Liposuction

Liposuction is a method of removing localized deposits of fat to recontour one or more areas of your body. These areas include abdomen, hips, waist, back, buttocks, thighs, knees, legs/calves, chin and neck. It is a frequently performed cosmetic procedure that will give great results in appropriate individuals.

The ideal candidate is of normal weight, with firm, elastic skin who has localized pockets of excess fat. Most patients, of course, are not “ideal” candidates, but as long as you are physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you can expect marked improvement in your figure. Liposuction does not replace dietary control and is not used for weight loss, but rather for “sculpting” you to your best, most ideal shape, at whatever stable weight you are. Swelling and bruising are to be expected. Women often wear post op garments for three weeks or so.

Minimal downtime is to be expected, although 4 -10 days is recommended for recuperation.
