Liposuction is an increasingly popular procedure that safely breaks up and removes fat from the body. It is not a weight-loss procedure, and the results are purely cosmetic. There are many benefits to liposuction.
Small incisions are made in the area that is treated and fluid is then injected into the body to break up fat cells. A small tube is then inserted, and suction is applied to remove the fat. Patients are usually back on their feet quickly if they follow post-operative instructions (usually within 2 days).
Unwanted fat can affect a person’s appearance and self-confidence. Liposuction can help remove stubborn fat to give you a more aesthetically pleasing physique.
Maintaining a healthy body mass index is important to overall health and liposuction can help achieve that. Overall improved health occurs when a patient reaches an ideal weight. Liposuction can remove quite a bit of fat from each area treated (up to 4 lbs. per area) which helps overall BMI.

If you have already completed your consultation and it’s been determined that you are a good candidate for a facelift, now it’s time to prepare! Before the big day you should do the following things.
Nicotine restricts blood flow and can cause complications during and after your procedure. Stop using any type of nicotine before your procedure for safety.
Stop taking any anti-inflammatory over-the-counter medications or aspirin to decrease the chance of excessive bleeding.
Make plans for getting to and from the hospital. Make sure a responsible friend or family member is available to pick you up and ensure you get home safely to rest.
Fill any recommended prescriptions and pick them up from the pharmacy in the days leading up to your procedure. You’ll want to make sure you have them ready and nearby the place you’ll be resting.
Have proper clothing on and ready to wear when you’re home. You’ll want something that is easy to remove so you aren’t pulling anything tightly over your head. A zip or button-up top is best for post-surgery.
Breast reduction is an increasingly popular procedure. Disproportionately large breasts can cause both physical and emotional distress for patients, and many opt for breast reduction to achieve an appropriate breast size.
If you have scheduled a consultation here are ten questions to ask at your appointment:
If you’re considering Botox for the first time you’ve probably done some research and read many myths about the neurotoxin. We’ve listed five of the most common myths we’ve heard at our office and explained why they aren’t true.
Botox is considered a temporary fix for facial lines and wrinkles. Typically, the results will last anywhere from two to four months depending on the area treated.
A lot of patients expect to walk out of an appointment looking different right away. Botox typically takes up to two weeks for the full result and sometimes a touch-up can be required to obtain optimal results.
Besides helping with the appearance of wrinkles, Botox can also be used to lift the eyebrows, soften the jawline, give the appearance of a fuller upper lip and more. A consultation is the best way to learn all the areas Botox could treat for you!
When injected correctly, Botox does not make the patient appear frozen. The proper amount of Botox for you will be decided at your consultation and the goal will be to make you appear rejuvenated rather than stiff or frozen in the face.
Both men and women benefit from Botox treatments. Many men nowadays opt for Botox to treat facial lines and wrinkles that will soften their face and make them look younger.
If you’re considering breast augmentation you probably have a lot of questions. It’s important to ask the doctor everything you want to know at your consultation. A great way to prepare for your appointment is to write down all your questions. Here are five common questions that patients have when considering breast augmentation.
Dr. Ali will work with you to choose the perfect shape, size, and type of breast implant for your body. Silicone implants are made fully of silicone, a synthetic material that feels like human fat. They are filled with a silicone gel. Saline implants have an outer shell made of silicone and are filled with saline.
Both silicone and saline breast implants are FDA-approved devices that offer many benefits for patients. Hundreds of thousands of patients undergo breast implant procedures worldwide each year. FDA-approved breast implants undergo extensive testing to demonstrate reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
Breast implants do not last forever. Many women will choose to have their implants removed and replaced, usually anywhere from 10 to 20 years after their initial surgery.
Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure and will last anywhere 1 to 2 hours. The procedure is performed with the patient under general anesthesia.
Recovery from breast augmentation on average will last two to four weeks. It is important to follow all post-procedure guidelines given to you in order to heal properly and achieve the best result. Physical restrictions are for 6 weeks following surgery.
