Liposuction Procedure
Many people develop stubborn fat deposits that prevent them from having their ideal slim figure. Although diet and exercise can help some people achieve their desired results, others may feel these methods do little to nothing when it comes to reaching their aesthetic goals. Liposuction can remove unwanted fat from nearly any area of the body to help patients achieve a more toned and lean appearance. Dr. Hadeed will make sure to create aesthetically pleasing contours that complement the natural shape of your body.
There are many liposuction techniques available to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Hadeed will address your concerns, explain the details of your procedure, and determine a plan to suit your aesthetic needs.

Technique
Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis using an anesthetic solution. During your procedure, Dr. Hadeed will make several small incisions along the treated area and insert a small instrument called a cannula into the tissues. Then, the cannula will gently suction out the excess fat to produce a more aesthetically pleasing figure. Once the fat has been removed, the incisions are closed using sutures, and a sterile dressing and surgical tape will also be applied to the treated area.
Combinations
Liposuction can be performed alongside the following surgical procedures to help you achieve optimal results:

Concerns About Liposuction
Recovery
Following your procedure, you will be asked to wear a compression garment to protect your new contours and help minimize swelling. Swelling and bruising will occur but should resolve after a few weeks; however, minor swelling may persist for up to one year. You may be able to return to work between one and two weeks after your surgery. Make sure you carefully follow all of Dr. Hadeed’s directions to ensure the best recovery and results possible.
Pain
You may experience some pain after your surgery. Dr. Hadeed will prescribe medication to minimize any discomfort you may have.
Scars
Dr. Hadeed will make sure to place incisions in inconspicuous locations during your liposuction procedure. Any scars that do form can be hidden under clothing and are likely to fade over time.
Cost
The cost of your procedure will vary based on certain factors that include anesthesia fees, surgical fees, and techniques used. Dr. Hadeed will provide you with a cost sheet during your consultation.
