If you're thinking about getting liposuction at SSK Plastic Surgery, you're probably excited to see the changes in your body. Dr. Sean Kelishadi is known for helping patients achieve the look they want. However, getting liposuction is a big decision, and it’s important to know that seeing the end results takes time. Schedule a consultation at our Newport Beach, CA, office to learn more about liposuction and see if it’s right for you.

What happens right after liposuction?

Following liposuction, it's crucial to allow your body time to recover. Swelling and bruising are the body's natural response to the procedure and can initially hide the changes you're excited to see. Dr. Kelishadi provides exceptional post-operative care and guidance, ensuring that each patient understands the importance of the healing phase. Your body is working to adapt to its new shape, and your compliance with the recommended care plan is key to achieving the best lipo results possible.

When does the swelling start to subside?

As the swelling begins to diminish, usually a few weeks into the post-operative phase, glimpses of your new figure will start to appear. This is an exciting time as you start to see the fruits of your decision slowly come to life. However, full liposuction results may take up to several months to materialize as your body meticulously finalizes its new contours. Dr. Kelishadi monitors this progression closely, ensuring that concerns are addressed promptly for a smooth and satisfying transformation. The gradual unveiling of your body's changes can be a period of rejuvenation, encouraging patience and self-care as you transition to optimal results.

Are there ways to support healing?

To facilitate the best possible healing after your liposuction, Dr. Kelishadi offers comprehensive advice and support. Some common suggestions include:

  • Adhere strictly to the post-operative instructions provided by our Newport Beach team
  • Ensure proper nutrition and hydration to promote healing from within
  • Avoid nicotine and alcohol, as these can hinder the healing process

It's also critical to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments at SSK Plastic Surgery to track your healing progress. Dr. Kelishadi's post-op care is designed to not only support your physical healing but also to provide reassurance and emotional support as your body transitions. The entire team is dedicated to making your recovery as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

What about long-term care and maintenance?

While liposuction results can be long-lasting, they are best maintained with a healthy lifestyle and consistent care. Many patients often ask, “Does liposuction last forever?” While removed fat cells do not come back, it’s important to remember that the remaining cells can enlarge if your lifestyle does not support your new body shape. The keys to longevity include:

  • Maintaining a stable weight
  • Engaging in regular physical activity
  • Eating a well-balanced diet
  • An ongoing dialogue about lifestyle and body maintenance

Additionally, remember the team at SSK Plastic Surgery is always available to provide tips and strategies for sustaining your new look.

Dr. Kelishadi is amazing!!! He made me feel so comfortable! I had Breast Augmentation  May 26th. I'm three months out and loving my results! I was very self conscious  about my chest. My breasts shrunk due to breast feeding. I didn't even want to change in front of my husband.  (he loved them no matter what lol) and now I am feeling so great about it! He said he's even noticed a boost in my confidence level. I love it! i feel good..i feel sexy. I never thought I  would actually go through with getting this done, but Dr. Kelishadi and his staff helped me with every step of the way. He was very caring and checked up on me after surgery. His staff was very nice as well. All so helpful! I highly recommend him!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have met the SSK team.  I initially started with the med spa team at SSK and knew that I needed to do a breast augmentation consultation there as well.  From beginning to end, every single doctor/nurse and even Valerie at the front desk, involved in my procedures reached out giving clear instructions and also daily check-ins after my breast aug surgery.   Their patient care is beyond incredible.  The team gives you all of the instructions pre and post op, and they even go as far as giving you a sweet post op bag including the cutest, softest, coziest jump suit to wear into and out of the hospital on surgery day.  I am so so pleased with the team’s attention to detail, but more importantly, they are an exceptional care team you want and need!  Thank you SSK!  -Steph

I recently had a breast revision/augmentation with a lift by Dr Kelishadi and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! He is known as the King of Cleavage and definitely lives up to the name. His staff is friendly, professional, and prompt to answer calls and respond to emails. It was also super nice and convenient having Dr Sherry as part of the team helping with all the medications ordered. On my pre op visit, I was given a bag with all the medications I would need for my surgery and recovery. Dr Sherry would text and make sure I didn’t have any questions which was so appreciated. After my surgery, Dr Kelishadi would call and check in to make sure I was doing well. If I had a questions or concerns, Dr Kelishadi would promptly call and answer all the questions I had. He is genuinely a great person and an amazing Surgeon that I would highly recommend.

I recently underwent a transformative experience at SSK Plastic Surgery, having a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and liposuction in the flanks and back. Being a mom to a 10 month old, I was pretty anxious about this procedure but right from my initial consultation, I was confident that I was in the hands of professionals who truly care. Now, just 3 days post-op, I caught a glimpse of my results and I’m beyond thrilled! Dr. Kalishadi’s skillful work has exceeded my expectations.On the day of the surgery, the entire team’s kindness helped alleviate any pre-surgery jitters. Dr. Kalishadi went above and beyond by personally reaching out to check on my recovery. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding results and genuine care. Also shout out to Dr. Sherry, Valerie and Brianna who were also lovely! Thank you all so much!

I recently underwent a breast revision procedure at SSK Plastic Surgery, and I must say that my experience far exceeded my expectations.  From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results.  Here’s why I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelishadi for anyone considering breast revision: Dr. Kelishadi is an exceptional plastic surgeon.  From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Kelishadi displayed remarkable expertise and a genuine care for my well-being.  He took the time to listen to and provided me with detailed explanations of the procedure.  The entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery was welcoming, friendly and professional.  They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and their knowledge and expertise to my needs were remarkable.  One aspect that truly impressed me was the personalized approach they took throughout the entire journey.  I even worked with Dr. Sherrie for my hormones prior to surgery and needless to say I feel much better now.  I felt that she too was invested in my overall health.  Lastly, when it came to deciding the appropriate size for my revision, I had to place my trust in Dr. Kelishadi’s expertise and technique.  I discussed my desired goals with him, and he carefully assessed my body proportions, existing breast tissue and overall aesthetic balance.  Although I had initial apprehension about relinquishing control over to the size decision, I am thrilled to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  The size chosen by Dr. Kelishadi was absolutely perfect!  I would highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!
