Liposuction

Now among the m ost popular cosmetic surgery procedures, liposuction (also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy") sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, neck and upper arms. Power-assisted (PAL), ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and the tumescent technique are among the various methods used to provide precise results.

Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods.

This procedure is typically performed under sedation or general anesthesia on an out-patient basis, meaning you will be able to go home that same day. Full recovery to normal activity level typically takes 2-3 weeks.

Learn more about Liposuction from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons at www.plasticsurgery.org.

Please contact our cosmetic surgery practice to schedule an appointment for this procedure.
