liposuction toronto lipoplasty

When performed by board certified plastic surgeons with experience in liposuction, the Toronto liposuction procedure is not dangerous when the amounts of fat removal are limited. It is safe and thousands of procedures are performed every year without issue.

The liposuction cost depends on the extent of the area and correction. In Toronto Canada, the average liposuction costs range from $3,500 and upward. Combining liposuction with other surgical procedures may also reduce the total fees and overall price.

It would be $4500 and up, depending on how large the target area for body liposuction is.

Generally speaking, liposuction isn’t covered by OHIP by our practice. This is because it is considered an aesthetic procedure. However, there are some cases for which liposuction may be medically recommended. Please speak with your doctor to find out if this would apply to you.

In order to have liposuction performed on you, you’ll need to be mature enough to understand what it can achieve and the risks involved so you can give informed consent. You’ll also need to be generally healthy. If you are a minor, you may need to get consent from a parent or guardian. A discussion of the guidelines regarding a suitable candidate will be provided by our staff.

Yes, Toronto liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted fat located below the skin, above the internal organs (known as subcutaneous fat). Sometimes, this excess fat is more resistant to diet and exercise, even if you are at your ideal body weight. Visceral fat cannot be removed with liposuction procedures.

This is a question that many patients interested in the liposuction procedure ask. It would be great if we could give you a specific number, but unfortunately we can’t. The amount of fat that can be safely removed during body liposuction depends entirely on the individual patient and the amount of fullness in the target area. We can remove as much as can safely be done. If too much fat is removed from one area, the blood supply to the skin can be affected leading to a loss of skin or contour irregularities. If too much is removed from multiple areas, too much blood will be lost, the heart will have to work harder, the patient will be anemic, lightheaded, and go into shock. On the other hand, if too little fat is removed then there will be insufficient improvement. Florida is the only jurisdiction where there is a “rule” to remove a maximum 5 litres of fat. It is not clear whether this is pure fat or fat aspirate (fat mixed with blood). Many people use this 5 litres “rule” as a maximum amount of fat removal, but it really depends on the size of the patient. Removing 5 litres from someone weighing 100lbs will put them into shock, but removing 5 litres from someone weighing 200 lbs may be very safe during the liposuction procedure. So, the short answer is “it depends.” Only qualified plastic surgeons can determine this when assessing a patient. Results may vary. The ultimate goal of your liposuction surgery session is to achieve a noticeable difference in your physique.

During liposuction, the tissues in the target area are flooded with a liquid solution made up of saline, lidocaine and epinephrine. This makes the vessels in the area constrict with precision to reduce blood loss. A cannula (a suction tube) is then used to suck out the solution and desired amount of fat. The incision is then dressed. Typically, sutures aren’t necessary to close the incision as they measure just milimetres.

The entire surgical procedure generally takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, as it depends on the areas targeted as well as how much fat is removed. A discussion of your surgery details will be done beforehand so you'll know what to expect.

Areas that are our patients commonly target include the stomach, flanks, as well as the inner and outer thighs. It is common for men to target their chest, for the treatment of male breast reduction or gynecomastia.

In the days after surgery, you’ll experience some temporary swelling or fluid retention along with some bruising. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for about 3-4 weeks to reduce swelling, after which the majority of it disappears. Local anesthetic is used to control discomfort immediately after surgery. Discomfort can becontrolled after that with pain medication.

This cosmetic surgery procedure doesn’t involve as much scarring as other body shaping procedures. Liposuction generally involves the placement of small incisions that measure just a few millimetres. The small incisions are also placed in less obscure areas where there are natural creases in the skin, making them less prominent. For this reason, most patients find that their scars are barely noticeable.

Liposuction plastic surgery permanently removes fat cells, and these fat cells will never come back. However, the remaining fat cells can expand and shrink with weight gain. For example, if you undergo liposuction of the lower abdomen, subsequent weight gain can increase the circumference of the area as the remaining fatty tissue will expand. However, you’ll always be leaner in the treated area than if you hadn’t had liposuction done. Weight gain isn’t distributed in the same way as before surgery, so you may find that other areas get noticeably bigger. For this reason, it’s a good idea to follow a healthy diet and get regular exercise after your plastic surgery as it will maintain your results for a longer time. The procedure is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

The results last as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should follow a well balanced diet and exercise regimen. Aging, pregnancy and certain medical conditions may affect results, however patients are generally satisfied with a single procedure. Results may vary.

It is extremely rare that any complications experienced from Toronto liposuction surgery to remove fat would be fatal. An assessment, including a review of your medical history and current conditions, is crucial to determine whether this is safe for you. Some conditions, such as poor blood circulation, infection and diabetes may increase surgical risks. Make sure to select a liposuction expert, like Dr. Kesarwani, to ensure that your surgery is performed by a reputable board certified plastic surgeon.

Some people do find it easier to lose weight after their liposuction procedure because they’re more motivated to maintain and improve on their results. Therefore most liposuction patients end up following a healthy diet and exercise routine more closely. However, liposuction is not for weight loss. It’s important to remember that liposuction is not an effective weight loss tool and can only be done on people who are within the range of their ideal weight. This plastic surgery procedure is only for subcutaneous fat removal to improve aesthetic body contouring.

With proper recovery, you can return to full physical activity without issue. A healthy exercise regimen and proper diet are recommended for your overall health.

You won’t feel anything during the liposuction procedure. There may be some discomfort following this cosmetic surgery, however, but this can be controlled with prescribed pain medication.

Cellulite may be unseemly, yet it is not dangerous. It can happen to people of all sizes and occurs in 80-90% of women. Cellulite is a skin condition caused by fat deposits pushing through the connective tissue that lies beneath our skin. Both sexes can get cellulite but it is more common in women because fat, muscle, and connective tissue are distributed differently throughout female bodies. Cellulite makes the skin appear dimpled and lumpy and usually affect the thighs and buttocks, but it can make an appearance in other areas as well. Although it is natural, many women wish to get rid of it completely and often think liposuction is the answer. Please note that liposuction is not an effective treatment for cellulite. It may remove some cellulite if it lies in the area being treated, but it cannot successfully remove all of it and shouldn’t be considered as a solution. Skin tightening surgical procedures, like a thigh lift, may be more effective.

Lipedema is a condition that causes an abnormal amount of fat to accumulate in the body, most often in the legs (such as in the outer thighs). These localized fat deposits are more than usual, and mainly affects women. Diet and exercise are ineffective at treating lipedema, however numerous studies have shown that the condition can be improved with liposuction. A 2019 study found that women with lipedema who were treated with liposuction to remove fat experienced a decrease in the pain, bruising, swelling and frequency of migraines associated with their condition. Our board certified plastic surgeon can discuss this issue with you more during your plastic surgery consultation. You'll also be able to see more before and after photos of our patients.

Liposuction is commonly performed at the same time as other body contouring procedures. For example, liposuction is frequently performed with tummy tucks to enhance results, since it can help remove fat from harder to reach places and achieve a smoother, more contoured improvement. Liposuction can also be done as part of a thigh lift or arm lift. For these, excess fat is removed after which skin tightening is performed with excision. Another procedure that utilizes liposuction is male breast reduction, for the treatment of gynecomastia.

If you want to avoid the surgical experience, non surgical procedures like SculpSure may be suitable for you. This treatment melts away unwanted fat with laser energy, while leaving other tissues in the area unharmed. There are no incisions or downtime.
