In 2018 alone, there were 258,558 liposuction procedures performed. It's a popular treatment because it targets stubborn fat that won't go away with diet and exercise. Fortunately, you may even have in-office liposuction performed in Fairfax, VA, or Chevy Chase, MD, at Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates from either Dr. Shabnam Shahabadi or Dr. Reza Mirali.
No Overnight Stay
In some cases, when you have liposuction performed in a hospital, you're asked to stay overnight for further monitoring. With in-office liposuction, you have the procedure done and return home after it's complete.
No Hassle From Going to a Hospital
When you visit a hospital, it's often crowded since people are there for a plethora of reasons. You have the hassle of finding where you need to go. With an in-office procedure in Fairfax, VA, you avoid the crowds and chaos.
Only Given a Local
As a general rule, lipo performed under a local tends to be safer. The true risk of liposuction is the general anesthesia given. With an in-office procedure, the practitioner only administers a local to numb the area where you're having the procedure. Therefore, you're not at risk of the side effects of a general and will be awake for the process.
Potentially Shorter Recovery
Typically, you have a shorter recovery time when you receive lipo under a local anesthetic only. Therefore, you'll be able to get to doing what you love and living life as normal quicker.
Less Expensive
The expense of liposuction mainly occurs due to the cost of anesthesia, the operating room, and the anesthesiologist. Therefore, you pay less when you have an in-office procedure.
More Personalized Experience
You may feel more comfortable in a practice than at the hospital. While everything is as sterile as a hospital, the office is less clinical and less overwhelming for some patients.
Liposuction can improve your confidence by removing fat in areas where standard weight loss techniques don't reach. However, you can further benefit from this liposuction if you have in-office liposuction. Plus, the staff, including Dr. Shahabadi and Dr. Mirali of Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates in Fairfax, VA, or Chevy Chase, MD, will optimize your experience in every way possible.
