remember that when considering a tummy tuck vs lipo, a tummy tuck is much more comprehensive than liposuction alone, and involves fat, skin and muscles. Liposuction procedures will only address the areas of fat. Often, post-childbirth women will need a tummy tuck because their pregnancy stretches the skin and the abdominal muscles. Our mommy makeover is another great option for women looking to reclaim their bodies after childbirth.

A tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction for results that are more comprehensive and fine-tuned. Liposuction offers a precise solution for body contouring and is distinct from a tummy tuck or other procedures in its ability to reshape specific areas of the body, delivering tailored results based on individual needs.

For instance, if you want a flatter stomach but also want to reduce love handles and slim the thighs, a tummy tuck with lipo may be the way to go.

Are You a Candidate for Liposuction?

During your consultation at our Baltimore liposuction and surgery office, Dr. Basner will ask a variety of questions to determine if you are an ideal candidate for liposuction. Patients should be:

Liposuction results can last for a lifetime with proper maintenance, but if you fall off the health wagon and start to regularly eat poorly and stop exercising, you can regain fat even in the areas that had liposuction.

How to Achieve Better Results After Lipo

While fat cells do not come back after they've been removed, existing fat cells can still enlarge. The best way to maintain your results is to eat a relatively healthy diet and make sure you get a sufficient amount of exercise. We're not saying you can never eat a donut again — just make sure you're not eating them every day! Check out our liposuction quiz to find out if you’re a good candidate.

Reasonable Expectations for Liposuction

In addition, it's important to have realistic expectations for your results. If a certain area is out of proportion with the rest of your body, liposuction can bring it into better balance with your figure or features. While we can create a better body shape for you, we are limited by your individual anatomy. Liposuction techniques can't give you a body identical to your favorite celebrity. It can give you a defined waist and an hourglass figure, but it might not be able to give you as tiny a waist as you imagine.

Be upfront and honest about your expectations with Dr. Basner, and he will let you know if your desired results are achievable.

Liposuction Surgery & Potential Risks

Like any other surgery, liposuction carries possible risks. These risks can range from bleeding and numbness to a bad reaction to the anesthetic. Doing several lipo procedures at one time or having a large surface area worked on increases your risk of complications. Talk with Dr. Basner about how these risks may apply to you during your initial consultation for liposuction in Baltimore.

Understanding the Liposuction Procedure

At our liposuction surgery practice, Dr. Basner skillfully eliminates excess fat cells, helping you achieve the desired results for refined body contours.

Post-Liposuction Recovery

Liposuction recovery is generally smooth, with a relatively short healing period. Most liposuction patients are back to work within just a few days. If you have your procedure done over a long weekend, you may not even need to take any time off.

Although the SAFElipo method lessens the severity of bruising and swelling, you should still expect to be somewhat bruised and swollen for the first few weeks. The bruising should dissipate over these first weeks, but swelling can last for much longer.

Lipo Recovery Period:

You should not be concerned if it seems like you are lumpy or asymmetrical in the first four to eight weeks of recovery. This is just swelling, and is completely normal. Be patient, and you should start to see what your final results will look like by the third month — and sometimes sooner.

During your recovery, you should walk as much as possible starting as soon as the day after surgery. Walking around will help you feel active and will help with your recovery.
