Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is a body contouring
procedure. It is not a treatment for generalized obesity,
but is designed to remove those stubborn localized fat deposits
that cannot be dieted away. The areas usual involved are the
hips, lower abdomen, and thighs in women, and for men, “love
handles,” abdomen, and breasts.
The operation is done in an operating room
under intravenous sedation or general
anesthesia. Through small incisions in an inconspicuous
area, I insert thin metal tubes called cannulas, and using
powerful suction, I remove the excess fatty tissue until a
pleasing contour is achieved. At the completion
of the procedure, you will be in an elastic support garment
for comfort and to prevent swelling and bruising. You must
wear this garment for two weeks to insure proper healing.
As with any body image surgery, the desired result depends on maintenance of a healthy life style. This includes good eating habits and balancing your diet with activity.
