What is Liposuction?
Even though you diet and exercise, you might still have pockets of fat that prevent you from feeling confident in yourself. Martin Plastic Surgery is proud to offer advanced methods to effectively rid fat from certain body parts. Surgical liposuction is a body contouring procedure that reduces fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks to create a trimmer appearance. This fat removal surgery can be blended to treat multiple body parts. During your initial visit, Dr. Scot A. Martin will assess problematic areas and create a treatment plan that will help you reach your personal goals. We will strive to help you feel and look amazing. Contact our office in Las Cruces, NM to learn more.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
Liposuction is performed in an outpatient setting using general anesthesia. A very small incision is made through the skin so a cannula can be inserted. The cannula is a tube that makes it easier to work the fat loose so it can easily be vacuumed out. After the desired amount of fatty tissue has been eliminated, Dr. Martin will seal the small incision. Depending on the number of areas being treated, your surgery could last 1 – 3 hours. In the separate area for recovery, your post-operation nurse will assist you with managing any pain and look after your treated areas until you are discharged.

Four years later and it's still the BEST money I've ever spent!! - Ok so a little history on me. I am a 34 year old mother of 2 (6 and 2), and I have a demanding career as a OR nurse. I am 5'11" and at my heaviest in 2006 weighed in at a whopping 339lbs! December 2006 I had a LapBand placed and lost 130 lbs in 2 years, and have kept it off for 2 1/2 more years. But after yo-yo wieghtloss, 2 kids, and finally a huge weightloss by body was...unattractive, to say the least. I chose Dr. Scott Martin in Las Cruces, NM. I know many people who have used him and have all been so happy with their results. He is dry but very qualified and I instantly felt at ease with him and his office. My goal was not to look like a supermodel swimsuit model; I just wanted to be a better version of myself. Day 1: (July 31, 2012) Surgery took about 5 hours. I had an extended abdominalplasty, b/l mastopexy, augmentation, and liposuction. I arrived at the surgery center at 7am and was in the car going home at about 2pm. I don't remember much of the recovery room, but I remember thinking that it didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought it was going to. Dr. Martin does not place drains, so I'm grateful for that, and I was in my compression garment before I woke up. I had to drink and pee before they let me go and they made sure I was comfortable. I slept all the way home. He sent me home with SCD's that I wore whenever I was not up walking. Sleeping in the recliner was definietly the way to go and I was pretty comfortable there. Never would I say that I had "pain", just uncomfortable even at its worst. Day 2: Still a decided lack of pain. I am pale and get winded easily but I am really not hurting like I thought I would. I can get in and out of the recliner by myself as well as on and off the toilet. I am swelling, so I feel so tight but that's the worst of it. I only took 3 pain pills all day! Yay! Day 3: Took a shower today. Had to sit and rest afterwards and then got back into my compression garment because the swelling is fairly significant. But I can still see such a huge difference from before and I'm feeling excited about the whole thing. eating light meals, but never any nausea or vomiting. Went for my first post-op appt today and Dr. Martin said I was doing amazingly well and to keep up the good work, but not to over do it. My mother-in-law and I went to olive garden after the appt. only took 2 pain pills today! Day4: I've started taking tylenol instead of pain pills. I just don't really need them anymore. I do still take a muscle relaxer at night but that's about it. I think I may sleep in the bed tomorrow night because I don't hunch over anymore and can stand up fairly straight. If it doesn't work I can go back to the recliner. I am so amazed at how well this whole thing has gone. I expected so much more pain and, well, just horror. But it's been really a fairly great experience! As soon as the swelling goes down it will be Perfect! I will post pictures soon
