Liposuction

Liposuction

Enhanced Body Contours

Liposuction uses tiny incisions to remove stubborn fat using small canulas.

Specialized Plastic Surgery offers safe and effective liposuction, without confusing you with many of the liposuction techniques available. We offer a multitude of liposuction techniques that target area all over the face and body. Our surgeons can help you navigate the confusing landscape of liposuction and energy assisted technology and determine what is right for you. Liposuction is combined with many procedures including skin excision, skin tightening, body contouring, and fat grafting procedures.

Procedure Details

  • You and your surgeon will identify target areas on examination.
  • Markings are placed.
  • If a small area of the body is targeted, the procedure can be done under local anesthesia
  • If a larger area is to be addressed, local anesthesia with mild sedation can be used
  • If multiple, large areas are operated on, the procedure is done under general anesthesia
  • All cases are done on an outpatient basis and go home the same day.
  • A compression garment is applied at the end of the procedure, and should be worn for at least two months to help reduce post-surgical swelling.

Liposuction is not a great option for all patients who are overweight, have medical problems, or have very thin skin.

In rare cases, large volumes of fat removal will require an overnight stay at the facility where the procedure is performed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does liposuction take?:Procedure duration ranges from 30 minutes to three hours, depending upon which areas of the body it addresses.

Will I accumulate fat elsewhere in the body after liposuction?:Liposuction removes fat cells from the targeted areas. This does not cause you to gain weight in other areas. However, if you gain a significant amount of weight after surgery, it will tend to accumulate where it naturally tends to accumulate on your body.
