Liposuction is one of the more customizable plastic surgery procedures, which may be performed independently or as a support to other procedures. Experienced liposuction surgeons like to educate patients about all aspects of the procedure before a final decision is made. They may also make use of liposuction before and after photographs during the pre-op consultations.
A well-informed patient will typically make better choices through the liposuction surgery process. Board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin provide liposuction to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding communities.
 

What are Liposuction Plastic Surgery Before and after Images?

Before and after images in case of liposuction plastic surgery refer to a pair or group of pictures pertaining to an earlier patient who has received the same procedure with a satisfying outcome. The pictures include images taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a time when the post-operative recovery is completed and full results of liposuction can be seen.
The plastic surgeon will ensure that the before and after photos are acquired with full knowledge and consent of the patient, and presented before new patients in an appropriate manner. The patient’s identity usually remains undisclosed in this exercise. The purpose behind these photos is to use them as a visual tool to explain various aspects of liposuction to new patients and help them make an informed choice.
 

Benefits

Any plastic surgery procedure such as liposuction should be chosen only when the patient has completely understood its potential effectiveness in meeting their personal goals and needs. Liposuction before and after photos can play a vital role in ensuring that this pre-requisite is fulfilled.
Some patients may need only limited liposuction in a single area, while others may need more extensive surgery in multiple areas or in conjunction with other procedures. Different liposuction techniques may be recommended for different patients. In all cases, optimal choices can be made when the patient has access to before and after photos.
 

Staying Realistic

Cosmetic surgeons know from experience that best satisfaction levels can be achieved when a patient has a positive attitude, clear aesthetic goals, and realistic expectations. Therefore, they prefer to show liposuction before and after photos at the very first appointment. Once the patient knows exactly what to expect and what not to expect from the procedure, they will feel more satisfied in the end.
It avoids the possibility of any unpleasant surprises or disappointments for the patient after the procedure has been performed. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas for liposuction surgery.
 

Web Gallery

Most cosmetic surgeons have their own practice website, which may include an online photo gallery with liposuction before and after images. This will provide free access to anyone who wishes to learn about the potential benefits of liposuction. New patients may decide whether to seek a liposuction consultation after they have reviewed the photos online.
These photos are awesome. Cosmetic surgeons such as Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin were not the first professionals to utilize digital photos to help out potential customers, in this case patients. But with their outstanding craftsmanship and surgical skills, digital photography is just icing on the cake. It may be actually part of the cake too. Now patients can see incredible pictures with all those pixels so they know exactly what they are getting into before they actually decide this is the route they want to take.

Liposuction is a major plastic surgery procedure that should be considered carefully according to the patient’s needs, while costs should be a secondary consideration. However, cost still remains a starting point for many patients for an elective procedure such as liposuction. During the first appointment, the surgeon will discuss all aspects, including the estimate cost of liposuction.
The foremost concern of the plastic surgeon is to ensure that the patient makes a well-informed decision about the procedure.

Extent of Surgery

One of the key determinants of the sticker price of liposuction plastic surgery is the amount of fat to be removed and the number of areas to be treated. For instance, fat removal from the abdomen may cost much lesser in comparison to fat reduction from the midsection, flanks, and buttocks.
In many cases, liposuction is combined with other procedures, which will make the overall procedure more cost-effective. Some patients may choose advanced skin etching or high definition liposuction techniques to attain a “six pack” look, which can cost much more.
 

Fee Charged by the Surgeon

A highly trained and experienced plastic surgeon may charge a higher fee in many cases. These surgeons are hard-pressed for time because of the large number of patients who seek their services. These surgeons will often employ latest technologies and techniques, which could also cost more. For instance, laser, or radio frequency assisted liposuction can be less invasive, but these technologies come for a price.
In any case, the patient is likely to reap benefits for a long time after paying a one-time fee for such an advanced aesthetic surgery procedure. The plastic surgeons at MBody receive patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas.
 

Surgical Facility, Anesthesia, and Recovery

Liposuction procedure may be performed at a surgeon’s private surgical suite or at a hospital, which can be the costlier option. Nowadays many procedures are also performed at ambulatory surgical centers, which are less expensive compared to a hospital but may be better equipped than a surgical suite.
If the procedure is performed using general anesthesia, it will involve the services of an anesthesiologist or a certified anesthetist nurse. Local anesthesia will cost much lesser in case the surgeon chooses this option. Recovery process in liposuction may also involve certain expenses such as surgical garments, prescription drugs, and post-operative visits to the surgeon’s office.
 

Insurance

Liposuction is primarily an elective procedure performed for cosmetic purposes, which precludes insurance coverage in most cases. However, if excessive fat deposits have occurred due to chronic steroid developments, or lipedema, which is a rare disease involving excess fatty tissue in the legs, the insurance coverage may be available. In a few cases, even breast reduction through liposuction may be fully or partially covered under insurance.
