The procedure focuses on one-time fat removal, and Dr. Maier recommends regular fitness and dieting to keep the weight off following surgery.

What to Expect During and After Cosmetic Procedures

Abdominal incisions are made small and discreetly in the bikini area, so that the minor scars will not show after a procedure. Anesthesia is administered, and a full tummy tuck is typically completed within a few hours. A mini tummy tuck may be completed in as little as in hour through outpatient surgery. Recovery time varies with each patient. The amount of fat removed and skin improved will affect acute recovery time, or time when limited physical activity is recommended. This should only last 4 to 6 weeks, and driving is not recommended until at least 2 weeks after the procedure. A follow-up visit with Dr. Maier will be scheduled to check the progress of recovery, and a healthy diet and fitness routine is the best way to ensure long-term results following abdominoplasty. Internal sutures will dissolve after about 3 months. Numbness of the skin may persist for 6 months or more. Pain medication is prescribed for immediate recovery, and incision tape is changed 10 days after the procedure. Scarring should heal within a year. Most tummy tuck patients schedule related procedures to improve their body shape and contour, such as a thigh lift, liposuction or breast lift. In this case, planning for each specific procedure and recovery time will be part of the initial consultation.

Benefits and Risks of Liposuction

Liposuction in Ohio may be the only solution for especially stubborn body fat. Dr. Maier’s ultrasound assisted liposuction is perhaps the safest, most effective option for liposuction Cincinnati has to offer. Realistic expectations are essential. Firm, elastic skin reduces the risk of noticeable post-surgery droop or loose skin. Obese patients may not achieve dramatic results with a single liposuction surgery, meaning a more specific long-term body sculpting plan will be created. As with all surgeries, there is the risk of complications. Patients must share any known allergies or medical conditions that may affect the surgery. Cellulite is not improved through liposuction, as there are no proven surgical solutions to the appearance of cellulite. Age is not a determining factor for this procedure.
