Advanced Liposuction Pensacola, FL | Peter Butler, MD

What is Liposuction?

At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, advanced surgical liposuction effectively eliminates stubborn fat pockets. This precision procedure targets areas like flanks, tummy, buttocks, and thighs, helping patients achieve a leaner, more sculpted physique. During your consultation, our team will assess individual concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you look and feel your best.

Surgical Technique

Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. A small incision allows insertion of a specialized cannula to loosen and vacuum targeted fat deposits. The procedure duration ranges from 1-3 hours, depending on treatment areas. Post-surgery, a dedicated recovery nurse will assist with pain management and incision care until discharge.

Recovery and Expectations

Typical recovery requires 1-3 weeks of home rest, with swelling and bruising common during the initial two weeks. Sutures are typically removed 7-10 days post-surgery. Patients should:

• Take it easy and avoid strenuous activities
• Incorporate short walks as approved by the surgeon
• Understand final body contours may take 6-10 months to fully develop

Benefits of Liposuction

Ideal Candidates

Liposuction is ideal for healthy individuals with stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should have good skin elasticity and be near their ideal body weight. Women are advised to complete pregnancies before the procedure to maintain long-term results.

Consultation and Personalized Planning

Each liposuction procedure is uniquely tailored to the patient's body and aesthetic goals. During the consultation, our team will discuss realistic expectations, potential combination treatments, and develop a comprehensive approach to achieving your desired outcome.
