A success that knows no boundaries

Dr. Prescott has been performing liposuction in Montréal since the procedure was first introduced in the 1980s. The popularity of this cosmetic surgery , now available in Joliette, lies on the fact that, in many cases, neither exercise nor diet succeeds in eliminating specific fatty tissue.

Now also offered in Joliette, liposuction or liposculpture is a reshaping technique that is done by the suctioning of fat deposits from specific parts of the body.

Tumescent liposuction is a surgery that helps men and women all over the world achieve a better appearance, rejuvenating their figure with a slimmer and more harmonized silhouette.

The procedure step by step

Dr. Prescott's Montreal and Joliette clinics professionals in liposuction go through a pre-operative assessment with patients in order to determine general health, and the local anaesthetic dosage required for body weight.

Before starting the liposuction, patients are administered a pre-operative medication that induces calm and relaxation.

As patients remain conscious through the entire procedure, they are able to witness the excellent work ethics of the professionals caring for them. Once the body part is disinfected, anaesthetized and marked, the surgeon and his assisting nurse proceed with the removal of fatty deposits. The entire procedure is painless.

Once the liposuction is completed, a dressing and a support girdle is applied.

The post-operative period

IWhether the liposuction targets the abdomen, thighs or neck, the dressing should stay in place for 24 hours. Depending on the type of procedure, the girdle must be worn between 1 to 3 weeks. In certain cases, bruising is normal. Patients show very little pain during the post-operative period, and a mild sedative is enough to get rid of it. In most cases, patients can return to work 48 hours later.
