Liposuction Fad Reduction & Body ContouringConveniently located to serve Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, and Glendale

Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image. Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, many people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness. With liposuction in Scottsdale, these trouble areas can be sculpted and contoured.

Who can benefit from liposuction?

We may maximize workouts, eat like rabbits and take vitamins like candy and still find that we have those resistant areas around our hips, flanks and abdominal area. If that’s the case, liposuction can be ideal body contouring in shaping those extra pads.

Testimonials

“Dr Lille gave me a tummy tuck and lipo around my flanks. After 22 years of stretch marks and loose skin I was amazed with the results. Of course I was scared to death before the surgery but Dr Lille made me feel comfortable and I knew I was in good hands.”

    1. Procedure

  • Liposuction

    Dr. Lille uses Vaser Liposelection, the most advanced in ultrasonic technology. It targets only the fat cells and does not injure other tissue components below the skin. The Vaser is very useful in women and men who have more fibrous strands below the skin where fat cells can hide. The Vaser liquefies the hard to get to fat and helps tighten the under surface of the skin from the heat generated by the Vaser. Recovery is fast, anywhere from three to five days before returning to work, and you can work out as soon as one to two weeks. Compression garments are worn and the surgery is definitive.

  • What happens during liposuction?

    Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

  • After liposuction

    Your improved body contour will be apparent when the swelling and fluid retention commonly experienced following liposuction subside. With continued practices of healthy diet and fitness, the loss of excess fatty tissue should be permanently maintained. However, substantial weight gain can alter an otherwise permanent result.

    3. Step 3

  • Step 1

    The success and safety of your lipo procedure depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Lille will discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment based on your health evaluation. Dr. Lille will evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors by asking you a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. Photographs will be taken for your medical record. Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment. Discuss likely outcomes of liposuction and any risks or potential complications : Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome, Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments. They may also about current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs, and possible previous surgeries.

  • Step 2

    Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions. First, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion.

  • Step 3

    The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula.

  • Post-op

    Once your procedure is completed, a compression garment or elastic bandages may cover treatment areas. These help to control swelling and compress the skin to your new body contours.
    In addition, small temporary drains may be placed in existing incisions beneath the skin to remove any excess blood or fluid.

    A special note: Secondary procedures may sometimes be recommended to reduce excess skin. Special considerations are needed when large amounts – usually more than 5 liters of fat – are suctioned.
    Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period.

    • Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete?
    • What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery?
    • Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery?
    • When will they be removed?
    • Are stitches removed? When?
    • When can I resume normal activity and exercise?
    • When do I return for follow-up care?
  • When you go home

    If you experience shortness of breath, chest pains, or unusual heart beats, seek medical attention immediately. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment.

    The practice of medicine and surgery is not an exact science. Although good results are expected, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary.

  • Results

    It may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate. As it does, your new contours and enhanced self-image should continue to develop.

    The fulfillment you feel from the initial results of liposuction should continue as long as you control your weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    A significant weight gain can reverse your results. Following liposuction, your slimmer and better-proportioned body should more accurately reflect the healthy and active life you lead.

Before & Afters

Liposuction Q&A

Liposuction techniques

Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the:

  • Thighs
  • Hips and buttocks
  • Abdomen and waist
  • Upper arms
  • Back
  • Inner knee
  • Chest area
  • Cheeks, chin and neck
  • Calves and ankles

In some cases, lipo is performed alone, in other cases it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, breast reduction, a tummy tuck, or male breast reduction to address gynecomastia (oversized male breasts).

What it won’t do: Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite, the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks, or loose saggy skin.

Preparing for surgery

Prior to surgery, you may be asked to:

  • Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
  • Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
  • Stop smoking well in advance of surgery
  • Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding

Special instructions you receive will cover:

  • What to do on the day of surgery
  • The use of anesthesia during your liposuction
  • Post-operative care and follow-up

Your plastic surgeon will also discuss where your procedure will be performed. Liposuction may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient or ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital.

Important facts about the safety and risks of liposuction

The decision to undergo this fat removal procedure is extremely personal and you’ll have to decide if the benefits will achieve your goals and if the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Your plastic surgeon and/or staff will explain in detail the risks associated with surgery. You will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure that you fully understand the procedure you will undergo and any risks or potential complications.

Possible risks of liposuction include:

  • Uneven contours
  • Rippling or loose skin
  • Skin or nerve damage
  • Irregular pigmentation
  • Infection
  • Fat clots
  • Blood clots
  • Excessive fluid loss or fluid accumulation
  • Unfavorable scarring

Is it right for me?

If you are bothered by excess fat deposits – located anywhere on your body – that don’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.

  • Non-smokers

Be careful
Following your physician’s instructions is key to the success of your surgery. It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself.
