Port Charlotte Dr. Anthony Brignoni Explains Florida Liposuction Law Limits

If you're considering liposuction, Port Charlotte, Florida, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Anthony Brignoni, who has provided many tumescent liposuction procedures to patients since 1991, explains Florida liposuction law. The daily limit on the amount of liposuction that can be done in one day is 4,000 ccs of fat.

If the patient wants to have liposuction in multiple places in the body at the same time this can be accomplished within one tumescent liposuction procedure. However, the limit to the amount of fat that can be removed in one day remains at 4,000 ccs of fat per surgery day. This is equal to approximately two pounds of fat.

This does not mean that a patient cannot come back in one day or two days or three days later in one week to have more fat removed. But there must be days between tumescent liposuction procedures.

The reason for the law is for the protection of the patient. There have been unregulated beauty businesses -- both doctors and medical spas -- that were avoiding safety measures by performing liposuction in their offices using only sedative pills or creams instead of strong anesthesia. The reason that the other routes were taken were to offer patients low fees and to save money. The law protect patients who were looking for cheap liposuction and to prevent any venue from offering liposuction procedures without the proper use of anesthesia.

The Brignoni Cosmetogynecology Center is a state of the art medical facility in beautiful Port Charlotte, Florida. The Center is a state regulated, licensed and inspected facility where patients can have liposuction procedures to remove unwanted fat, to smooth and sculpt the body and create a more shapely physique.

The recovery time for liposuction is usually two weeks but you won’t see the results for several weeks. Patients might go back to work within three days. The major part of recovery from a liposuction procedure is that all the fluid that is put into the body for the procedure has to come out. Most of the fluid comes out during surgery through suction or it drains naturally. For the next 40 to 72 hours after surgery the patient is at home and is going to be draining fluid.

Once the fluid stops or is all drained or the patient is not draining anymore, they can go back to work and back to basic, normal activities. They will experience some tenderness because a surgery has been performed and the tenderness could remain for probably a week or ten days.

As time passes a patient is going to see a decrease in their size depending on the area that the liposuction was performed in. A change gradually occurs and from three days after the surgery patients will see a big difference.

But in six weeks they’ll see even a bigger difference in how they’re going to look. A patient is going to look different six months from the date of the first liposuction and they will continue changing if the patient has a good diet and a good plan to stay healthy. Exercise daily and routinely will provide even more positive benefits.

The importance of fitness, eating right, changing diet and including exercise as a regular part of their lifestyle. Patients are given the direction and a health map to maintain a good healthy lifestyle.
