Baby Liposuction
Liposuction (lipoplasty) is a popular cosmetic body contouring procedure. The liposuction process involves suctioning out small amounts of unsightly fat tissue from the hips, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen in order to sculpt a more desirable body shape. Liposuction is not traditionally meant for weight loss, but is performed to improve a patient's overall appearance.
Pre-Op Examination
Our trained staff gives your child a full examination prior to the start of the procedure.
Comfort is our Priority
Your baby is sedated intravenously prior to the start of treatment. This helps ensure that your child's procedure is a pleasant one.
The procedure itself may cause some numbness that may last for sixteen hours or more after surgery. Any discomfort can generally be treated with baby aspirin.
The Procedure
Klein tumescent numbing solution is applied and the doctor will then make tiny skin entrance incisions with a scalpel to allow for the thin suction tubes (cannulae) to be inserted and suck out the unwanted lumps and bulges of unwanted baby fat. The actual suction takes about ten minutes.
Swelling is Normal
Some bruising and swelling may be apparent following liposuction. This swelling and lumpiness may not completely disappear for several months. This is entirely normal and parents should not be alarmed. During this recovery time, parents should remind themselves of the positive benefits that the liposuction is going to provide.
Results
Most parents are very pleased with the results of baby liposuction. Dr. Jeffery is careful not to remove too much fat from a single location to reduce the chance of a "swiss cheese" appearance to the areas treated. Follow up procedures may be needed depending on the patient.
Cost
The cost of liposuction can vary, but a general guideline is to assume that the more fat suctioned the more it will cost. Factors affecting cost are the volume of fat suctioned, the specific area suctioned, how many areas are suctioned, and how much time is spent suctioning the fatty tissue.
Fat Injections
Dr. Jeffery is currently experimenting with re-injecting the suctioned baby fat into other areas of the body to give parents their desired results. A J-Lo booty for your baby is now becoming a reality. A discount is available for parents wishing to have their child participate in a clinical trial.
