Summer is finally here, and while many are looking forward to beach days and pool parties, others are thinking about how to achieve that summer-ready body. Enter liposuction! It’s one of the top aesthetic procedures at our Baltimore practice and can help you finally get rid of unwanted fat and achieve the body you’ve always wanted.
What is Liposuction and Who Can Benefit From It?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess fat from targeted areas of the body. This procedure typically benefits individuals who are near their ideal body weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can be done on just about any part of the body, including:
- Arms
- Thighs
- Back
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Neck
- Buttocks
Ideal Candidate for Liposuction
While most patients who come into our Baltimore office looking for liposuction are good candidates for the procedure, there are some criteria we look for that make some individuals better candidates than others, including:
- Being in good overall health
- Nonsmokers
- Having realistic expectations
- Being at or near your ideal weight
- Not having any medical conditions that could affect the healing process
- Being committed to a healthy lifestyle
The Cost of Liposuction in Baltimore
The cost of liposuction depends on a variety of factors, including the area being treated and the amount of fat removed. Generally, liposuction in Baltimore ranges from $2000 to $3500 per treatment area. During the initial consultation, Dr. Rosenberg will provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs and goals.
Preparing for the Procedure
Preparing for your liposuction procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Rosenberg. During this consultation, you’ll discuss your goals and review your medical history, and Dr. Rosenberg will explain the procedure. You might be advised to stop taking certain medications two weeks before the surgery, and you’ll want to stick to a healthy diet and hydrate with plenty of water in the days and weeks leading up to your surgery.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from liposuction generally takes about one to two weeks. You may experience some swelling and bruising, which will gradually diminish, revealing your new summer-ready body. Dr. Rosenberg and his team will give you detailed post-operative care instructions to help speed up the recovery process. You’ll be given a compression garment and prescription pain medication to help ease swelling and bruising and to ensure your comfort.
Liposuction provides long-lasting results, but it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Following a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is essential to maintain and enhance your results.
