Liposuction can help refine areas of the body such as the abdomen, arms, buttocks, and thighs for a slimmer, trimmer body shape that reflects your hard work. Dr. Virden’s training and experience has provided him with a level of precision and skill that is essential for performing liposuction successfully. Removing the appropriate amount of fat is paramount to a smooth and natural outcome.
Ideal Liposuction Candidates
The ideal candidates for neck liposuction are men and women who:
- Have excess fat on their neck, especially under the chin (the submental area)
- Have tried diet and exercise as a means to lose the fat in this area without success
- Have the appearance of a double chin
- Have overall good health
What to expect during your Liposuction
Performed in an accredited surgical facility under general anesthesia, neck liposuction requires a small incision just below the chin so the surgeon can remove excess fat through a cannula. It is a relatively short procedure if it is not combined with a neck lift or other facial cosmetic surgical procedures. Once the incision is closed, the patient can expect to see swelling in the area and will be asked to wear a compression garment along with bandages upon discharge.
About Liposuction
Liposuction can be used nearly anywhere on the body and is commonly performed on multiple areas during one operation. Love handles, saddlebags, bulges around the waistline, or other fatty deposits are removed to reveal a better shape and more beautiful body. Liposuction is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle. Instead, liposuction can remove accumulated fat from areas that are difficult to tone due to genetics, aging, pregnancy, and other factors. When used on several areas of the body, liposuction can provide a well-proportioned appearance. Ideal surgical candidates are those who are already in good physical condition, but have stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Liposuction at Charles P. Virden, MD is used to remove unwanted fat from these areas:
- Chin and neckline
- Back
- Upper arms
- Abdomen and waistline
- Hips and buttocks
- Thighs and knees
- Calves and ankles
anticipated results
Liposuction is performed in an accredited surgical center or at a local hospital as an outpatient procedure. The surgery generally takes between 1 – 2 hours to complete, depending on how much fat is being addressed, as well as how many body parts. Liposuction can be a surgery all on its own, however, it is usually paired with other surgeries for the best cosmetic results, such as skin tightening procedures. It takes a couple of weeks for patients to recover and scarring is minimal. If a well-balanced diet is maintained, along with a healthy lifestyle, the results following liposuction surgery can last years
