Liposuction (Lipoplasty / Suction Lipectomy)
This popular procedure sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat which has not responded to diet or exercise. The most common areas are the abdomen, waist, hips, back, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks and arms. It is not a treatment for obesity. This procedure is often combined with other rejuvenative procedures such as a tummy tuck or arm lift. Our preferred method of liposuction is with the initial injection of a small amount of fluid with a local anesthetic into the area. Next, a vibrating thin tube is placed in the same area of fat which is then suctioned out. The suction is carried out through tiny, inconspicuous incisions. A pressure garment will be recommended after your procedure to help you heal quickly.

You may have heard of alternatives to liposuction such as mesotherapy and lipolite. These techniques may be trendy but they are unproven. Newer techniques of liposuction are also being aggressively marketed, some of which involve the use of a laser. There is no large study that properly evaluates these in terms of safety and effectiveness. Our office is monitoring the development of these techniques but does not recommend them at this time.
