Welcome to our Liposuction informational page. Here we will discuss the different liposuction surgery options offered by Dr. Golger and the team at Avenue Plastic Surgery here in Toronto.

Liposuction Surgery in Toronto

Liposuction, or Lipoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure meant to remove entire fat cells from specific areas around your body. Available to both men and women, liposuction, can be used in trouble spots such as your thighs, buttocks, arms, and stomach.

Liposuction is performed utilizing a very small incision in which a small liposuction wand is used to literally melt the fat and vacuum the fatty deposits away from your body. Even though the principle remains the same, several techniques have been developed over the years, involving laser, ultra-sounds or fluids for example. You can discuss with Dr. Golger which application is right for you.

Although liposuction is fairly common, in fact it remains to this day one of the top five plastic surgery procedures, this is surgery and as such is not recommended for people other than adults that are in good health.

The Liposuction Misconception

A common misconception is that liposuction is a technique used for weight loss: it is not. As a matter of fact, many surgeons will encourage patients to look for more traditional ways of losing weight before resorting to this somewhat heavy and not risk-free procedure. A balanced diet and nutrition plan is a great way to start before coming in and getting those last few spots taken care of through liposuction.

Reduced Complications From Liposuction

The risk of complications has been significantly reduced, making liposuction much safer than it used to be just a decade ago. Some patients might be more prone to complications than others and should expect Dr. Golger to fully assess their risk factors. It is commonly accepted that the scale of the operation will increase the chances of complications (i.e. the greater the amount of fat removed, the higher the risk). For that reason, more than one session could be necessary, with enough time between sessions to ensure proper recovery and lower risks.

Side Effects

Side effects, like in most plastic surgery operations, can include swelling, pain, minimal scarring, numbness and difficulty of movement. However, that is why Dr. Golger will discuss with you all of the potential side effects and the best ways to minimize any potential side effects that may arise after your procedure. This includes proper after hospital care and medication prescriptions.

Recovery

Recovery can take up to a few weeks (to get back to a normal life); while months may be required before the full results become apparent. The assessment of Dr. Golger prior to the surgical operation will be crucial to determine what the best approach will be in order to obtain the best result and minimize the risk.
