Women and men near Hagerstown and Frederick consider Maryland liposuction for many different reasons. One of the most common goals is to remove excess fat that resists diet and exercise. Good candidates for liposuction are within a healthy weight range but have a specific problem area where they desire improvement for a slimmer, more proportioned body contour.

This woman sought a consultation with Dr. Kress to get a better idea of her options to achieve a more normal appearance by removing fat in her lower abdominal area and, especially, the outer thighs. Dr. Kress was happy to explain her possible procedure choices, and recommended liposuction to re-contour both her belly area and the "saddlebags" on her outer thighs.

While performing liposuction, Dr. Kress uses tumescent solution to loosen the fat cells and close blood vessels near the surgical site, keeping post-surgical discomfort to a minimum. This technique also allows for a quicker recovery because it minimizes swelling and other typical post-operative side effects. Dr. Kress performs liposuction for both men and women, so when he plans his procedures he takes into account the fact that women and men store fat differently and have different goals for their final shape.

This woman is now enjoying the positive results of her plastic surgery in Maryland, as her post-operative photos show a significant reduction of fat deposits on her lower abdomen and thighs. Dr. Kress places his patients in compression garments following liposuction surgery to encourage the skin to shrink down; these garments also help minimize postsurgical discomfort. While most liposuction patients are back to work after about a week, recovery time will depend upon the extent of your procedure, and full results may not be visible for up to three months.
