Liposuction removes fat from localized areas of the body to contour, reshape and slim these disproportionate features. The fat is removed with suction instrumentation after it has been initially lysed by tumescent solution, which also assists with reducing bruising and pain. Power assisted liposuction is utilized to further liquefy the fat and aide the surgical suctioning.
Typical areas that are treated by liposuction include the abdomen and waist, the thighs, chest area, back and love handles, hips and buttocks, and the neck and chin. The procedure is done under anesthesia with the patient utilizing a compression garment post operatively to reduce swelling and bruising. Final results usually take 3-5 months to appear.
