Body Contouring in Washington DC
Address Stubborn Fat with Liposuction
It may seem like working out and eating well should be enough to achieve your body goals, but many of us find we have stubborn areas of fat that need a little extra help. At Peel Haus, we offer body contouring in Washington, DC to help shape your figure and enhance the natural lines of your body for a more toned and sculpted appearance.
Does Liposuction Really Work?
Yes, liposuction is an effective treatment for body contouring in Washington, DC. It works by using a cannula, a thin tube, inserted through tiny incisions to suction out fat cells from targeted areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms. Liposuction can reduce fat in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
How Much Weight Do You Lose with Body Contouring?
Liposuction is not weight loss surgery. In fact, ideal candidates are at or close to their goal weight. While you may drop a few pounds after getting body contouring in Washington, DC that is not the goal of the procedure.
Is Body Contouring Permanent?
Yes, and no. Once the fat cells are removed, they’re gone for good. However, if you gain weight, new cells could form in their place. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise to preserve the longevity of your results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is an excellent procedure for targeted fat reduction and is a highly effective form of body contouring in Washington, DC. However, it’s not a weight-loss treatment. At Peel Haus, ideal candidates are at or close to their ideal weight but still have localized pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It’s also important that the ski have good elasticity to ensure smooth, contoured results. A consultation with our plastic surgery team is the best way to find out if liposuction is right for you.
What is the Difference Between Liposuction and truSculpt?
We get this question a lot, since we offer both treatments. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat cells through small incisions, giving you immediate fat reduction. There is some downtime associated with liposuction.
truSculpt uses radio-frequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells. With this non-surgical treatment, the fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following weeks and months.
The best way to know which is best for you is to schedule a consultation for body contouring in Washington, DC at Peel Haus.
What is Downtime and Recovery Like for Liposuction?
Liposuction is considered a surgical option for body contouring in Washington, DC, but for most patients, the downtime is manageable. Most patients like to take around a week off from work and activity following their procedure. After 4-6 weeks of light activity, you will be ready to resume normal activities. A compression garment will need to be worn for several weeks to help manage swelling and ensure the best outcome from your treatment.
Is Liposuction Safe?
Anytime you’re having a surgical procedure, safety is a top concern. At Peel Haus, our plastic surgery team is board-certified with years of experience, ensuring the safest treatment possible. As with any surgery, there are potential risks that we can discuss at your consultation. However, when you choose a top plastic surgeon for body contouring in Washington, DC, those risks are significantly reduced.
