Over the years, Dr. Lee Corbett has become renowned as a leading Louisville liposuction specialist. He applies his extensive experience and training to each liposuction procedure, consistently delivering remarkable body contouring results. In the paragraphs below, Dr. Corbett describes liposuction surgery and the results liposuction Louisville patients can achieve through this procedure.
Liposuction in Louisville: Is It for Me?
Both traditional Liposuction and Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL) are available to remove difficult, ‘exercise resistant’ areas of excess fat (e.g. the lower abdomen, “love handles”, “saddle bags”,hips, thighs upper arms and under the chin). Multiple areas can be treated in one setting and Liposuction can be combined with other techniques as well.
Goals of Surgery
The goal of Liposuction Surgery is to improve body contour, symmetry, and appearance. Liposuction is not intended to be a method of weight loss nor is it effective for the obese patient.
Where Does the Surgery Take Place?
Dr. Corbett performs his liposuction procedures in the hospital.
Incisions
Liposuction incisions are usually located along natural skin creases and as such are usually well camoflauged. The incisions are very small, typically 3 to 5 millimeters.
Anesthesia
General Anesthesia or IV sedation is required.
Surgery Time
Liposuction Surgery varies based on the number of areas and extent of treatment required. A time range will be estimated at your consultation.
Hospital Stay
Liposuction can be performed on an outpatient basis or an overnight stay is available to those who prefer this option. In general, most Louisville liposuction patients are fine to go home. Those patients who have many areas treated or have liposuction combined with other procedures may be better off staying overnight to maximize your comfort and well-being.
Recovery
Most patients return to their normal routine within 1 week. Aerobic exercise can be resumed in 2 weeks and unlimited activity in 6. Specifics will be discussed at the time of your consultation.
Follow-Up
After surgery you should plan on at least 2 to 4 follow-up visits. Each case is individualized to address your needs.
Complications
As with any surgical procedure, complications can occur and are best discussed at the time of your consultation. It is essential that patients be aware of potential complications before undergoing this or any surgical procedure.
Fees
Costs range from $3,300.00 to $5,800.00. The range takes into account the number of areas being treated and the additional time required for multiple areas. This pricing includes Hospital Costs, Anesthesia Fees, and Surgeon's Fee. Exact fees will be given at the time of your initial visit. There is no charge for the consultation.
