Liposuction

Liposuction is a method of surgical body fat removal. With liposuction, almost any area of the body can be slimmed down and given a more appealing contour. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It is however, an excellent way to eradicate persistent fat deposits -- fat that won't go away through diet and exercise.

How to know if liposuction is right for you

A good candidate for liposuction will be healthy, have good skin tone and be at a stable body weight.

How liposuction is performed

Tumescent liposuction is the traditional and proven technique performed by plastic surgeons today. During this procedure, the surgeon makes very small incisions and saturates the targeted fat with a special solution that contains anesthetic. Using a very small tube called a cannula, the fat is dislodged and removed with suction. After liposuction, it is common to experience some swelling and bruising, but once these effects subside you'll be able to appreciate the results.
