Liposuction in Fort Myers

Laser liposuction provides surgeons with enhanced fat removal techniques that outperform the results of traditional lipo. Using laser-assisted equipment, the surgeons at Sono Bello in Fort Myers can more easily extract fat, resulting in less postoperative discomfort and swelling. The laser used in TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction additionally helps to promote better skin contraction.  

At Sono Bello, we also use localized anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, which is used for most traditional liposuction procedures. The use of localized anesthesia keeps patients awake and comfortable during the procedure and minimizes risk and recovery time.  

Yes, we are proud to offer lipo 360 in Fort Myers. As the name implies, Lipo 360 applies an “all-around” approach to the typical liposuction procedure. Instead of focusing on just one body area, lipo 360 focuses on the entire midsection of a patient in one procedure, often including the abdomen, waist, hips, and back. Your patient care consultant will help you determine if lipo 360 is right for you during your free consultation.

Different procedures have different timeframes. At Sono Bello in Fort Myers, the average liposuction takes around 2.5-3.5 hours. Patients should arrive approximately 1.5 hours before surgery to prepare and should stay after surgery for at least 15 minutes for immediate recovery.

Recovery time varies by procedure, but most patients at Sono Bello Fort Myers can return to normal activities within a few days. Your surgeon will provide specific post-op care instructions, and many patients wear a compression garment for 3-6 weeks to support healing.

The results from laser liposuction are considered permanent because the fat cells that are removed do not grow back. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet is crucial to preserving these results long-term. While the fat cells that are removed won’t return, weight gain can affect other areas of your body.
