Before and after liposuction of the body in a 67 year old woman. Her wedding was coming up in several months – she wanted to look her best when she tied the knot with her new love! We recommend patients allow at least 3-6 months of healing before a major event like a wedding.
She was worried she was too old for surgery, but she was cleared by her Family Doctor to have general anesthesia and a several hour long Plastic Surgery procedure. We do everything possible during surgery to prevent anesthesia-related complications such as blood clots forming in the legs (DVT), and we keep our patients warm throughout their operation with an underbody and surface non-forced air warming system with decreases bleeding and infection risks.
Together with a breast lift and abdominoplasty, liposuction permanently removed several liters of unwanted fat from her arms, upper back and bra roll, abdomen, circumferential flanks and upper inner and outer thighs. After surgery, she wore compression garments that limited swelling and bruising and encouraged her skin to mold to its new form.
Early follow up photos are shown two and a half months after surgery. She can already see progress in her midsection and she can’t wait to try on fitted wedding dresses!
