Liposuction & Liposculpture in Los AngelesAt his Los Angeles practice, Dr. Osman begins liposuction and liposculpture by outlining the area(s) to be sculpted carefully. Once marked, tiny entrance ports are made, and the area to be sculpted is numbed using a dilute solution of local anesthesia. After numbing, liposuction (liposculpture) begins, and the unwanted fat is removed using microsurgical suctioning tubes called cannulas. Infiltrating the fat with anesthesia prior to suctioning facilitates fat removal, reduces blood loss, provides anesthesia during and after surgery, and helps to reduce the amount of bruising after surgery.
Liposuction and lipoculpture using only local anesthesia maximizes fat removal and offers patients the highest safety record and a fast recovery.
Local Anesthesia Liposuction & Liposculpture Maximize Fat Removal
More fat can be removed using Dr. Osman's technique of liposuction and liposculpture because fat is loosened and spread apart as the area is filled with numbing solution. Smaller cannulas (tubes) and less force are needed to remove the fat. Less force leads to less trauma, smoother results, and a quicker recovery.
Less Pain and Faster Recovery with Local Anesthesia Liposuction & Liposculpture
We have all heard stories of patients going through a painful and prolonged recovery after traditional liposuction surgery done under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia liposuction and liposculpture is a far more comfortable experience. Dr. Osman minimizes post-operative pain by using the smallest suction tubes possible to limit trauma during the procedure. Less trauma causes less bruising and leads to a faster recovery. Also, the local anesthesia used in liposuction and liposculpture wears off very slowly providing comfort for hours after the procedure. Further, there is no post-operative nausea or vomiting that can occur when general anesthesia is used. Discomfort during liposuction and liposculpture is minimized by numbing the areas to be suctioned slowly and with oral medications. Most of Dr. Osman's patients can return to work in 1 - 2 days after their procedure.
Safest technique
Liposuction and liposculpture using local anesthesia only has an excellent safety record. No cases of death have ever been reported as a result of liposuction (liposculpture) wihout sedation. In contrast, deaths have been reported with other forms of liposuction when sedation has been used, and the risk increases if other procedures are performed at the same time as liposuction.
After surgery, patients can go home the same day and can usually return to work within two days. Patients may return to strenuous activity, including exercise, cautiously as soon as they feel ready. Results are visible immediately, though improvement may continue as swelling subsides during the first two to three months. Scars are small and inconspicuous.
