Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Am I a good candidate for laser lipo/Smart lipo? I’m getting four areas done.
Am I a candidate for liposuction?
Aug 16, 2018
You can definitely have laser liposuction done, but it will do nothing for the loose skin you have at the bottom of your abdomen.  You would have the best result from an abdominoplasty and liposuction to the waist and back.  Be sure you discuss your expectations with your surgeon prior to surgery so you are not disappointed a few months later if things don’t turn out the way you had envisioned.  
Cost, recovery/down time, scarring?
Perfect for liposuction!
Aug 14, 2018
You are a great candidate for liposuction.  Yes, the incisions can be placed inside the umbilicus and will not be visualized.  Downtime is typically a day or two depending on your threshold for pain.  The cost of the procedure is dependent on the office you go to.  I typically charge 2000 dollars an area plus an operating room fee.  It is best to have a few consultations with multiple surgeons in order to see which one is the right fit for you!  
Really swollen 10 weeks after Smart Lipo surgery. Is fat coming back? Haven’t wore binder after 1st week
How long does it take for swelling to resolve following liposuction?
Jul 30, 2018
If you can,try not to worry so much.  I know that can be tough.  Remember it takes up to 6 months for all swelling to completely resolve.  As long as you follow the directions from your doctor for the post operative care and have a clean/healthy diet you will continue to lose inches and get to the goal you have set for yourself.  Keep up the good work!
Can I get Smart Lipo on my calves and ankles? Am I a candidate?
Liposuction to the legs
Jul 30, 2018
You would definitely be a candidate if during examination there is fat in the area that can be removed.  Your surgeon will discuss with you what you can realistically expect regarding your results.  If you experience an asymmetries following liposuction those are usually easy to correct with additional liposuction or fat grafting to the area.  Schedule a few consultations to determine which doctor feels right for you!
What is the best form of lipo for ideal results and fast recovery? I weigh 208 and I am 5’4’’.
What kind of liposuction should I get?
Jul 10, 2018
I believe the best thing to do is find a surgeon you feel comfortable with and whatever liposuction machines they use will provide you with a great result.  Keep in mind that most surgeons have a limit of fat they will remove before it is recommended to send you to the hospital for overnight observation.  You should try to lose some weight if possible prior to surgery to provide the best outcome for yourself.  The downtime with most liposuction techniques is minimal and you should be able …
I’m having a dental crown put on and scheduled Botox appointment for 2 hours afterwards. Should I cancel
Yes Botox after dental work is ok!
Jun 25, 2018
There is no need to cancel your Botox appointment.  Have your crown placed and then head over to have Botox to complete the refreshed look of your face.   
Mini tummy tuck with slim lipo, what is the expected downtime?
What is my downtime following a minituck and liposuction?
Jun 25, 2018
Without doing an in office examination and based from your photos alone, you most likely do not need a minituck and would see improvement in your contour of the abdomen and flanks with liposuction alone.  I inform my patients during our consultation that you will see results right away.  However, swelling kicks in around the second day following the procedure and does not begin to subside until 6 weeks later.   At 3 months you can ultimately see your final result.  So basically, betwee…
