Spring into Action: Unveil a New You with Liposuction at Amavi Aesthetic Surgery in Denver

04/24/2024

Are you bothered by stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge? Even with regular exercise and a healthy diet, many individuals cannot achieve their desired physique. This spring, why not take a step towards embracing a more confident version of yourself? Consider liposuction at Amavi Aesthetic Surgery in Denver, carefully executed by the highly experienced Dr. Aline Rau.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction allows for the precise removal and sculpting of fat to help achieve a contoured body shape. It is versatile and can be performed on most areas of the body. Some popular areas that are treated with liposuction include the abdomen, love handles, back, thighs, upper arms, and under the chin. 

There are various liposuction techniques, each with their own unique benefits. At Amavi, we perform:

Tumescent Liposuction

This is the most common liposuction technique. It involves using a sterile solution of lidocaine and epinephrine, which acts to numb the area being treated and allows for the safe removal of fat. Small and inconspicuous incisions are made to remove fat cells with a narrow cannula.

Radio Frequency-Assisted Liposuction 

At Amavi, we can combine liposuction with radio frequency skin tightening, such as BodyTite and FaceTite, to help prevent or lessen the risk of loose skin after fat removal. This is done at the same time as the liposuction procedure, and does not require extra incisions.

Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be used if it is combined with other surgeries, such as a tummy tuck or a breast augmentation.

The Advantages of Liposuction

Liposuction is not just about removing fat; it’s also about reshaping your body to flatter and enhance your natural figure. The benefits are numerous, including:

  • Removal of stubborn fat pockets
  • Improved body proportion and contour
  • Boost in self-esteem
  • Long-lasting results

Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?

The ideal candidate for liposuction is an individual with realistic expectations, relatively good health, and persistent fat deposits that can’t be addressed by exercise and diet alone. Your experience at our clinic would begin with a personal consultation with Dr. Aline Rau. She believes in understanding your needs and your expectations, engaging in open communication, and discussing your options. To learn more about candidacy, please get in touch with our office today to schedule a consultation. 

What to Expect After Liposuction

At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our patients. Post-procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Pain medication is prescribed to alleviate discomfort, and a compression garment will need to be worn to ensure optimal results. You should refrain from strenuous exercise for several weeks. Dr. Rau will provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure a swift and smooth recovery.
