Liposuction in Tampa Bay

Liposuction is a procedure that reshapes and contours the body by removing stubborn, often exercise-resistant fat deposits. There are many different types of Tampa Bay Liposuction procedures. Dr. Harrell will determine which procedure is best for you during your consultation. These procedures can be performed on many different parts of the body including neck, abdomen, thighs, hips, and more. Liposuction can also be performed as part of other procedures, such as tummy tuck and mommy makeover.

Liposuction Recovery

Many factors can contribute to your recovery experience. A patient can typically expect several days of discomfort followed by a few weeks of restricted physical activity during the post-operative period. Pain medication is prescribed to you prior to surgery to minimize your discomfort. Many of our patients return to work within a few days but strenuous physical activity should be avoided for a few weeks. If you have any concerns about the recovery period, you should discuss it with Dr. Harrell.
