LIPOSUCTION (Lipoplasty, suction-assisted lipoplasty)
THE DAY OF LIPOSUCTION SURGERY
Liposuction surgery requires anywhere
from 3-6 hours of preoperative
planning, operating time, and
recovery. During the preoperative phase, the patient will meet
with Dr. Vogt and a nurse to ensure that all questions have been
answered before proceeding with the surgery. Markings will be made
with the patient’s participation and the patient will
be asked to review each of
the markings with a large mirror to be sure that no area has been
missed.
The board certified medical
doctor anesthesiologist
(MDA) at the Plastic Surgery Center will meet with the patient
and carefully explain what type of an anesthetic will be utilized
for the operative procedure. The M.D.A. will be present throughout
the entire operative procedure to ensure the greatest
degree of comfort and safety
for the patient. After the liposuction surgery, a garment is applied
to the treated areas and the patient is transferred to the Recovery
Room in the care of a registered nurse who has Advanced Cardiac
Life Support (ACLS) training.
