Etching refers to the act of sculpting or sketching designs. Combining both words into Silhouetch℠ reflects the beautiful transformation to your desired Silhouette.

Am I a Candidate for a Silhouetch℠ ?
The best candidates for a Silhouetch℠ procedure are patients who already lead a healthy lifestyle and eat a healthy diet, are at or close to their ideal body weight, and have areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Silhouetch℠ is a body contouring procedure and is not intended to be a weight loss procedure. The best candidates just need a little bit of help to reveal their underlying anatomy and take the amount of definition in their body to the next level.
No, Silhouetch℠ High Def Lipo Michigan has been performed on a 60 year old grandmother and 65 year old retirees! The average age of our male and female Silhouetch℠ patients is 40 years old when taken together. The average age of women is 38 and men is 42. This is slightly younger than the average age of our patients undergoing basic liposuction which is 44 years old.
The length of time a Silhouetch℠ procedure takes depends on the patient’s body mass index (BMI) and the number of areas treated. This aesthetic plastic surgery procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. If we are treating someone with a lower BMI in just one or two areas then the procedure may take 1 hour. Full body treatment in a higher BMI patient may take as long as 4 hours. These are outpatient procedures so you will be going home at the end of the procedure.
After having fat removed with liposuction, the swelling will be worse before it gets better and may take up to 1 month until you start to see your final results and 3-6 months to see your final results. Bruising generally goes away after a few days but taking Arnica pills starting 2 days pre-op and for about a week post-op may help.
The incisions used are stealth incisions which are hidden away from the typical view of others. Great care is taken to keep the incisions out of sight and as small as possible to allow the tiny liposuction cannulas to pass through under the excess skin to remove the fat. This is the critical component of these procedures being deemed minimally invasive. The incisions are usually only a few millimeters in size which is roughly the size of a pen dot.
Silhouetch℠ procedures are charged based on your body mass index (BMI), number of areas treated, how much fat you need to be removed, and location of treatment. Having your procedure done at our surgery center is more affordable than at a hospital where we cannot control expenses related to anesthesia and facility fees.
Recovery From Silhouetch℠
Patients should consider taking 3 days off from work and 1 month off from heavy lifting or strenuous exercises. Early results are seen at 1 month post-op, but it takes up to 3-6 months for all of the swelling to resolve. In the meantime, compression and massage will help the swelling to go down. Patients will need to wear compression garments 23 hours/day for 1 month, followed by 12 hours/day for 2 months, then as needed for 3 months. Massage should be performed daily for 15-30 minutes for 1 month. This will help decrease the swelling and smooth out any potential lumps or bumps. There will be drainage from the incision holes until they close after 24-48 hours.
