Medical Procedure: Cellulite Removal
What to Expect from a Cellulite Removal Procedure: Women and men who suffer from the dimpled or orange-peal look in their inner, outer and upper thighs, hips, and buttock area can benefit from this effective way of removing cellulite by surgical means. There are other alternatives out there, however none of them have been proven to be effective. Surgical methods offer more successful ways to remove cellulite. Description of Cellulite Removal: The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method to achieve your desired end results. Cellulite may be removed surgically by using liposuction or laser lipolysis to break up and remove the fat deposits that have caused a build-up and latency in certain regions of the body, resulting in a dimpled-appearance. A lower body lift is also a possible option for cellulite removal, in which the skin around the affected area is lifted and the muscles are tightened, as in the facelift procedure. Incisions are closed with dissolvable or removable stitches, in which the patient may or may not be required to return to the hospital to have the stitches removed. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient may return home the same day of the surgery. Good Candidates for Cellulite Removal: All healthy non-smoking individuals who are no more than 20 pounds overweight, as this procedure does not offer a solution to weight loss. Cellutite often times has nothing to do with being overweight. In most cases it is hereditary. 18 should be the minimum age requirement for this surgical operation. Average Duration of Cellulite Removal: 2-4 hours Estimated Recovery Time: about 1 week. I can return to work within: This will depend on the progress of the patient’s recovery. The patient may be able to return to work after one week, but sitting down may be painful for the first week or two following the surgery. I should see the complete result of my Cellulite Removal Procedure within: The results of cellulite surgery are gradual, and complete cellulite removal is not guaranteed. The patient should begin noticing the results of this procedure within a few months. Pain Factor: Patients may go under a local anesthesia with sedatives, but general anesthesia is also an option. Swelling and bruising are to be expected, which typically subsides in about a week.Prescription pain medications should be sufficient enough to relieve pain and soreness after your procedure. Be sure to avoid anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin for several weeks following the procedure. The affected areas may stay numb for about 2 days. A compression garment may be worn for 3 days- 1 week to reduce swelling and support the affected area. Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Cellulite Removal: allergic reaction to the anesthesia, bleeding, infection, soreness, swelling, bruising.
