The procedure is performed under a “sleepy” state with numbing medicine, or under complete general anesthesia. Dr. Stanwix makes only a couple of small hidden 1/4″ incisions and uses them to perform the entire surgery! Dr. Stanwix always uses the safe tumescence technique to minimize pain and bleeding. He then uses the liposuction technique of choice to remove your unwanted fatty areas. No sutures required! A compression garment will be fitted and placed on you at the end of surgery. A lot of your results are thus seen immediately! And the best part….NO Downtime and NO restrictions! Please view Dr. Stanwix photo gallery for examples of his excellent surgical results!
The time needed to recover from liposuction depends on the areas of liposuction and how much needs to be removed. Overall there is no downtime or restrictions afterwards, although you may not want to hit the gym the next day as you will be somewhat sore. Dr. Stanwix provides you with pain medicine and other medicines to help with discomfort after surgery. It is very important to always wear your surgical garment, it helps to mold your skin to the ideal curves and figure that you desire. The day after surgery you can start to shower and it is important to walk around. Depending on the area of surgery, your return to work and physical activity will be up to you. Liposuction is a great surgical technique that Dr. Stanwix uses frequently to give you the figure you deserve in a minimally invasive way.
