Liposuction in Detroit, MI
If you are struggling with stubborn body fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise, tumescent liposuction may be the perfect solution. Under the care of Dr. Mona Hardas, a renowned cosmetic gynecologist and body sculpting expert, countless women in the Detroit area have achieved their body shaping goals with liposuction, effectively eradicating unwanted fat to reveal slimmer, shapelier contours.
What Is Tumescent Liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure that offers reduced recovery time and lower risk compared to traditional liposuction. During the procedure, tumescent fluid, which contains saline, local anesthetic (lidocaine), and epinephrine, is injected into the treatment area. This solution numbs the tissue, minimizes bleeding, and prepares the fat for easier removal. Then, a thin cannula is inserted via small incisions and used to gently suction out the fat.
Benefits of Liposuction with Dr. Mona
- Tailored for women – Dr. Mona specializes in liposuction for women, applying her advanced knowledge of female anatomy and aesthetics to deliver exceptional results.
- Precision body shaping – Tumescent lipo is ideal for targeting localized fat in problem areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms.
- Minimally invasive – The use of local anesthesia means no hospital stay and faster recovery.
- Long-lasting results – Once fat cells are removed, they are gone for good.
What to Expect with Liposuction
The liposuction treatment process begins with a comprehensive and complimentary consultation at one of Dr. Mona’s offices in Flint or Bloomfield Hills. She will speak with you about your aesthetic concerns, assess the proposed treatment areas, and determine if tumescent lipo is the best way to achieve your desired results.
On the day of the procedure, the tumescent solution will be injected into the treatment area. Once the area is fully numbed, Dr. Mona will make tiny, discreet incisions and carefully remove excess fat using a specialized cannula. The procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on the size and number of areas treated.
What to Expect During Liposuction Recovery
You’ll be able to go home the same day. While mild swelling, bruising, and soreness can occur for a few days, discomfort is usually easily managed with over-the-counter medications. Compression garments must be worn as directed to support healing and help the skin adjust to your new contours.
Most women return to normal activities within a few days and can resume light exercise after about a week. More strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks or more as advised by Dr. Mona.
Liposuction Results
After liposuction, patients consistently report a boost in body confidence and satisfaction with their appearance. Your final results will become visible over three to six months as residual swelling fully subsides.
Tumescent liposuction provides significant and long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle. Since the targeted fat cells are permanently removed, they cannot regenerate. As long as you maintain a relatively stable weight, you can enjoy your enhanced body shape for years to come.
Liposuction FAQs
How much does liposuction cost in the Detroit area?
The cost of liposuction depends on the number of areas treated and the complexity of your fat reduction procedure. Dr. Mona will provide personalized pricing details during your consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
If you have localized fat deposits that have not responded to diet or exercise, and you are free of any medical conditions that might impede the natural healing process, you may be a good candidate for liposuction. It is important that candidates are at a stable, healthy weight, as liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment.
What areas can be treated with liposuction?
Dr. Mona specializes in liposuction for the body. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, hips, buttocks, upper arms, and back.
Is the procedure painful?
Because the area is numbed with local anesthesia, patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is common but is typically easily manageable.
How long is liposuction recovery?
The initial liposuction recovery period is relatively quick, with most patients resuming non-strenuous work within a few days. High-intensity exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about two to four weeks, based on Dr. Mona's specific guidance.
