Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center is proud to offer the latest methods to safely get rid of fat from areas of concern on the body. Liposuction is an enhancement surgery that removes fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, flanks and buttocks as well as neck area in a procedure called submental liposuction. Men generally request improvement in their chest, flanks and abdomen and submental area. This procedure produces a slimmer appearance. This fat removal surgery at our practice can be blended to treat several body parts. During your initial visit, Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle will examine areas of your body you wish to address so you can reach your cosmetic surgery goals. Vaser liposuction is almost always utilized and is particularly effective for men whose fat deposits are more fibrous especially in the chest and flanks. Liposuction is generally not a good tool for losing weight although some weight will be lost. It is reserved for stubborn areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Ideal Candidates
Liposuction is a terrific procedure for men and women who are at a healthy weight but have troublesome areas of fat that are difficult to rid with even the most healthy lifestyle. Individuals interested in liposuction should have reasonably taut skin because liposuction does not address stretched-out skin. It is also important to know that liposuction is not a solution for losing weight. During your initial consultation, Dr. Lyle will set realistic expectations.
Surgical Technique
This treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. Smaller areas can be done in the office under a local anesthetic when awake or with a mild sedative. A very small incision is made in the skin and a cannula will be placed in the incision. The cannula is a special tool that helps loosen the fat as it is being vacuumed out. Once the fatty deposits have been eliminated, Dr. Lyle will close the incision. Depending on the number of areas being treated, your surgery could last 1 – 3 hours. In the dedicated recovery area, your post-op nurse will help manage any discomfort and care for your treated areas until your discharge. Dr. Lyle uses several technologies to achieve optimal results. He is one of the only plastic surgeons in the Raleigh-Durham area to utilize the Vaser device. This is a Special probe that uses ultrasonic energy to gently shatter the fat and free it from its surrounding areas and then he uses power assisted liposuction to remove the fat. Vaser helps to emulsify the fat and often allows for more definition and some degree of skin shrinkage. It is also ideal for targeting tough areas like the flanks and male breast.
What to Expect
You may need to stay at home for recovery from liposuction surgery for a week depending on the number of sections treated and the size of the treatment area. It is normal to see swelling and bruising for 1 – 3 weeks. What is most important after having any surgery is to allow your body time to recover and heal. When you decide to return to work after your procedure, you should remember to minimize stress and strenuous activity. To build up your strength, stick to walking and light workouts as recommended by Dr. Lyle. Return to the gym or full workouts is much quicker than a procedure like tummy tuck Since the incisions are so small
Remember, you may notice some changes after six weeks, but it takes 3 – 6 months before your new body shape and contour is attained.
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center Reviews
Tummy is flat & toned & breasts are beautiful & proportional to my body - Dr. Lyle recently performed my mommy makeover procedure and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the initial consultation to the post-op care, Dr. Lyle’s expertise was evident every step of the way.After having dreamed of a mommy makeover for 10 years, when the time finally came I was very nervous. Dr. Lyle took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures and answer every question I had, ensuring that I felt comfortable and well-informed. His attention to detail and precision in his work absolutely sets him apart as a skilled plastic surgeon. This truly was a life changing experience for me and I am beyond thrilled with the results. My tummy is flat and toned (my belly button is gorgeous!) and my breasts are beautiful and proportional to my body. The results are natural looking and beyond what I ever dreamed possible. Thanks to Dr. Lyle, I feel like a brand new person. The surgery not only gave me back my pre-pregnancy body but boosted my confidence and self-esteem and gave me a new outlook on life. I am absolutely overjoyed with my new body. Words could never express adequately the gratitude I feel to Dr. Lyle and his wonderful staff. He is an exceptional surgeon and his nurses and staff are a joy to be around.If you are considering any plastic surgery, but particularly abdominoplasty, breast reduction or liposuction, I highly recommend Dr. Lyle for his outstanding skills, excellent patient care and dedication to achieving natural-looking results. Thank you, Dr. Lyle, for making this experience the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.
