When you choose lipo in Knoxville at SPRSI, your procedure will be performed at our state-of-the-art facility that prioritizes proven methods for reliable outcomes. Dr. Brought primarily uses the tumescent technique — the gold standard for effectiveness and safety.
This advanced technique involves infusing a dilute saline solution with epinephrine and lidocaine or bupivicaine into the fat. This gently firms the tissue, allowing for smoother, more precise fat removal. One of the most significant benefits of this approach is that it can minimize blood loss and post-operative discomfort. The local anesthetic is so effective that general anesthesia is sometimes unnecessary, supporting a more comfortable recovery.
Is Liposuction Right for You?
Liposuction might be right for you if you're in good health and have realistic expectations. The ideal candidate should also:
- Be at or near their goal weight.
- Have good skin elasticity.
- Want to remove pockets of unwanted fat.
While there is no ideal age, reduced skin elasticity can affect candidacy. Those who are experiencing age-related laxity may benefit from additional skin-tightening procedures. Dr. Brought will recommend the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Your Body Contouring Journey at SPRSI
Here's what to expect at each stage of your lipo journey with Dr. Brought and his team at SPRSI:
1. The Consultation
First, you'll have a one-on-one discussion with Dr. Brought about creating your custom surgical plan. He'll assess your:
- Overall health.
- Skin elasticity.
- Treatment areas.
He'll also go over suitability and cost. If you're comfortable proceeding with the surgery, you'll schedule a date and receive guidance on preparation.
2. The Procedure
Dr. Brought will prioritize safety, comfort, and your aesthetic goals. He'll begin the procedure by injecting the tumescent solution before making tiny incisions and removing the fat via a cannula. Once the fat cells have been removed, he'll close these incisions with absorbable sutures and apply compression dressings.
3. The Recovery
After surgery, our team guides your recovery with aftercare instructions that cover everything from incision care to gentle massages. We provide tools and knowledge to help you return to your regular activities as soon as possible. Though timelines vary, patients enjoy full results within three to four months.
