Liposuction in Orlando, Florida

Liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring procedures for men and women. This procedure gets rid of stubborn fat that does not respond to exercise or diet. It can also redefine your body shape and help you feel more confident. Patients undergo a single liposuction procedure or receive this surgery as part of a staged body contouring procedure.

All patients who undergo liposuction must be motivated to maintain their results through lifestyle modifications. With the right lifestyle changes, results from liposuction are typically permanent as the fat cells do not return. Many of these liposuction procedures are performed on an outpatient basis at our offices.

Fat Removal Expectations

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It is a body-contouring procedure that removes fatty tissue in areas such as the lower abdomen. After the procedure, when the desired amount of fat is removed, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can make results permanent.

The fat removed in a liposuction procedure generally amounts to four to five pounds. We are careful not to exceed the limits, as removing too much fat in a single procedure can be dangerous. Directly after your procedure, you will weigh more. This weight increase is due to slight swelling and the tumescent solution used during the procedure.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent Liposuction Surgery

Due to the ever increasing demand for Tumescent Liposuction in our Orlando, Florida plastic surgery practice, a comprehensive source of information for the Tumescent Liposuction patient is required.

Tumescent Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that has grown in popularity in Dr. Spence's practice for many reasons. The avoidance of general anesthesia and its potential risks, the rapid return to regular activities, the ability to stage multiple Tumescent Liposuction procedures addressing individual areas with minimal to no disruption in lifestyle, and the low risk associated with the procedure are just a few of the reasons contributing to the popularity of liposuction with the Tumescent Technique.

Dr. Spence has performed Tumescent Liposuction on patients from Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Melbourne, and other surrounding Central Florida areas, as well as patients traveling from other states and out of the country such as England, Barbados, and Jamaica, just to name a few.Schedule your consultation today at 407-999-2585 with Dr. Kenrick Spence at Hillcrest Plastic Surgery. Also feel free to browse through our Tumescent Liposuction Before & After Photos.

What is Tumescent Technique Liposuction?

Tumescent Liposuction involves the infusion of a large volume of fluid containing local anesthesia (lidocaine) sterile salt water and epinephrine (adrenaline) beneath the skin. This fluid infusion causes shrinking of the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin along with profound anesthesia allowing the removal of fat through tiny cannulas, fine metal instruments inserted beneath the skin. This enables the removal of fat with minimal amounts of blood loss and very little bruising after surgery. Due to the slow absorption of the local anesthesia, the area remains anesthetized for up to 24 hours following surgery making the patient's post operative recovery quite comfortable.

Why do Tumescent Liposuction?

Dr. Spence performs both Tumescent Liposuction as well as liposuction under general anesthesia. The choice of which procedure is performed depends on the patient's wishes, risk factors, what best suits your lifestyle, which is safer, and which produces the best result. For example, a mother with young children who exercises, yet has areas of troublesome resistant fat, or the business owner who does not have the time to take off would favor the Tumescent Technique since many times they are able to return to their regular schedules within 24 hours. Many patients have a fear of general anesthesia and the thought of being put to sleep is not appealing. Many have experienced severe nausea following the general anesthesia in the past and do not wish to repeat such an experience.

What can I expect at my consultation?

During your consultation, a thorough medical history will be taken with a thorough assessment of your risk factors for Tumescent Liposuction. This will include any history of medications or history of prior problems with local anesthesia. It is important to be candid with Dr. Spence, as your safety comes first. An evaluation of the areas you want sculptured will be followed with drawn detailed diagrams, photographs, and an operative plan outline. This process will take a full hour, will include a skin tone assessment, and the results must be evaluated to produce an excellent result.

Who is a candidate for Tumescent Liposuction?

In general, patients for Tumescent Liposuction are very healthy patients with no medical problems who are no more than 20 lbs over their ideal body weight. Smokers must stop smoking six weeks prior to their operation and for eight weeks after. In general, it is good never to resume smoking. The more motivated the patient, the better the result, and patients who are on a healthy diet combined with exercise do best at maintaining their result.

How much liposuction can be accomplished in a single session?

Remember, safety first. Patients who require multiple areas sculptured are quite often staged. This will be discussed at your initial consultation. Diagnosis and photographs will meticulously outline each area and be addressed in each session. Remember that most patients are able to return to their regular activities within 24 hours. Therefore, even staged procedures produce very little disruption in their lifestyle.

What can I expect on the day?

On the day of surgery, you will again be marked to ensure that all the areas you desire will be addressed. Small puncture sites measuring 2-4mm will be used with a fine needle to infuse the Tumescent solution beneath the skin, this is a relatively pain free procedure but takes a great deal of time as the infusion must be gradual to avoid discomfort for the patient. In general, the Tumescent technique takes longer than liposuction done with general anesthesia as the preparations are much more extensive and time consuming. An experienced Tumescent Technique surgeon knows that this cannot be rushed. Power assisted liposuction is used to remove the fatty deposits. Fine cannulas are used and many patients compare the sensations to getting a massage. The fine cannulas produce precise contour with removal of specific fat deposits lessening the risk of indentations in the skin. The puncture sites used to infuse the liposuction are left open to allow the Tumescent solution left behind to drain, thereby decreasing the post operative swelling and speeding the recovery.

Post Operative Care

We ask that an adult accompany all patients for the first 24-48 hours after surgery. Patients are placed in a compressive garment with absorbent pads applied to soak up any leaking fluid. The duration of wearing the compressor garments will vary based on the patients skin tone and the extent of liposuction.

Included in your package may be a series of massages. Dr. Spence has found that deep tissue massages subsequently shorten the period of swelling in the liposuction patient. Our in-house massage therapist carries a wealth of experience for the liposuction patient. Patients will experience numbness and tingling at the treatment site after the procedure; this is normal. There may be changes in pigmentation and moisture of the skin. These changes are all expected and are treated with the appropriate topical treatments by our in-house licensed aesthetician.

Summary

Although the procedure itself takes longer, patients have expressed great satisfaction with the Tumescent Technique due to the shortened recovery time. Patients have often stated that when they look at the total cost of the Tumescent Technique, it was subsequently less than liposuction using general anesthesia, as they did not have to take subsequent time off work or away from their daily activities.

Dr. Spence's practice is located in the historic Hillcrest neighborhood of downtown Orlando surrounded by many fine hotels, which is convenient for out of town patients or those who simply want privacy for their recovery. When seeking a Liposuction surgeon, remember to ask about board certification, experience, and results.

Liposuction Revisions

If your liposuction outcome does not meet your aesthetic expectations, turn to the liposuction revision specialists at Hillcrest Plastic Surgery. Our board-certified plastic surgeons can correct undesirable results from previous liposuction surgery, such as uneven contours, dimpling or asymmetry.

Our Process for Liposuction Revisions

We understand that pursuing a revision procedure is a big decision — especially if you've been disappointed by your experience elsewhere. Whether your goals are smoother contours, improved symmetry, more defined results or all of the above, we look forward to addressing your concerns and creating a smoother, more balanced outcome.

We've developed a straightforward process that answers your questions and helps you achieve the results you were hoping for with the first round of surgery.

  • Comprehensive consultation: Your journey starts with a thorough consultation led by one of our experts in revision surgery. Once your body has healed from the first surgery, they will have a better idea of the corrective steps that can be taken. Together, we’ll develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your unique goals and anatomy.
  • Customized surgical approach: Liposuction revisions are performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Our providers specialize in advanced surgical techniques that can correct your initial results, such as fat grafting to fill in dents or hollow spots and tummy tucks to address loose skin. This expertise, combined with an artistic eye, helps you achieve the results you desired from the first procedure.
  • Thoughtful recovery: As you heal at your own pace, we provide clear instructions about caring for incisions, wearing compression garments and monitoring your progress. Along with periodic follow-up appointments, our team is always available by phone, so you feel supported at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Have Loose Skin After Liposuction?

When you come in for your consultation with Dr. Spence, he will ascertain the elasticity in your skin. Skin elasticity is important because after the desired amount of fat is removed, the skin needs to be able to tighten down over its new, slimmer contours. If you still have good elasticity, loose skin will not be a problem, and your skin will tighten down to your slimmer contour.

Many patients also want to tighten the skin in the abdominal area for a contoured look. If our doctors think you have excess, sagging skin that seems to have lost its elasticity, they may recommend a tummy tuck (often with some amount of liposuction) to remove excess skin instead of only liposuction. This is only applicable to the areas around the abdomen, upper thighs and flanks. Our skilled surgeons offer tummy tucks — even for women who have received c-sections.

Is Liposuction Painful?

Thanks to our skilled team, modern liposuction procedures are minimally invasive. This is in sharp contrast to the original procedure introduced in the U.S. during the 1980s. During those days, liposuction procedures involved aggressive movement of the large cannula under the skin to loosen unwanted fat cells before suctioning them away. This old procedure created a good deal of blood loss and subsequent bruising and tissue trauma. Patients had to be under general anesthesia.

Our doctors use tumescent liposuction, where a saline solution containing Lidocaine and epinephrine is injected into the target area first. This swells the area for easier access, and the Lidocaine provides local anesthetic. The epinephrine constricts the blood vessels for less blood loss and bruising. We may also use power-assisted liposuction, which further helps to break loose the targeted fat cells.

Most patients equate the pain to more of an aching feeling and less of a sharp or dull pain feeling. While pain medication is available, most patients don't require anything stronger than over-the-counter options.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

During your consultation, our doctors will pay close attention to your overall body proportions, as well as taking your overall health into account. A diagram will be drawn to show the areas of fat that will be addressed and after that, a few photographs are taken. Our doctors will evaluate skin tone, elasticity, areas of cellulite, contours of underlying muscle and bone structure. After doing so, our doctors will be able to give you a realistic understanding of the results you can expect.

How Is the Liposuction Procedure Performed?

Dr. Spence offers two types of liposuction: power-assisted liposuction and the tumescent technique. Dr. Spence was the first surgeon to introduce MicroAir power-assisted liposuction to Orlando, Florida, and has gained extensive experience with it over the years. Power-assisted liposuction is a new technology for body sculpting.

The tip of the liposuction instrument vibrates rapidly, with special contours in the tip that enable efficient removal of fat from previously hard-to-reach areas, such as the flanks of men. This allows the surgeon to have more precise control for the efficient removal of fat. This, therefore, decreases the amount of time you will be under general anesthesia.

Large volumes of fluid, called tumescent solution, are infused beneath the skin. This swells the area up and causes the small blood vessels to clamp down, which enables the efficient removal of fat with minimal amounts of blood loss. This produces much less trauma to the patient, speeds up their recovery and lessens bruising. Since power-assisted liposuction uses no heat to break up the fat pockets, there is much less risk of damage to the skin, as seen with some other forms of liposuction.

Our doctors use fine cannulas, lessening the risk of skin irregularities with less trauma to the tissue while shortening the recovery time. Due to the use of fine instruments and the placement of tiny holes for liposuction in areas hidden by the undergarments, the tiny holes are not closed and are allowed to drain immediately after surgery to help diminish swelling. Specially filled compression garments are applied right after surgery to help decrease swelling and support the elasticity of the skin.

How Do I Prepare for My Liposuction Procedure?

Patients who want to undergo liposuction should stop smoking at least two weeks before the operation and until two weeks after the surgery. Smoking can cause surgical implications and reduce skin elasticity. Patients should also stop taking supplements and medications like aspirin, which can stop blood from clotting. Abstaining from these medications can help limit bruising, too.

Those who are getting larger areas treated should prepare a tranquil space in their home where they can rest and recover after surgery.

Some preparation tips include:

  • Get hydrated before surgery (e.g., drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily for 3 days prior to the procedure).
  • Start a walking program prior to surgery (at least 20 minutes per day for 3 days)

What Parts of the Body Can Liposuction Be Performed on?

Areas of Liposuction commonly addressed for women are:

  • Neck
  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Thighs
  • Knees
  • Back

The most common areas for men are:

  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Waist
  • Neck

Which parts you can have liposuction treatment on also depends on the area or areas you had treated in the past. Larger areas of your upper thighs can also be a little more difficult to treat.

Liposuction Surgery Recovery Expectations

For most patients, liposuction is done on an outpatient basis, so you may return home that night. Patients undergoing large-volume liposuction, greater than 5 liters, are kept in a monitored setting overnight and are discharged home the following morning. The tumescent solution will drain from the tiny liposuction holes for approximately 24 hours.

Patients will be up and walking within a couple of hours of completing surgery. It is advised to be up and walking at least 3 times the night of surgery for 10 to 20 minutes each time. Walking helps to minimize any risk of clot formation in the legs. In the subsequent days, swelling goes down, and the skin overlying the areas of liposuction will remain numb. The underlying tissue will feel firm with knots. This is normal and will resolve over time. Massages are very important during this time.

Patients are referred to massage therapy as needed. Significant differences will be seen as early as 2 weeks after surgery, but your final results will not be seen for several months. Our doctors will instruct you as to when you can return to your specific exercise regimen.

What Can Help Me Heal Faster From My Liposuction?

Our practice provides a number of regimens to speed your recovery from liposuction, including:

  • Oral agents such as Arnica Montana, Bromelain
  • Topical agents for the skin to aid skin color in returning to normal if any bruising occurs during surgery.
  • Bleaching creams to help fade the tiny holes from the liposuction scars
  • Massage therapy to help speed your recovery

Are My Results From Liposuction Permanent?

Your body has a limited amount of fat cells. They can decrease or increase in size as you lose or gain weight, but once you remove them, they are gone for good. It is possible for your body to build new fat cells, but only if you pick up a large amount of weight.

If you maintain a healthy weight and incorporate exercise into your lifestyle, you can enjoy a slimmer look for the rest of your life. Exercise and dieting can help keep fat growth to a minimum and help make liposuction results permanent.

How Can I Maintain My Results?

It's not difficult to maintain your results because you'll have fewer fat cells in the treated areas. To maintain your slimmer contours, you simply need to maintain a healthy weight and make some form of exercise a part of your life.

What are the Risks of Liposuction?

Like any other surgery, liposuction has potential risks, including:

  • Contour depression
  • Clot formation in the legs
  • Seroma - fluid collections beneath the skin
  • Prolonged swelling

At the time of your consultation, our doctors will discuss additional risks that may be unique to your situation.

SculptEase™ Liposuction

If you're still wondering whether SculptEase™ or traditional liposuction is the better choice for you, here are some questions and answers that might help make your decision easier.

Is SculptEase™ more expensive than traditional liposuction?

In some cases, SculptEase™ may be more expensive than traditional liposuction, but it depends on the extent of the procedure you get. Pricing for traditional liposuction can vary widely because it depends on the number and size of the treatment areas, the surgeon's fee, facility expenses and medical testing. The type of anesthesia can also affect the total price. SculptEase™ uses tumescent anesthesia, which is generally more affordable, while some traditional liposuction procedures use general anesthesia.

Can I really go back to work in 24–48 hours after SculptEase™ Liposuction?

You may be able to go back to work within 24–48 hours after SculptEase™ Liposuction, but recovery varies from person to person. Things that affect when you can go back to work include how big the treated areas are, how physically demanding your job is and how well your body heals when you return home. Someone with a desk job may be able to get back to work sooner than someone whose job requires lifting or a lot of walking. You may be swollen, bruised or need fluid drained in the days after your surgery, which can also influence how soon you feel up to going back to work.

How long until I see results from SculptEase™ Liposuction?

You may see results quickly from SculptEase™ Liposuction as the swelling goes down, often within the first few weeks of your recovery. Swelling can temporarily hide your new shape, but your contours should become more visible as your body heals. Many patients see noticeable improvements within one to three months, although the timeline varies by person. Following your aftercare instructions, including guidance about compression garments and activity levels, supports smoother recovery and helps you evaluate your results accurately.

Does SculptEase™ Liposuction hurt?

SculptEase™ Liposuction can cause discomfort, but the tumescent solution contains local anesthetic to numb the treatment area during the procedure. You may feel pressure, movement or vibration as the surgeon works, but experiences vary. After the procedure, you'll likely experience some soreness, swelling, bruising and numbness as your body heals. Your cosmetic surgery specialist will give you instructions for managing discomfort and caring for the treatment sites. That being said, if the pain becomes severe, suddenly gets worse or occurs with other concerning symptoms like a fever, go to the nearest emergency room.
