Liposuction

Many people have parts of their physique that bother them – the areas where any unwanted weight always seems to go. People often discover that no amount of exercise and even the healthiest diet cannot prevent those fat deposits from forming. For stubborn areas of fat that are having a negative impact on appearance and self-esteem, many people in suburban Chicago choose liposuction from Dr. Sandeep Jejurikar.

To learn more about liposuction, you can request a free cosmetic consultation online or call Dr. Jejurikar's office at (630) 960-0023 in Downers Grove or (847) 755-1000 in Hoffman Estates.

Liposuction Considerations

Although traditional methods of liposuction have been consistently popular, new and advanced techniques are giving men and women expanded options. In addition to traditional liposuction, Dr. Jejurikar's suburban Chicago practice offers ultrasonic liposuction. Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasound waves to break apart fat cells, making them easier to remove. For many patients, this technique causes less pain, swelling, and bruising, and can even allow for a faster recovery. Dr. Jejurikar will help determine the safest and most effective method of liposuction for you. He may also talk with you about other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck in the Chicago area that could help you improve your appearance.

If you decide to have liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover, you may want to add a breast enhancement surgery like breast lift or breast enlargement in the Chicago area for more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Jejurikar will help you customize your Mommy Makeover to achieve your goals.

The Liposuction Procedure

For some patients in the Chicago area, liposuction can be performed using only intravenous sedation and local anesthesia, but general anesthesia is also an option. Generally, the treatment area is infused with tumescent fluid (a sterile solution) that will act as an anesthetic and will help reduce bleeding. A tiny tube called a "cannula" will be inserted through a small incision and will be used to remove fat cells. The liposuction procedure can be performed on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs , back, buttocks, and neck.

Recovery & Results

Recovery after liposuction depends upon the method of liposuction performed, the areas being treated and the overall health of the patient. Most people experience some swelling and bruising, but these fade with time. Dr. Jejurikar will give you detailed instructions for the post-surgical period and will let you know when you can expect to resume your usual activities.

When recovery is complete, most men and women feel like they finally have a figure that reflects their healthy lifestyle. If they continue to exercise regularly and eat right, these people can expect their slim, svelte figures to last.
