Liposuction

Even with good overall health and reasonable fitness levels, some people may still have problem areas on their body. These localized fat deposits can cause low self-confidence and disproportionate body contours. These stubborn fatty areas may be caused by inherited genes rather than poor diet and no exercise. In these cases, many people turn to liposuction. Charleston, SC, patients can benefit greatly from this common cosmetic surgery procedure performed at O’Neill Plastic Surgery.

*As with any procedure and/or treatment the results may vary..

Benefits

Liposuction is able to offer you an improved profile and increase your self-confidence. The final results are permanent. The patient will be more easily able to find clothing that fits off the rack, and flexibility may be improved if the fat deposit was hindering movement.

Treatment Area

Treatment areas include, but are not limited to:

Complications

As with any surgery, there are risks. Dr. O’Neill will study your medical history, discuss your treatment goals, and any potential risks associated with your case. Liposuction is a common, effective treatment that is generally considered very safe.

Most patients experience swelling and bruising after surgery. Initial results usually appear in two to four weeks. Final results should appear in 2-6 months. Significant weight gain can cause recurrence of fatty deposits. Feel free talk to our team about your liposuction surgery questions before or after your surgery, or if you could include liposuction in a combination procedure (like a mommy makeover), which is extremely common!

Downtime

The amount of time it takes the patient’s body to heal depends upon the procedure chosen, the areas of the body to be treated, the extensiveness of treatment, and the type of anesthesia used. Recovery can range from a few days to several months, depending upon these factors.

Cost

A liposuction procedure will be different for everyone. Please call the office to schedule a consult. *As with any procedure and/or treatment the results may vary.”
