Liposuction | Lipo360 / BBL

Liposuction is a fast and effective medical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas of your body where diets and exercise have not been effective. In summary, liposuction involves sucking the fat out of your body through small incisions in your skin. A cannula with small holes is passed back and forth many times through the area which contains the fat, and a vacuum sucks that fat out, and that area becomes smaller. If you have stubborn fat deposits, then our Liposuction NYC practice in New York City office can help you by removing that fat – fast and effectively.

Tumescent liposuction is currently the standard technique. All surgeons who perform liposuction these days use the tumescent technique. There are different machines, and additional devices such as a laser, which are used. But the most important factor for your result is the ability of your surgeon to remove the fat, you being a good candidate for the procedure, and you have realistic expectations. Everything else is secondary.

WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION (LIPO) 360?

It is a new term that means removing the fat full circle from your body. Your waist is 360 degrees around, and to make the thinnest waist possible, fat from the front, sides (love handles) and back, need to be removed. If you just get liposuction of your stomach, your stomach will be flatter, but your waist not as thin as it could be after circumferential liposuction.

WHY CONSIDER LIPOSUCTION?

Have you been working out tirelessly and following healthy eating? Have you struggled with “love-handles” that just won’t go away with exercise? Or, are you looking to kick-start your slimmer, leaner body ahead of beginning your weight-loss program, regular exercise, and an overall healthy lifestyle? If you answered “yes” to any of these, Dr. Kalsow can help you remove those stubborn and troublesome fat pockets with his LIPO360 NYC and Liposuction New York City procedures. Investing in liposuction could play a vital role in you achieving your ideal physical appearance.

BEFORE AFTER

NYC LIPOSUCTION GENERAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Although there are different iterations or variations of liposuction that Dr. Kalsow can use, there are common approaches across each liposuction procedure. Most liposuction procedures will follow this approach:

Dr. Kalsow will go over the plan with you in terms of where you would like the fat to be removed and possibly where to transfer the fat. He will then mark up your body for the aforementioned.
Most patients in Dr.Kalsow’s practice choose local anesthesia. You will receive Xanax and some pain medications half an hour before your procedure. You will be awake, and you will see and hear everything, but you will not feel any sharp pain. You will feel pushing and pulling. Numbing is the worst part, it lasts about 20 minutes. You will be asked to turn and position yourself the proper way to get the most fat out of your body. If you’re scared of needles, and would rather be sedated during the process, Dr. Kalsow will have an Anesthesiologist administer twilight anesthesia through an intravenous (IV). Twilight anesthesia is an anesthetic technique where a mild dose of general anesthesia is applied to induce anxiolysis (anxiety relief), hypnosis, and anterograde amnesia (inability to form new memories). You will not be unconscious but sedated but you will not remember anything about the procedure itself.
Small incisions are made at the site of where the liposuction treatment is intended to fill your fat with fluid which relaxes the fat and makes it numb.
A thin hollow tube known as a cannula will be inserted through the incisions and act as a suction device. The is passed back and forth many times through the area which contains the fat, and a vacuum sucks that fat out, and that area becomes smaller.
If you’re getting a Fat Transfer BBL or Lipo360 with BBL, Dr. Kalsow will inject fat back into the appropriate parts of your buttock. If there is no fat transfer as part of your procedure, the fat will be disposed of appropriately.

YOUR LIPOSUCTION CONSULTATION WITH DR. KALSOW

LIPOSUCTION CONSULTATION OVERVIEW

When planning for Liposuction or Lipo360 with BBL, Dr. Kalsow will discuss with you the following considerations during your in-person consultation:

Dr. Kalsow will also go over your problem areas and the expectation you have. He’ll also want to cover things like what amount of fat is optimal for extraction and from where, what is the best approach to achieve your aesthetic goals, and what you would look like after surgery.
Discuss options and explain the surgery with you. Specifically, he will cover what you need to do prior to surgery (pre-operative) steps as well as what to expect and do during your liposuction recovery period.
Discuss any additional/complementary treatments that would make sense to complete at the time of your liposuction procedure.
Schedule a date and time for your procedure!

WHAT liposuction Machine Does dr. kalsow use?

Dr. Kalsow leverages the latest technology by using the PAL – Power Assisted Liposuction machine by Microaire. In his hands this machine takes away the most fat, in the smoothest manner. Dr.Kalsow has performed hundreds of liposuction procedures with this device.

It uses a reciprocating motion (ranter than rotating) to better facilitate the movement of the cannula.

This reduces the amount of manual force and physical effort required to perform the liposuction procedure by the surgeon.

Some say it reduces your bruising and swelling. It might allow for a faster procedure and quicker recovery time.

Are You A Candidate For Liposuction?

If a part of your body insists on retaining its fat no matter how much weight you lose overall, you could benefit from liposuction.

Your Liposuction Options

By removing fat from certain areas, liposuction creates curves and thins the body. The fat can be transferred into another area of the body, such as buttocks, to further improve the silhouette.

WAIST LIPOSUCTION

Eliminate “love handles” or a “muffin top” by undergoing liposuction around your waist. By undergoing waist liposuction you will also achieve a desirable and beautiful hourglass shape, based on your body type.

THIGHS LIPOSUCTION

Looking to remove or get rid of the “banana roll” or create a “thigh gap”? Liposuction of the thighs will help. Almost any part of the thigh can be treated with liposuction, including just above the knee, under the butt (also known as the “banana roll”), the outer thighs, and the inner thighs to create the coveted “thigh gap”.

HIP LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction can remove those stubborn pockets of fat on the outside of the hips known as “saddle bags” to produce a more slender shape and silhouette.

CHEST LIPOSUCTION

Fat in the upper back that bulges out from bra bands can be smoothed. Men who suffer from pseudo-gynecomastia, or male breasts, can achieve the firm chest they desire with liposuction.

OTHER LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction can remove fat from other difficult areas you might not have thought of, such as the knees, calves, ankles, and many other areas that are difficult to target with diet and exercise

Important Facts on Breast Implant Augmentation

Patients report higher self esteem and an increase in body confidence following the surgery

Pre-emptive Anesthesia

Dr. Kalsow administers pre-emptive anesthesia. Pre-emptive anesthesia involves administering medication before your surgery begins in order to reduce your sensitivity. It has the ability to reduce post-operative pain and discomfort, both short and long term, making it more effective than delivering medication after the surgery has been completed, according to the study, Preemptive analgesia II: recent advances and current trends. Simply put, pre-emptive anesthesia “blocks pain from the get-go”. In fact, the recovery room nurses at the university hospital where Dr. Kalsow has privileges often remark that his patients tend to have a far easier recovery marked by less discomfort than those who are operated on by other surgeons. In addition, less anesthesia is administered overall.

General Anesthesia

General anesthesia can be administered, which is what most surgeons offer to patients. However, Dr. Kalsow is one of the very few plastic surgeons in the country who can also perform your procedure under local anesthesia with some oral sedation. Because it is such a comfortable surgical experience with a faster recovery, about half of patients opt for local anesthesia. You won’t have to deal with any of the risks or side effects related to general anesthesia, and your recovery will be faster. Some patients can have their surgery on a Thursday, then get back to their desk job by Monday!

TUBA (Transumbilical Breast Augmentation)

Dr. Kalsow can perform transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) under general anesthesia. This involves placing a minute incision in the belly button, measuring mere millimeters, making your scars virtually “invisible” and leaving the surface of your breast skin untouched. Applying the TUBA technique, you can choose to have saline implants placed above or below the muscle in a procedure that is far less traumatic than that of any other incision placement. For this reason, you’ll heal faster so you can enjoy your results faster!

Minimize Capsular Contracture

Dr. Kalsow has refined his surgical techniques to minimize the risk of capsular contracture, a common complication that can occur in many patients, according to the FDA. By doing such things as practicing strict infection control protocols and wiping the nipples with gauze then applying nipple shields during surgery, Dr. Kalsow has reduced his rate of capsular contracture to a minimal margin.

Cohesive Gel Silicone Implants

Dr. Kalsow has extensive knowledge of cohesive gel silicone breast implants because he participated in investigational studies before they were deemed safe for the public by the FDA. For this reason, he can better determine the most suitable implant size and shape that will achieve your desired results, based on his highly informed opinion.

Inframammary Fold

Lowering the inframammary fold involves cutting significant ligaments that support the breast, adhering it to the chest wall. This has been found to increase the risk of “bottoming out”, a complication that causes the implants to become displaced and move unfavorably downward in the chest, making revision surgery necessary. In fact, this complication is one of the most common problems Dr. Kalsow sees and fixes in patients who have had breast augmentation performed by other surgeons. For this reason, Dr. Kalsow never lowers the inframammary fold, preventing bottoming out. You can retain your original breast fold for a more natural-looking result. This also makes wearing an uncomfortable compression garment or bra right after your surgery 24/7 unnecessary, since there’s no concern about the breasts dropping too low. The discomfort from breast augmentation is often related to the pressure of the implant lifting up muscle, and wearing a bra just creates more pressure and hurts more. You’ll only have to wear a bra once your breasts settle into position, and this is usually two to four weeks after surgery.

Ace Wrap

Sizers are used during surgery to shape the area. This minimizes the risk of your implants going too far to the sides. Because your inframammary fold remains intact as well, you won’t need to wear a bra right after your surgery unless otherwise advised. Instead, an ace wrap is placed over the top of your chest, which you’ll remove the next day. Once your implants have settled in the right spot, you can then start wearing a bra regularly to maintain your long-term results (this is generally at two to four weeks after surgery). For this reason, you won’t have to deal with the discomfort and pain of wearing a constricting compression bra for weeks after your surgery, something that is commonly advised by other doctors.

We have helped many women improve their body contour and achieve highly satisfying results.

However, it is not suitable for every woman who wants it. You should consider these things to help you determine whether the surgery is right for you:

You are generally healthy, both physically and psychologically. Some medical conditions can make surgery unsafe. For example, you may not be a candidate if you have cancer, suffer from autoimmune disorders or experience issues with bleeding. Women with Body Dysmorphic Disorder are also unsuitable candidates. Consultation with Dr. Kalsow followed by lab work can help clarify your suitability.
You are not pregnant or breastfeeding. For your safety and to prevent disruption of breastfeeding, breast augmentation should only be performed about 6 months or so after pregnancy and after you’ve stopped breastfeeding.
You are having the surgery because you have made the choice to do it for your own reasons, and not for anyone else’s. Don’t let anyone force you into having the surgery because it’s your body and your health. You’ll have to live with the results because they are permanent.

+

You understand the risks and complications related to this cosmetic procedure. This allows you to make an informed decision on whether the surgery is right for you.
You are at least 18 years old if you’re considering saline implants, and 22 years old if you’re considering silicone cohesive gel implants.
You are of normal weight or close to it. Being underweight or overweight may increase surgical risks and complications. Results tend to be better when patients are of a healthy weight.
You don’t have an infection at the time of your surgery. Having an active infection at the time of your surgery can increase the risk of complications. This goes for other surgeries as well, such as liposuction.
You understand that to achieve a highly satisfying surgical outcome, you should follow all pre and post-surgical care instructions as outlined by Dr. Kalsow. These guidelines include what to do and not to do. For example, you’ll need to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for a couple of weeks before and after your surgery.
