Liposuction in OKC

Women and men frustrated by bulges and pockets of fat that persist despite diet and exercise choose board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Oscar Masters for the consistently excellent results he creates with liposuction. A body-contouring specialist, Dr. Masters performs liposuction at his Oklahoma City practice using an advanced technique called SAFELipo®. This innovative process requires special training and creates smoother contours and better definition with a lower risk of contour deformities than other liposuction techniques.

What Is SAFELipo?

If you’ve been researching liposuction, you’re probably aware that multiple techniques exist. Even though the most important factor for excellent results is the skill of the surgeon performing the procedure, some techniques have specific advantages.

The SAFELipo procedure involves a 3-step process:

SAFELipo avoids the heat generated by laser or ultrasound liposuction techniques, which can inadvertently burn blood vessels and surrounding tissue and cause unwanted complications.

Who Can Benefit From Liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures performed in the U.S., in part because it’s a procedure that can benefit a range of patients. Men and women who can get the best results from liposuction are:

• People in good overall health without underlying medical conditions that can affect healing
• At or near the weight they want to maintain
• Individuals with firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
• Non-smokers

Equally important is that patients have a positive attitude and realistic goals for their procedures. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not weight loss surgery. If you’ve lost significant weight and have loose skin, you would be a good candidate for post weight loss plastic surgery that removes excess skin.

What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?

Another reason for liposuction’s popularity is its versatility when it comes to treatment areas. It can be performed on virtually any area of the body, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, breasts, upper back, arms, face, and neck. In addition, liposuction is an essential element of a Brazilian butt lift procedure, which involves transferring fat removed using liposuction to the buttocks.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost in OKC?

The cost of liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure, the treatment area or areas, and other factors. We’ll provide you with a personalized quote at your consultation. It’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who has the training and expertise necessary to produce excellent results.

Commonly Combined Procedures

Dr. Masters uses liposuction to complement the results of other plastic surgery procedures, which include:

• Tummy tuck
• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Facelift

Many women choose a combination of liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast enhancement surgery, called a mommy makeover, to address the changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding with a single surgery and recovery period.

Recovery

After liposuction surgery, treated areas are placed in compression wraps to minimize swelling and encourage smooth contours as you heal. While experiences vary between patients and areas treated, recovery generally proceeds along the following timeline:

Days 3 to 5:

• Return to non-strenuous work and exercise
• Discomfort fades

Weeks 2 to 3:

• Resume strenuous activities
• Bruising and swelling fade

Weeks 4 to 6:

• Discontinue compression wraps (as directed)

3 to 6 months:

• Achieve final results
