Liposuction

Liposuction

Liposuction, also known as suction lipectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body. It is typically used to contour the abdomen, flanks, hips, back, thighs, arms and other areas where diet and exercise have been ineffective to remove localized fat deposits. It is used to help patients achieve a slimmer, more proportional and contoured body shape. Liposuction is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise, so it is only recommended for patients of normal weight with a healthy lifestyle.

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

Liposuction is a highly individualized procedure. If you are bothered by excess fat deposits – located anywhere on your body – that do not respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you. Ideal candidates for liposuction are:

• Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone

• Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing

• Nonsmokers/non-vapers

• Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring
