Liposuction

Oftentimes, even after showing dedication to diet and exercise, you may still find you have pockets of fat that linger. Liposuction with Paramus plastic surgeon Dr. John Cozzone is a method of localized surgical body fat removal that can help you take one of the final steps of weight loss. 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 localized 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. If you've experienced failure with traditional body slimming techniques, and specific areas of persistent fat remain a problem for you, then liposuction at our New Jersey plastic surgery office may be an appropriate solution.

Liposuction Treatment Areas

Body fat in almost any area can be permanently reduced with liposuction. The body areas most commonly treated with liposuction include:

Thighs
Abdomen
Arms
Flanks
Ankles
Neck
Back
Buttocks

How Liposuction Is Performed

Dr. Cozzone uses the proven-effective tumescent liposuction technique to gently extra excess fatty tissue during your body contouring procedure. Using very small incisions, Dr. Cozzone applies an numbing solution that saturates targeted fat cells and makes the fat easier to remove. Next, he uses a thin tube called a cannula to dislodge and removed with fat with suction.

The liposuction recovery period typically lasts about a week, possibly two if extensive liposuction is performed, and most bruising and swelling clears up within this time frame as well. You may also wear compression garments to aid in proper healing for up to three weeks after liposuction, as well as a small drainage tube to collect any fluid build-up, but this will be removed after a day or so.

Within three months, you will start to see your final liposuction results take shape, and your results will only continue to improve over the next several months. The best part about liposuction is that once the fat cells are gone, they're gone for good, but keep in mind that it takes a continued commitment to eating right and exercising regularly to maintain your results.
