Does health insurance cover liposuction?
Clinical Policy Bulletin:
Abdominoplasty, Suction Lipectomy, and Ventral Hernia Repair
Number: 0211
Policy
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy medically necessary according to the following criteria:
The medical records document that the panniculus causes chronic intertrigo (dermatitis occurring on opposed surfaces of the skin, skin irritation, infection or chafing) that consistently recurs over 3 months while receiving appropriate medical therapy (e.g., oral or topical prescription medication), or remains refractory to appropriate medical therapy over a period of 3 months.
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy cosmetic when these criteria are not met.
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy experimental and investigational for minimizing the risk of hernia formation or recurrence. There is inadequate evidence that pannus contributes to hernia formation. The primary cause of hernia formation is an abdominal wall defect or weakness, not a pulling effect from a large or redundant pannus.
Aetna considers repair of a true incisional or ventral hernia medically necessary.
Aetna considers abdominoplasty, suction lipectomy, or lipoabdominoplasty cosmetic.
Background
In order to distinguish a ventral hernia repair from a purely cosmetic abdominoplasty, Aetna requires documentation of the size of the hernia, whether the ventral hernia is reducible, whether the hernia is accompanied by pain or other symptoms, the extent of diastasis (separation) of rectus abdominus muscles, whether there is a defect (as opposed to mere thinning) of the abdominal fascia, and office notes indicating the presence and size of the fascial defect.
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can improve cosmesis by reducing the protrusion of the abdomen. However, abdominoplasty is considered by Aetna to be cosmetic because it is not associated with functional improvements
Why is there a upper stomach bulge after liposuction?
I've seen liposuction done on TV and it's no wonder you are swelling and in discomfort. When the surgeon has you under anesthetic then they insert tubes that suction out the fat and there is pushing and pulling of those tubes. Your surgeon should have told you what lays ahead of you as far as healing time. Be sure you keep in close contact with your surgeon and if you have any concerns you call that surgeon and make an appointment. It will take a few weeks for the bruising to go away and at least a week to 10 days for the swelling to go down, but be careful of infection. Remember, if you don't feel well, the swelling doesn't go down in those 10 days get to your surgeon immediately and if they can't take you right away go to the ER.

What kind of massages are good to get after liposuction?
MESSAGE AND EXERCISE Down-stroking. As soon after surgery as your surgeon gives permission, (usually three to four days), you will want to start massaging your chin and neck area. Gather the skin gently, stroking it with a downward, soothing motion towards your heart. Circular massage. Another easy massaging technique is to stroke the area in which liposuction has been performed with a smooth, circular motion, tracing small circles on your skin with the tips of your fingers. The pattern should be repeated until you have covered the entire area. You can do this massage a number of times a day. Pinch/release. Another massage you can use after liposuction of the face, chin, or neck is to pinch your skin gently and, after a slow count to five, release it. Grasp as much of your skin in the chin/neck area as you can comfortably hold between your thumb and one or two fingers. Full it gently away from your body. Count slowly to five. Release the skin. Then repeat the pinch/release motions in another spot. Your surgeon will tell you how soon after surgery you can begin this massage. in general, in my opinion, a week after liposuction is the appropriate time to start. The pinch/release massage helps to reduce the inflammatory reaction by improving circulation. It stimulates the flow of blood, thereby aiding healing. Gradually increase the time of massage-starting with one or two minutes at a time, and working up to five minutes or so. Do this about 10 times a day. It will help blood circulation and speed the healing process. Do not be afraid to touch the area in which liposuction has been performed. It may be slightly numb at first, or even a bit tingly, like a foot that's gone to sleep, but that sensation will gradually go away. 1. Facial grimaces. Within three or four days after surgery, or as soon as your physician tells you it is all right to do so, begin practicing facial grimaces. In addition to smiling frequently, deliberately distort your facial features by twisting your mouth and jaw into strange contortions. When you first begin, doing these movements in front of a mirror may help you. As you become more confident and less self-conscious about them, you can grimace while you are driving a car, doing household chores, or whenever you have a few moments. These exercises can be done many times a day. The reason for grimacing is that it helps pull up the muscles in the face, chin, and neck area, thereby tightening your skin after liposuction, and helping you to heal faster and more attractively. 2. Neck extension. An easy exercise that will benefit the face, chin, and neck area is to extend your neck. Bring your head down towards your chest. Then, slowly bring it back up again to a normal position. Continue the motion backwards, until you are looking up at the wall or a portion of the ceiling, with your chin pointing up and your head tilted backwards. Next, return to your normal position, and begin again. Do not perform this exercise hurriedly or with a jerky motion. Instead, concentrate on doing it smoothly and gently. You will find it helps avoid undesirable adhesions, and stretches the skin gently, keeping it pliant and supple. 3. Neck rotation. With a smooth, unhurried motion, turn your face and neck from side to side as far as you can go. You are stretching your skin and your underlying tissues. At first, soon after surgery, your range of motion may be somewhat limited; as the healing process continues, and as you practice this exercise, you will gradually be able to move your neck farther in each direction. copyright-dr.leon tcheupdjian/liposuction 1.

Why shouldn't it? :)

How long does laser liposuction recovery takes?
You will be active and walking from day one. However I will limit your vigorous exercise and weight lifting or aerobics for ten days.
Your garment will be changed to a light Spanks type garment after three to five days.
When small areas like the chin or a minor tummy procedure are done, some people return to work the next day.
Recovery to a more normal skin appearance can take ten days to two weeks for swelling and bruising, if any, to resolve.
Your skin appearance, skin tightening and result will continue to improve for three to six months as the skin gradually tightens over the areas where fat has been removed. The remarkable thing about the this new technique technique is that the skin is much smoother than after traditional old time suction lipectomy. I believe that the laser dissolving of the fat prior to removal results in a more uniform fat removal.
What is positive about cosmetic surgery?
Cosmetic surgery is a great confidence booster in most cases. When a perceived physical imperfection is holding someone back, such as sticky out ears or bags underneath the eyes, it can affect things such as personal relationships. In these circumstances cosmetic surgery can be life changing. People in such situations tend to feel they can move on and enjoy life more after surgery, without the embarrassment that this imperfection caused before. After cosmetic surgery many people take a new pride in their appearance and are driven to improve other aspects of their lives as a result of a positive surgery experience
How often can you have liposuction?
This question's answer is complex, but can be answered generally in 2 parts. First, lipo, if done correctly by a trained and properly certified plastic surgeon can be effective if done only once if you maintain your healthy weight and exercise. If enough fat was removed and the result was as you desired, then it was considered effective. If you didn't get the look you wanted, it could still be said to be effective, but simply not meeting your ideals. The plastic surgeon along with you, the patient, determine before surgery what is to be interpreted as the best outcome or an effective result. When the patient's wishes diverge from what is prudent or what is feasible, even if the lipo was done well and produces a cosmetically appealing result, the patient can say that the surgery was not "effective" even though it may have been quite effective. This is a separate argument and doesn�t address effectiveness, but speaks to patient expectations which can be really out of line with what is possible or probable.
The second part of the answer deals is how many times can it be done and be effective, using the definition of �effective� above (cosmetically appealing, meeting ideals, etc). Lipo produces minor damage to the tissues from the cannulas being forced in and out of the fat. This may produce scarring which can contract the tissues. Going back in the same area, the surgeon might encounter fibrous or tough scar-like tissues which don't suction well. This can produce a moth-eaten or over-suctioned appearance. I think of Tara Reid�s stomach when I think of over-suctioned. She looks like someone either didn�t know what they were doing (see credential comment above) or someone who did too much. So, for this part of the answer, repeated lipo in the same area with that kind of outcome could be said to be ineffective after repeated treatments, regardless of how many. That said, know that lipo revisions are common, meaning that the surgeon might have to re-enter the lipo'd site to take more fat, but this is usually a very small amount in a focused area, so the risk of over-suctioning is smaller...but it can still happen.
In summary, lipo can be performed once and be effective, and multiple suctioning of the same area may be more effective if done judiciously and in small amounts with the goal of perfecting the first procedure. Of course, if you are not going to exercise and eat healthy, lipo is a waste of money and time. You supposedly cannot add more fat cells to areas that are lipo'd but you can likely expand the fat cells left behind and you can certainly add fat to other areas, distorting the overall proportion of your body that you paid to attain with lipo. Many surgeons won't take patients who are not within a fair range of their ideal weight for his reason.

How does laser liposuction work?
Laser Liposuction works to make a traditionally invasive procedure a little less problematic and safer. The surgeon would first take the wand and enter it into the patient. In the 'treatment zone' they wave the wand like device back and forth underneath the skin. The laser literally liquefies the fat-cells, which can then by sucked up by the lipoSUCTION machine. In the process, the laser also cauterizes the blood vessels which leads to a happier patient (not as much swelling, bleeding etc.) This tends to lend itself to a quicker recovery time.
