Liposuction

Liposuction (also known as liposculpture, body contouring surgery, and lipoplasty), is the most common cosmetic procedure done in the United States today. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, close to 400,000 liposuction procedures are currently performed a year. It is a surgical procedure designed to contour and sculpt various areas of the body by removing unwanted fat. Liposuction is well suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise.

Body Contouring/Liposuction has undergone many refinements and today it is a very safe and effective method of sculpting tissue to achieve the desired body contour. To accomplish this, a variety of methods can be used that will best serve the individual patient's unique features. These include the Tumescent Technique, Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), and Ultrasonic Liposuction (UAL). By using these various methods, your surgeon is able to essentially sculpt the tissue into the desired contour.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you have excess fat or desire contouring in any of the following areas:

  • Abdomen and Waist
  • Breasts (Male and Female)
  • Inner and Outer Thighs
  • Cheeks, Jowls and Neck
  • Hips and Buttocks
  • Inner Knees
  • Upper Arms

Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. Rather, the best results are obtained when it is undertaken in conjunction with a commitment to a healthy diet and a regular routine of exercise.

Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at the same time, and, in certain cases, can also be done in conjunction with other aesthetic procedures. Because of individual physical factors, not everyone will achieve the same results from liposuction. Your unique characteristics will be identified and the most effective treatment will be presented to you.
