Discuss localized fat and body contour with Dr. James Kotick. Explore liposuction, its limitations, and existing Envision case photographs.
Liposuction removes localized fat to change body contour. Areas of concern and the quality of the overlying skin help guide an individualized discussion.
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and does not remove excess skin. Skin laxity may require a different or additional procedure.
Identify the areas you want to discuss and ask about skin elasticity, contour changes, garment use, and how swelling can affect the early appearance.
Ask for a personalized plan for time off, activity restrictions, wound care, and follow-up. Recovery timing depends on the procedure and your health.
Discuss scarring, healing problems, changes in sensation, and procedure-specific risks alongside the potential benefits. Ask about alternatives, including choosing no surgery.
