Liposuction In Miami, FL

No single technology is the best choice for every type of fat, so each of Dr. Pazmiño’s technologies is the most effective way to treat a specific kind of tissue, such as:

• Soft fat
• Medium-density fat
• Dense, fibrous fat
• Fat mixed with glandular tissue
• Fat mixed with scar tissue

Everyone has different amounts and types of fat in different areas, so Dr. Pazmiño chooses the best technology for each area, often using several in the same procedure. This tailored approach treats each area more effectively and helps create smoother, more refined results.

• Dr. Pazmiño is known for complex revision surgery, including liposuction revision, so he understands how to plan smooth, even contours from your first procedure.
• He has practiced plastic surgery since 2003 and has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. Because many of those surgeries combine several procedures, more than 8,000 of them include liposuction.
• Certified and held to the highest standards: Dr. Pazmiño is a board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Aesthetic Society (ASAPS).
• Trained at the best, and now training others: He graduated with honors from Harvard University and earned his medical degree with distinction from Baylor College of Medicine. He also completed his general and plastic surgery residency there and served as Chief Resident. Today he teaches the next generation of plastic surgeons as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami and the University of Pittsburgh.
• His peers have entrusted him with some of the most important roles in his specialty: As Associate Editor of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, the #1 scientific journal in aesthetic surgery, he helps decide which research and techniques reach plastic surgeons around the world. He brings that knowledge straight to your care.
• He helps write the safety rules other surgeons follow: He serves on the Board of Directors of The Aesthetic Foundation, where he is Treasurer and Co-Chair of the Scientific Research Committee. He is also Chair of The Aesthetic Society’s Patient Safety Committee. Closer to home, he serves as Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons. He helps set the standards surgeons follow across the country, and he follows them for you.
• Honored for keeping patients safe: He received the Tiffany Award from The Aesthetic Society and the Patient Safety Award from The Aesthetic Foundation.
• Hospital-level care: Your surgery takes place in a hospital or an accredited surgical facility, with dedicated nursing care and closer monitoring.
• A national leader who still makes time for you: Even with these national roles, Dr. Pazmiño takes the time to listen to your goals, explain every option, and care for you personally.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you:

• Are at or near your ideal body weight
• Have localized fat pockets that resist diet and exercise
• Have good skin elasticity in the areas you want treated
• Are in good overall health and do not smoke, or are willing to quit before surgery
• Understand that liposuction shapes your body but is not a weight-loss procedure
• Have realistic expectations and are committed to maintaining a stable weight

If you have significant loose skin, liposuction alone may leave the area looking deflated. In that case, Dr. Pazmiño may recommend a tummy tuck or a skin-tightening treatment such as BodyTite or Renuvion®.

Liposuction offers targeted fat reduction that exercise alone often can’t achieve. Key benefits include:

• A slimmer waist, abdomen, hips, or thighs
• Toned upper arms without loose “bat wing” fullness
• A sharper jawline and neck when the chin is treated
• Permanent removal of fat cells from the treated areas
• Small incisions placed in inconspicuous locations
• Better body proportions and clothing fit
• The option to treat several areas in one procedure

A little preparation goes a long way toward a comfortable recovery. Dr. Pazmiño will give you personalized instructions, which usually include these steps:

1. Maintain a stable weight in the months before your procedure.
2. Stop smoking and using nicotine products several weeks before surgery, as nicotine slows healing.
3. Complete any lab work or medical clearance Dr. Pazmiño requests.
4. Avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory medications, supplements, and alcohol, as directed.
5. Buy loose, dark clothing and absorbent pads for the first few days, when the incisions drain.

1. Wear your compression garment exactly as directed to reduce swelling and guide healing.
2. Take short walks several times a day to support circulation.
3. Take any prescribed antibiotics and medications exactly as instructed.
4. Keep your incisions clean, and protect your bedding during the first days of drainage.
5. Drink plenty of water and limit salty foods to help control swelling.
6. Avoid strenuous activity for about 1 month or until Dr. Pazmiño clears you.
7. Maintain a stable weight afterward to protect your new contours.
