LIPOSUCTION WITH DR.MALEK
Liposuction is a method of removing fat from stubborn deposits beneath the skin to help reshape and contour your figure. A liposuction procedure may also be used to de-bulk certain areas, such as the abdomen and thighs, which will “jump-start” your ongoing exercise program and help you meet your fitness goals. For those patients wanting smoother lines and more appealing curves, liposuction can be extremely rewarding.
Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour.
All modern-day liposuction techniques use a tumescent technique, which refers to an injection into the fat layer of a combination of sterile saline, numbing medication (lidocaine) and epinephrine that controls bleeding and lessen the toxicity of lidocaine.
Liposuction in Phoenix is commonly used to treat areas including:
While liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a weight loss solution, it is a valuable tool for improving specific trouble areas of the body which have stubborn fatty deposits. Liposuction is ideal for people who are in good, healthy shape and are struggling with a specific area of their body which, for whatever reasons, has been resistant to change through diet and exercise alone.
Liposuction candidates are preferably:
It is also important that the liposuction patients have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of surgery. In order to maintain the results of liposuction, you need to follow healthy lifestyle habits.
Dr. Malek will help you decide if you are a candidate for liposuction and will also recommend healthy lifestyle habits post-surgery. As Dr. Malek is one of the best providers of liposuction Scottsdale has to offer, Dr. Malek is the clear choice for patients looking for this procedure.
No matter how carefully you watch your diet or how religiously you exercise, there are certain body areas that naturally retain fat. In women, fatty deposits tend to collect on the tummy, buttocks, thighs, flanks and upper arms. In men, the fat tends to collect on the tummy area. It can be depressing when you work and work and finally reach your weight goal and still see those fatty deposits.
The body is built to store fat – back in time, these fat deposits were a reserve, meant to protect the body in rough times. Thankfully, through modern surgical and non-surgical techniques, we can now improve on nature. We have no need to store fat in these areas – and it can be eliminated with liposuction.
Our liposuction in Phoenix is a safe and effective treatment for removing fat deposits, and has been used around the world for decades. Advances in technology have led to better, safer lipo systems to remove unwanted fat. Are you living with fat deposits that make you feel less than attractive? As your body has a limited number of fat cells, once the fat is removed, these cells are gone forever.
Liposuction can be an effective way to improve your body contour and make your body the piece of art you envision. Let us help you achieve the slim, trim profile you want. If liposuction is the procedure that will give you the most dramatic changes, it will be one aspect of your custom treatment plan.

DR.MALEK DISCUSSES LIPOSUCTION
Many people are interested in liposuction, but have questions about recovery time. After the procedure is complete, you may feel some minor pain, easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. It will take a few days for you to notice the weight change, as your body has been injected with fluid as part of the procedure.
It is advised that after surgery you eat light, bland food only, and drink plenty of liquids to rehydrate and rebalance your fluids.Dr. Malek will suggest a compression garment to cover treatment areas once your procedure is completed. To help to control swelling and compress the skin to your new body contours.Your slimmer, trimmer body will be revealed as the weeks pass, with the final changes being apparent at about three to four months. What could be more rewarding than looking in the mirror and seeing a fitter looking, trimmer body? If you are considering liposuction in Phoenix, Dr. Malek should be your top choice.
You will experience some swelling which diminishes quickly – far faster than earlier generations of lipo treatment.
You should see an impressive difference in three to four days, but you have not yet reached the full effect. After liposuction in Scottsdale, patients can typically expect to recover quickly from their procedure. There will inevitably be some bruising and inflammation in the treated areas.
In addition, some patients may have small, temporary drains placed in existing incisions beneath the skin to remove any excess blood or fluid.
During recovery, most patients are able to stay relatively active. Within just a few days post-op, patients can return to their daily routine.
Strenuous activities will have to be postponed for a few weeks and patients are urged to stay out of the sun until the bruising fades. It may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate and for complete results to be visible.
PATIENT EDUCATION
A board-certified plastic surgeon has dedicated an average of sixteen years to advanced medical education and training – just the first step in achieving board certification as a plastic surgeon. Once the entire education and residency are completed, to become certified requires a lengthy and comprehensive two-day oral and written examination to evaluate scope of knowledge and understanding, ethical standing, and the physician’s approach to patient health and safety.
Many other medical professionals offer cosmetic procedures, including MDs – who may market their practice as a “cosmetic surgery” practice, but have not undergone the extensive specialty training of a board certified plastic surgeon. If you are planning a cosmetic procedure, qualifications matter – in a big way. You want a result that you love, not a disaster that requires revision surgery. Dr. Malek, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is often called upon to repair poorly performed cosmetic surgeries. Always check for board certification as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon if you are planning a cosmetic procedure.
During training, a plastic surgeon is working full time, and spends about 3,000 hours of hands-on practice under the training and supervision of a senior, certified plastic surgeon who is overseeing all of their work. One indicator of lack of board certification as a plastic surgeon who offers a “cut-rate” deal, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Another indicator is that the medical professional offering cosmetic services who is not a board certified plastic surgeon will not have hospital privileges – almost all hospitals require plastic surgery procedures that are performed at their facility to be board certified reconstructive and plastic surgeons. Board certification is only awarded by the American Board of Plastic Surgery – no other group or entity with a similar-sounding name.
Surgeons who have completed the required residency for plastic and reconstructive surgery have the experience, knowledge, and surgical techniques to perform the most complex surgical procedures, including: Facelifts, Nose jobs (rhinoplasty), Eyelid surgery, Brow lift, Body lift, Tummy tuck, Arm lift, Breast augmentation, Breast lift, Breast reduction, Breast revision, Breast reconstruction
Unfortunately, there are many medical “boards,” and an MD can present themselves as a “plastic surgeon,” but have not gone through the extensive education and training of an actual board-certified plastic surgeon. You have the right to know the certification of a medical professional who offers a surgical procedure – just ask.Many other medical professionals offer cosmetic procedures, including MDs – who may market their practice as a “cosmetic surgery” practice, but have not undergone the extensive specialty training of a board certified plastic surgeon.

For a better understanding of the certification of a physician, the basics are as follows:A licensed MD has been educated in some surgical techniques, but not even close to the extent of the training required to achieve board certification as a plastic surgeon.A board-certified cosmetic surgeon is significantly different than a board certified plastic surgeon. Certification from the American Board of Medical Specialties does not issue certificates for “cosmetic surgery.” However, an MD is not violating the law by calling him or herself a “cosmetic surgeon.” The question is, does he or she have the experience, knowledge, and advanced techniques that will produce an excellent result?
