Liposculpture In Gainesville, FL
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, and for obvious reasons. This surgery is designed to remove unwanted fat from the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and buttocks. However, for patients seeking a more targeted approach to fat removal, liposculpture may be the best choice. Liposculpture skillfully contours and reshapes the body, creating a more desirable silhouette for the patient.

Because liposculpture is an outpatient procedure, patients can return home the same day following their surgery. You will be required to return within a few days for a follow-up appointment with Dr. David Mateo de Acosta to address any questions or concerns. Swelling, discomfort, and minor bruising are to be expected for the first 4-6 weeks.
After surgery, patients are required to leave their compression garment in place for the first 48 hours. Patients are allowed to shower and replace the garment on the second postoperative day. Dr. David Mateo de Acosta recommends early lymphatic massage to enhance recovery and improve final results.
