Liposuction is about balance and proportion

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 11:46 pm

Liposuction ideally should balance a person’s body out.  A good, liposuction candidate is for people who have stubborn areas that cannot be gotten rid of with diet and exercise.  It is not necessarily important for Dr. Amron to have a person at their ideal body weight to perform liposuction.  For him, it is about having a good eye in terms of seeing where they’re out of balance; and then using liposuction to balance their body out.  If the surgeon does not pay attention to this and only evaluates one or two areas; it is possible to throw a person out of balance and proportion.


Steps to good results with liposuction

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 11:22 pm

What constitutes a good liposuction result? To Dr. Amron, a good result begins with the proper evaluation of the patient.  When he evaluates a patient for liposuction surgery, he evaluates their entire body, from their neck down to their ankles to determine where they’re in and out of proportion.  This is because to Dr. Amron, liposuction is a tool to target areas of genetic disproportion.

Liposuction under general anethesia allows better results

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 10:27 pm

The reason Dr. Amron performs liposuction under local anesthesia is because it allows him to obtain far better results.  The reasoning for this is that liposuction is a very different type of surgery.  It’s not a cutting and sewing surgery.  It’s a contouring and sculpturing procedure.  When the patient is not in the proper position the surgeon inevitably pokes or jabs the skin from underneath.  This is what Dr. Amron feels is the most important factor in terms of the surgeon getting a bad result and causing rippling and indentations.  He is very careful to never jab the skin from underneath or drag the cannula on the skin. This is why he has such good results in terms of a smooth contour.


Why liposuction is safer under local anesthesia

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 10:07 pm

With liposuction under local anesthesia, there is far less bleeding due to the pressure phenomenon of a local anesthesia.   Also, the local anesthesia helps to hydro-dissect the fatty tissue and allows much more pure fat removal.  (Hydro-dissection: separating with water)


Liposuction under local anesthesia

Liposuction under local anesthesia typically has a faster recovery, according to Dr. Amron.  This is because the local anesthesia is only in the fat layer and the surgeon is not able to poke or jab the muscle.  This commonly goes on under general anesthesia causing more trauma and bleeding.


Pure Tumescent Liposuction

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 9:44 pm

The way Dr. Amron performs liposuction is called pure tumescent liposuction, which is done under local anesthesia.  This technique separates it from other forms of liposuction that are under general anesthesia.  Dr. Amron prefers not to combine liposuction with general anesthesia.


Liposuction, one of the most common cosmetic procedures

Filed under: Liposuction — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 9:27 pm

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery in the United States.  With a revision rate of 25 percent, it also appears to have the highest revision rate of any cosmetic surgery in the United States.  This means that almost 1 in 4 liposuctions are revised because of poor results the first time around.  Dr. Amron believes it is very important to try to get it right the first time and his revision rate for liposuction surgery is approximately 1 in a 1,000.

Is swelling three months after rhinoplasty normal?

Filed under: Rhinoplasty — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 10:32 pm

Swelling and sometimes a hard-feeling nose is very normal two or three months after rhinoplasty or even longer.  It takes a long time for the swelling to go down.  It can take a full year, possibly longer for the nose to heal.  For more information or questions on rhinoplasty, contact us.


Why do I have to stop taking accutane after a rhinoplasty

Filed under: Rhinoplasty — Dr. Paul S. Nassif @ 10:23 pm

According to Dr. Nassif, “We ask patients to stop taking accutane for about three months after a rhinoplasty procedure.  This is because we want to be sure there is not decreased activity of the sebaceous gland and maybe even some decreased healing of the nasal tip.  This is the reason why I like to wait the three months.”
