ABOUT LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction has been helping people achieve a slimmer appearance for years. Due to the advances in technology over the past years, cutting-edge techniques are now implemented to perfect results and make treatments safer.
It is important to take note that liposuction cannot remove large amounts of fat and is not a means for significant weight loss. Rather, liposuction is used to diminish small amounts of fat that are resistant to exercise and dieting.
This fat is called subcutaneous and is very stubborn. Many times people require surgical intervention to remove this fat. Liposuction will help slim down bothersome pockets of fat and restore attractive curves. Lipo surgery can be used all along the body, including areas such as the thighs, abdomen, knees, chest, chin, buttocks, hips, upper arms, back, and flanks.

LIPOSUCTION WITH DR. DANIEL BROWN
At our office, we provide our patients with many different forms of liposuction. These different techniques include:
SUCTION-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
This form of liposuction has been around the longest and is a proven technique at removing fat and sculpting the body. In a suction-assisted lipo surgery, a small incision is made through which a thin hollow tube is inserted. This tube removes fat with negative pressure, allowing Dr. Brown to mold the body and get rid of unnecessary fat.
POWER-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
Power-assisted lipo surgery is similar to suction-assisted except there is a device attached to the cannula that causes it to vibrate. These vibrations further break up fat cells and allow less trauma to occur to the surrounding healthy tissues. This treatment helps to reduce the procedure time and downtime.
SMARTLIPO
Laser-assisted liposuction like SmartLipo uses a fine laser fiber to emulsify fat cells. The liquefying of the cells allows for quick removal. The laser provides the added benefit of localized skin tightening. The heat from the laser boosts collagen levels in the skin. Collagen is responsible for keeping the skin firm, thick and healthy. SmartLipo promotes fast recovery and excellent results.
VASER HI-DEF LIPOSUCTION
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy and Resonance. This technique uses ultrasound waves to remove fat cells and allow for fast efficient removal of fat stores along the flank. Tumescent fluid is used alongside Vaser Hi-Def lipo. This fluid is composed of epinephrine, anesthesia, and saline.
Together, these components work to separate fat cells from healthy tissue, constrict blood vessels and numb the treatment area. Tumescent fluid provides a safer procedure by minimizing blood loss and maximizing the speed at which fat is removed. With less bleeding, your recovery will be shorter and more comfortable. In a Vaser lipo treatment, tumescent fluid is administered to the treatment area. Then the ultrasound probe is inserted and the sound waves emitted from the probe fluctuate the air bubbles present in the fluid. This agitation fluctuates the air bubbles which gently dislodge fat cells from the surrounding tissue. The fluid and fat cells are then removed via a cannula.
These methods are designed to treat an array of concerns and achieve different results. Dr. Brown will examine your flanks and determine which form of lipo method is best for the outcome you want.
BENEFITS
The primary advantage of liposuction treatment is that it will provide immediate results! Due to the invasive nature of the treatment, the unwanted fat will be removed from the flanks right away. Dr. Brown will work meticulously to slim down the sides of your body and enhance your curves. These results will be noticeable right away after surgery.

CANDIDATES

Ideally, the patient will be able to pause any smoking habits for a few weeks before and after treatment. We recommend anyone interested in flank liposuction to reach out to our office.

PREPARATION
Preparing for your surgery sets you up for positive results. Dr. Brown will go over the steps you will need to follow, such as:
- Filling and picking up prescriptions
- Setting aside an area of your home to rest and recoup
- Arranging rides to and from the surgical appointment
- Arranging for someone to stay with you for the first few nights
- Taking time off from work
- Pausing smoking habits
More in-depth instructions will be provided in your meeting. Please call our office with any questions or last-minute concerns. We are here to help you and make this process stress-free.
LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE
The first step of any procedure is making sure you are comfortable. Your flanks will be cleaned and marked for surgery. Anesthesia will then be administered to ensure you are relaxed through the treatment. The predetermined lipo technique will be applied and Dr. Brown will masterfully sculpt your body. Once the desired outcome is achieved, your incisions will be closed and bandages applied. You will be taken to a recovery room where you will be monitored until you wake up. Once you are deemed healthy to go home, your arranged ride will take you home. The whole procedure will last about two hours.
RECOVERY
After treatment, your flanks will be swollen and sensitive. You will need to sleep on your stomach for a while to avoid putting pressure on incisions. Compression garments will need to be work for a week or longer to decrease swelling and help your new results set in. Prescribed medications will improve your healing process and allow you to control any discomfort.
For the first few days of downtime, it is very important to get plenty of rest and drink a lot of water. Most patients require about a week of downtime after which they can return to work. Strenuous activities like intense workouts will need to be avoided for four to six weeks.
Attending follow-up appointments will be an important aspect of obtaining your best results. These appointments will let Dr. Brown examine your flanks and incisions and let you know what to expect for the rest of your recovery.
RESULTS
A difference in the shape of your body will be immediately noticeable. These results will get better as the swelling goes down and your body adjusts to Dr. Brown’s sculpting. Final results will set in after about four to six weeks. This outcome achieved with liposuction will last you years! The fat that has been removed cannot return, it is gone for good. Healthy eating and exercises will keep your body slim and attractive!
