Liposuction for the Arms: What to Expect

Dollarphotoclub_65827046_0

Terrell Clinic offers a number of ways in which we can help sculpt, slim, and provide more definition to the arms. One of the more successful treatments is liposuction. For anyone who has not experienced lipo, the thought can be daunting. There are hundreds of techniques and countless promises for results out there. But with an experienced provider and good research, this is a cosmetic correction that can help provide a lasting look and feel to love.

DON’T BECOME OVERWHELMED BY THE OPTIONS

Dr. Terrell uses three primary techniques for liposuction: VASER Liposuction, VASERsmooth, and SmartLipo. As a patient, all you have to do is schedule a consultation, and Dr. Terrell will do the rest. She works closely with patients to determine which combination of the the three technologies will help you achieve the look and feel you desire. She expertly and precisely uses each technology, often in innovative ways, to sculpt and diminish excess fat in each part of the body that she works on.

Importantly, all liposuction technologies have been thoroughly vetted by Dr. Terrell based on their ability to provide results, minimize scarring, and provide faster recovery. Terrell Clinic schedules just one liposuction procedure per day in order to achieve the most optimal results for the patient. This allows us the time and resources required to provide the best treatment. Unfortunately, this is not always common practice in the field.

HOW SOON WILL I RECOVER FROM LIPOSUCTION OF THE ARMS?

Once the procedure is complete, you are sent home with an abundance of resources and education for aftercare (not to mention our full support as you heal). You’ll also wear a surgical garment, with pads inserted to cover your incisions, for three days post procedure.

Because of the innovative technology behind VASER and SmartLipo tools, incisions are small and close on their own over the course of 3 to 10 days. During this time, we suggest having maxi pads on hand as you’ll be changing them out regularly to keep the area clean.

After the first 72 hours, you’ll be able to take your garment off to shower. We will provide you with an additional garment to put on while the other one is being washed. That way, you’ll have a spare to use in those first weeks of wearing the garment continuously.

Everyone is different, but for the most part, you’re going to be sore at least the first two weeks. Patients generally return to work after three days. Of course, this is when you can take a shower, so this certainly helps prepare you to face the day! After about two weeks, you can likely head back to the gym, but again, everyone is different. We ask that you consult with Dr. Terrell about your personal recovery timeline.

Ultimately, Dr. Terrell advises that you keep the surgical-grade compression garment on at all times for those first two months. This really is crucial for proper healing and the best long-term results.

A patient recently commented, “About six to eight weeks after the procedure, I really started to notice a difference. At first, I thought the swelling was completely gone and that I looked awesome, but it was truly just the beginning! It just continues to get smaller and tighter-looking. I love it!”

Some quick tips for an easy recovery:

  • Take sponge baths during the first couple of days post surgery.
  • Prepare the maxi pad strips in advance so that you have plenty on hand during your recovery.
  • Switch from prescribed pain medication to over-the-counter Tylenol after the first or second day post surgery, if possible.
  • Get your hair done in advance of the surgery so you don’t have to worry about it during the first three days of healing.

Where will liposuction work best for me?

Dollarphotoclub_71926623_0_0_0

Liposuction, when performed by a skilled surgeon, is an excellent option for patients who wish to slim down and firm up the appearance of a number of specific body areas. We have come a long way from our traditional methods of liposuction, and the advances have significantly benefited patients in terms of reaching harder to access areas of the body (not to mention healing time). Terrell Clinic works with VASER Liposuction and SmartLipo technologies based on their unique abilities to thoroughly and effectively treat areas that have traditionally posed a challenge. In addition, both allow the surgeon to take a more gentle, precise approach to fat elimination.

Liposuction can be performed on any of the following areas of the body:

  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Calves
  • Ankles
  • Arms
  • Back
  • Neck
  • Chin
  • Buttocks
  • Saddlebags
  • Upper abdomen
  • Love handles or muffin top
  • Breasts (including male breasts)

It is important to note that liposuction cannot replace a diet and serve as a long-term weight-loss tool. Rather, the procedure serves as a wonderful opportunity to fine tune and contour specific areas of the body and complement the results of a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Ultimately, when you come to Terrell Clinic for a consultation, you may have a good idea as to which areas of the body you would like treated with liposuction. Dr. Terrell will work closely with you to help you determine how many areas can be treated at once and how to select areas based on your unique proportions and expectations. Everyone has a different body shape and size so your consultation, procedure, and results will be different from that of your friend.

The most important considerations you can make with Dr. Terrell are whether the procedure is the right type of treatment for you, where on your body liposuction can benefit you most, and how comfortable you are with the process of surgery.

To schedule a consultation, contact Terrell Clinic at 405-302-0060 or info@terrellclinic.com.

Medically Monitored Weight Loss: The Support and Tools You Need for Personal Success

While weight loss is continually a topic of discussion in the headlines and prevalent in everyday conversations, it is an extremely personal issue. There are countless diets on the market making promises that generally lead to rebound weight and disappointment. In most situations, a directed, tailored program is a far better alternative to “shelf-bought” diet plans because there is no single diet that can work for every body.

As a center for cosmetic surgery, Terrell Clinic focuses on the overall health of the body and recognizes that patients must feel confident on the inside as well as how they appear outward. Our goal is to provide patients with the tools and resources to develop healthy personal lifestyles, along with enhancing their inner and outer beauty. One of the ways in which we support our patients is through medically monitored weight loss plans.

Below, Dr. Terrell discusses some of the successes she has experienced with her clients participating in the highly individualized HCG Medical Weight Loss Plan:

“We meet with patients from all walks of life wanting to look and feel more comfortable in their own skin. We work with men and women who are looking for an option that truly works so that they can have freedom from food, feel energized, and increase their self-esteem. We have organized our unique program into three phases for maximum results, and patients following the HCG Medical Weight Loss program at Terrell Clinic will typically lose 30-40 pounds in the first 40 days of the diet.

Many patients feel overwhelmed or discouraged by the amount of weight that they have to lose, or from feeling as if they have to do it all on their own with ineffective yo-yo dieting. The reason I love HCG is because not only are patients able to lose excess weight quickly, but so many of them find hope in our program. We don’t just help them lose weight, we work with patients to develop the lifestyle changes and tools they need to help them maintain it. We believe that truly caring for a patient means setting them up for long term success in health and happiness, starting with our complimentary consultation and all the way through post-treatment maintenance support!”

Permanent Makeup: Time Saver and Confidence Booster

Dollarphotoclub_62296387_0_0_0

THE MORNING RITUAL: WAKE UP. COFFEE. SHOWER. DRESS. MAKEUP.

What if we told you that you could save 20 to 30 minutes every day AND look put together all day long withPermanent Makeup?

Whether you’ve worn your makeup the same way for 20 years or you like to change it up regularly, Permanent Makeup allows you the opportunity to begin the day with a fresh, natural, and polished face that you can leave as is or enhance, depending on your mood.

TRENDING

Over the last few years, Permanent Makeup has been gaining in popularity. During the first stages of its implementation, the concept was a bit scary for patients. “Permanent” is a long time and tattooing belongs in parlors, right?

However, patients have become more and more interested in the benefits of Permanent Makeup because, when done correctly, it actually provides flexibility and can be tailored to create a very natural or dramatic look depending on your preferences. It’s also useful for other cosmetic concerns, such as diminishing the appearance of scars or skin damage. Far from a “scary” procedure, it is an amazing time (and even money!) saver.

WHO IS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE?

Permanent Makeup can be used to fill in and define brows, line the top and bottom of the eyes and lips, blend lip color, camouflage scars, and even fill in breast areolas that may be damaged due to surgery or injury. It is an absolutely outstanding solution for those who are constantly on the go, physically active, struggle with unsteady hands, and the fashion forward.

NOT ALL COSMETIC TATTOOING TECHNICIANS ARE CREATED EQUAL

No two patients have the same brow shape or lip lines, and our medical aesthetician, Erin, is absolutely the best at what she does. She’s part clinical technician, part artist and she tailors each look to a patient’s overall needs and concerns. Our patients walk out feeling confident and excited that they’ll wake up each day looking as good as they feel!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Liberation! As far as the procedure, it can cause minor discomfort and some swelling. We make sure you are comfortable and feel secure during every step of the process. The application can last a couple of hours, depending on the service, and a follow up to check in on healing and provide touch-ups is usually necessary to make sure your skin is properly supported.

If you’re looking to ease your morning ritual, skip the lunchtime touch-up, or just wake up feeling flawless, consider the benefits of Permanent Makeup!

Schedule your complimentary consultation today by calling 405-302-0060. In April only, save $40 on any Permanent Makeup procedure!
