Posted March 30, 2016 in Liposuction
You may have started your year out right and kept to a strict diet and regular exercise. Did you lose all the weight you wanted, or are you still left with unwanted excess fat? Often, there are some pockets of fat that are stubborn and resistant to diet and exercise. If you want to target those last few inches of fat, liposuction can be performed. Liposuction is an excellent option for eliminating areas of localized fat.
With summer just lurking around the corner, you may find yourself cringing when the thought of bathing suit season comes to mind. Liposuction is a powerful surgical technique used to eliminate problem fatty areas and provide a more flattering silhouette.
Liposuction can be performed on the face, breasts, and body. Men and women can undergo liposuction to achieve:
- More slender body contours
- Removal of stubborn bulges
- A reduction in overly large proportions
As one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, liposuction not only removes fat but is designed to sculpt and recontour the body.
Common Liposuction Areas:
- Love handles (flanks)
- Thighs and knees
- Chin and neck
- Stomach and waistline
- Hips and buttocks
Typically, liposuction is performed by inserting a hollow metal rod (cannula) through a tiny incision. The cannula is then used to break up fat cells, and a suctioning device removes the fat through the cannula. Dr. Morales offers different liposuction techniques depending on the patient’s needs. One of the following can be performed to target stubborn fat:
- Traditional liposuction: Small cannulas are used to extract fat cells from the body.
- Ultrasonic and VASERlipo®: Ultrasonic waves are used to break apart and liquefy fat for more efficient removal.
- Laser Liposuction or Smartlipo™: Heat is applied to tighten skin and break up fat cells for easier removal.
During your consultation, all of the liposuction techniques will be discussed in further detail. Dr. Morales will help decide on the best treatment plan based on your individual circumstances and your skin elasticity.
Patients can expect to achieve a slimmer, better-proportioned figure after undergoing liposuction. You can target fatty tissue and get rid of the excess weight that has been stalling the debut of your new summer body.
