The Recovery Process of Tumescent Liposuction explained by Dr. Brian Evans

Understanding the recovery process after tumescent liposuction is a very important step for every patient. There are certain steps that need to be followed strictly in order for the healing to take place normally. The process is different for each individual, so discussing with the surgeon beforehand is a must.

First of all, the final result will only appear after six weeks from the medical intervention. Even though there are some patients who recover more rapidly, this is the general rule that should be followed. After the six weeks period of time elapses, there will be no more visible scars on the surface of the body. However, getting the organism used to the new body weight and structure can also be regarded as part of the healing process. This usually occurs after almost a year, with no more feelings of numbness being experiences in the affected areas.

As for the possible side effects, these include, but are not limited to, dizziness, discomfort in the areas involved in the surgery and numbness. These conditions can sometimes affect the duration of the recovery period and it the pause of any kind of physical exercise is completely recommended by most surgeons. Particular aspects about the interdictions that might apply to the patient can only be given during a medical consultation, when every question related to the tumescent liposuction intervention should be asked.

Compression garments represent one of the most common solutions for diminishing the time that is necessary for the healing process after the intervention. In addition to this, patients should try to get as much rest as possible, in order to give the body enough time to recover. Driving should also be suspended during the recovery period, at least for the first week. This is because driving requires a completely operational body and works certain muscles in the same way as exercising.

Finally, a physical evaluation is performed on the patient before the tumescent liposuction procedure takes place. This is a vital step when it comes to determining the eligibility of the patient with respect to the techniques involved in this medical procedure. There are some people who qualify for the regular liposuction intervention but cannot undergo tumescent liposuction, which is more dangerous than the standard type of surgery. In order to prevent more complications from taking place, this control is mandatory and the patient should be clearly informed about the health state and the possible risks that apply.

Why Is Breast Fat Transfer Recommended? Ask Dr. Brian Evans

As we get older, some of the parts of our body, such as the breasts, begin to feel the effects of gravity, sun exposure and some other factors that contribute to an unpleasant aesthetic aspect. The subcutaneous tissue that provides the youthful look to the skin begins to break down, often leaving wrinkles in areas where the movements of these muscles are obvious.


One of them most common injections that are made for improving the aesthetic aspects of these body parts is the one with own fat. This is generally used for increasing the size of the breasts or the area involved and can also help improve the shape and offer a pleasant aspect. If you ever consider undergoing a breast fat transfer intervention, there are some very important aspects that you should consider. First of all, you should have a basic understanding of how the injection works and how fat can help you achieve the desired results in terms of the volume of breasts.


There are many injectable substances and each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, own fat seems like the most suitable solution, since there will be no risk of rejection from the patient's body, which is already used to it. On the other hand, if foreign materials are used, some dangerous complications might occur. Another great advantage is the absence of any allergic reaction that can be encountered after the procedure.


On the other hand, the main disadvantage of breast fat transfer is the need of a donor area, rich in fat. If the patient does not have such an area, performing the surgery will be impossible. In addition to this, temporary swelling and bruising may occur as part of this intervention. Finally, an additional operation might be required for correcting the results obtained during the first one, which are very hard to perfect because of the uneven resorption of fat.


Fat injections are primarily used to improve the skin appearance. They can help fill facial wrinkles, cheeks and any other areas with devitalized ski or scars. In addition to this, professional surgeons can also use own fat to enlarge the size of the breasts.


Sometimes injecting substances is done in combination with some other surgical procedure. However, the chemicals injected cannot change the facial contour, for example. You should always remember that a plastic surgeon is a specialist who can offer the full range of cosmetic surgery treatments, ranging from laser techniques to injections. You are the only one to decide your preferred method and the desired result.
