YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH your plastic surgeon:
The initial consultation with your surgeon is critical! It should always be face to face with your surgeon during which time he/she listens closely to your concerns, and comes to fully understand your concerns, evaluates them correctly and is then able to make the recommendations and develop the surgery/treatment plan that is right for you.
SUBMENTAL LIPOSUCTION SURGERY OVERVIEW:
in general the plastic surgeons nowadays uses the most advanced – safest – techniques and technology available today. This includes tumescent and wet techniques that ensure more patient comfort and less blood loss. After you are anesthetized and completely comfortable, the surgeon will make the incision(s) and work through these to remove excess fat and to sculpt the area(s) involved. The cannula is a small tube used to loosen the fat and a vacuum attached to the cannula safely suctions it from the pockets and bulges. For small, localized areas such as the face or chin, he may use a syringe to harvest fat for grafting and sculpting. Tumescence is an infusion of sterile saline administered before surgery to plump the fat cells and enable the surgeon to distinguish between the fat layer and overlying soft tissue, underlying muscles and organs. The saline is combined with lidocaine, in an appropriate balance, to ensure your comfort during and after the procedure. Recovery is brief – normally a weekend.
