What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure wherein the unwanted fat tissues are suctioned out of your body via small tubes. Accents Plastic Surgery provides the upgraded VASER liposuction to extract the unwanted fat tissues with greater efficiency. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to break the fat cells, loosen them from your body, and extract them smoothly. It’s a controlled and gentle procedure that removes the unwanted fat cells without extended recovery periods or harsh side effects.

VASER liposuction is similar to traditional liposuction—both involve suctioning away excess fat tissues from targeted areas. However, liposuction mechanically dislodges the fat tissues to vacuum them out of the body, while VASER liposuction uses ultrasound techniques. As such, VASER liposuction provides safer and more consistent results. Some say that VASER liposuction is also faster and less painful than traditional liposuction. Accents Plastic Surgery only provides the latest cutting-edge treatments for optimal results and recovery.

Reasons for Liposuction

Liposuction is suitable for patients who have trouble eliminating stubborn pockets of fat, despite their best attempts through natural methods, like workouts and dieting. Sometimes, traditional methods fail to reduce stubborn pockets of fat because you can’t spot-reduce with general weight loss methods. Liposuction, however, is a body contouring procedure that removes targeted pockets of fat. This procedure is only suitable for patients who are within 15 pounds of their ideal weight. It removes unwanted pockets of fat without addressing your overall body weight.

Both Dr. Berkowitz and Maria were terrific and I really enjoyed discussing an FUE procedure with them. They were open and honest about my level of hair loss, and were realistic and clear about what was possible to achieve. They weren't pushy and left the decision entirely within my hands on whether to proceed. I ultimately didn't go through with the procedure as I felt that what was achievable wasn't worth the cost. I would very much recommend their office and staff to anyone interested in FUE.

Kalye is the best!!! I was scheduled with her to do some injections into my scalp for hair loss and she couldn’t have been more kind, informative and really made me feel taken care of as a patient and a client. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and understood the process - she even inconvenienced her own schedule in order to accommodate mine and ensure I received the best results. I have so much more confidence for the journey ahead, knowing I am in such great hands with Kalye.

I loved this clinic! Maria helped me schedule everything and answered each and every question I had like the pro that she is. Megan and Monica were the technicians working on me.

Dr. Berkowitz and his team have proven to be an excellent cosmetic practice! I had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty procedure in October 2020. Dr Berkowitz took the time to let me know what to expect in every detail. The procedure went smoothly, and I healed rather quickly without any complications. After recovery, the results have been exactly what I was hoping they would be. For anyone considering this surgery, I would highly recommend it. Addressing the aging around the eyes takes years off the overall appearance! You can surely trust that the entire team at Accents Cosmetic Surgery will take amazing care of you through every step of the way.

From making the appointment to actually meeting Dr. Alford, everything was smooth and amazing! I’m surprised I’m the first to even leave a review about how wonderful he is. He listened, modeled patience and made me feel comfortable. He did a breast augmentation on me and when I say I was nervous, that’s an understatement, but he assured me I’d be just fine, and I was. His work is phenomenal and I’d recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much Dr. Alford. I will be sure to update this review according to my healing and future results!!!

Dr. Berkowitz was a pleasure to work with. I've been struggling with hair loss for the longest time, and thought there was no hope. I feel he was very understanding, up front, explained things well.

I've been seeing Dr. Berkowitz for hair loss treatment, and I've been noticing a significant change since I've been under his care. I've always been very insecure when it would come to my looks, wearing hats, avoiding public situations, and so on. He's been very helpful since I started seeing him. I've already referred him to a close friend.

Your Liposuction Consultation in Michigan

Your VASER liposuction in Michigan starts with a private consultation with the exceptional cosmetic surgeons at Accents Cosmetic Surgery. We carefully review your medical history, discuss your goals, and examine the treatment areas to determine if you’re a suitable candidate and, if so, curate the ideal treatment plan. We discuss every step of the liposuction treatment so you know what to expect. We also provide some preparatory guidelines—you might be asked to stop taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, like ibuprofen, a few weeks before the procedure.

The Liposuction Surgery in Detroit

The VASER liposuction procedure is performed at our state-of-the-art and accredited surgical center. The surgeon will use local anesthesia with conscious sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and tolerance. They’ll inject an anesthetic solution mixed with a tumescent fluid to minimize the risk of bleeding. The surgeon will carefully insert ultrasound probes into the skin via a small incision to heat the unwanted fat tissues. The liquefied fat tissues will be vacuumed out of your body via a small tube-like device called a cannula. Once sufficient fat tissues are removed, the incision will be closed.

Recovering From Liposuction

You might experience bruising, swelling, and redness around the treatment areas after the VASER liposuction procedure. While liposuction provides instant results, you’ll truly appreciate the results once the side effects fade away in 24 to 48 hours. You’ll have to wear compression garments on the treatment areas for several weeks to aid the recovery process. The final results will become evident in 3 to 6 months as your body recovers completely and settles in place.

Most patients can resume work and daily activities in a few days, but everyone has a unique recovery journey. Liposuction provides permanent results, but you must maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid weight gain in other parts of the body.
