Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body through small incisions. As one of the most popular methods for body contouring, liposuction helps sculpt and refine the silhouette by removing stubborn fat cells that are resistant to diet and exercise, creating a more proportionate appearance.
Is Liposuction Right For Me?
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anoush Hadaegh of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore specializes in liposuction procedures tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hadaegh will carefully evaluate your areas of concern, discuss your desired outcome, review your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate for liposuction.
Precise Targeting of Problem Areas
One of the greatest advantages of liposuction is the ability to address specific problem areas with incredible precision. Whether you’re concerned about a double chin, neck fullness, upper arm flab, inner or outer thigh bulges, love handles, belly, or hip rolls, liposuction can be used to effectively remove troublesome fat tissue.
Multiple Techniques
Today’s advanced liposuction options give patients more choices than ever before:
- Traditional tumescent liposuction uses a special fluid to break up fat cells before removal.
- SmartLipo adds laser energy to liquify fat and tighten skin.
- SAFELipo employs a three-step process to separate, remove, and equalize fat for smooth, natural-looking results.
Simple Recovery Process
Most liposuction patients can return to work after four days and resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks. While some swelling and bruising are normal, compression garments minimize these effects. Pain is typically minor and well-controlled with medication. The liposuction recovery process is straightforward, and most patients are surprised by how manageable their healing journey actually is.
Combination Treatment Options
Liposuction can be effectively combined with other procedures for enhanced results. When utilized as part of the fat grafting technique, for example, the removed fat can be purified and transferred to areas needing volume, like the face, buttocks, or breasts. Liposuction is also commonly performed alongside tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and other body contouring procedures for a comprehensive transformation.
Improved Self-Esteem
Beyond the physical changes, liposuction delivers significant psychological benefits that enhance patients’ overall quality of life. Many individuals report feeling increased self-confidence with an improved body image after their procedure, leading to greater comfort in social settings. Additionally, the ability to fit better into a broader range of clothing and feel more proportionate in their body can profoundly impact self-esteem.
Long-Lasting Results
Once fat cells are removed through liposuction, they do not return to the treated area. While you can still regain weight, maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps ensure your new figure lasts.
