What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction removes pockets of stubborn fat from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, waist, hips, inner thighs, knees, arms, chest, back, and underneath the chin. It has been around for quite some time but continues to improve with new techniques and developments. Dr. Gray has practiced liposuction for many years with the intent of bringing his patients the most flawless results possible. It should be noted that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure; rather, it is a way to remove the last bits of fat that are hard to reach by working out or eating right.

What Type of Liposuction Does Dr. Gray Use?
There are many forms of liposuction, including laser liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction, 360 lipo, and more. After carefully assessing the capabilities and benefits of each method, Dr. Gray personally selected power-assisted liposuction.
Power-assisted liposuction utilizes a cannula with a vibrating tip to break down dense fat deposits quicker and easier for a faster recovery. This method has become Dr. Gray’s choice method, as it allows him to reach outstanding results safely, efficiently, and precisely.
How is Power-Assisted Liposuction Performed?
Your procedure will be performed under general anesthesia in Bay Area Plastic Surgery’s accredited surgical center. Dr. Gray first makes a small,hidden incision in which a cannula can be inserted. He then adds a tumescent solution comprised of saline, a local anesthetic (typically lidocaine), as well as a vasoconstrictor (normally epinephrine) to reduce bleeding. The cannula is then moved back and forth to loosen fatty deposits and simultaneously suction away the tissue.
Because the tip of the cannula vibrates, the process removes the fatty deposits more cleanly and quickly. Dr. Gray performs this procedure under general anesthesia, as he has found that this is the best way to ensure patient comfort.
What Can I Expect in my Liposuction Recovery?
Liposuction recovery is very manageable for most patients, especially since Dr. Gray’s methods allow for a fast and efficient recovery process. You will be given a full list of aftercare instructions to help you throughout your recovery phase.
Patients can generally expect:
Liposuction an outpatient procedure, meaning the majority of patients can go home on the same day. You will still need to arrange for someone to take you home afterward.
You will likely have moderate discomfort for the first several days, but Dr. Gray can prescribe you prescription medications and detailed aftercare instructions to help manage this. Pain and soreness typically dissipate within several weeks, while swelling can last around 6 weeks.
A compression garment kit consisting of two garments is purchased for each liposuction patient. These garments are hand made locally and the size is based on each individuals measurements. You will wear a compression garment home after surgery.
Many patients with low-exertion jobs return to work after 1-2 Others with more demanding jobs may need to wait a bit longer. After about four weeks, most people are able to resume light exercise, but any heavy or strenuous activity should still be avoided. Dr. Gray can help you decide these things in your follow-up appointments.
Dr. Gray and his team care about each patient’s well-being. He will schedule follow-ups with you and make himself available if you have any questions, issues, or concerns.
Lastly, patients choose Dr. Gray because of his reputation for providing the great results they desire. Dr. Gray will do everything he can to see that your outcome exceeds your expectations!
