Even though they exercise and eat sensibly, many of my patients still have stubborn fat pockets that just won’t go away. That’s often when I suggest liposuction. Liposuction can reduce even the most resistant fat deposits, giving you a trim, toned, curvy body you can confidently feel good about.

Not only can liposuction dramatically change your shape, it can also change the way you feel about yourself and motivate you to live a healthier lifestyle. In fact, many of my patients use liposuction as a starting point to change their lives for the better, especially now at the beginning of a new year. For people who want to be healthy, look better and feel their best, liposuction is a great way to get started. To learn more about the range of body enhancing procedures I offer, click here.
Liposuction is a great way to reduce fat as long as you maintain your weight
Since fat cells do not reproduce, once they are extracted through liposuction, they will not be replaced. For all patients but particularly very large ones, liposuction can bring about a profound change to their bodies by taking away substantial volumes of fat. If you do gain weight after the procedure, it usually will not concentrate in the area that was treated.
Dramatically improve many areas of your body with liposuction
Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body, including:
- cheeks, jowls and neck
- upper arms
- breast or chest areas
- back
- abdomen and waist
- hips and buttocks
- inner and outer thighs
- inner knees
- calves and ankles
Three highly-advanced liposuction techniques to choose from
With new techniques and advancements in technology, plastic surgeons are able to achieve better, more natural-looking results with liposuction, making it today’s most popular cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Here are the three most commonly-used procedures which I will personally discuss with you and together, we will choose the one that’s best for you.
-
Tumescent (traditional) liposuction
With this technique, a small, hollow tube (cannula) is inserted through one or more tiny incisions near the area to be suctioned. Fat is suctioned out through this tube as a plastic surgeon moves it around under the skin to target specific fat deposits, vacuuming away the unwanted fat.
-
Laser-assisted liposuction (SmartLipo)
Using laser technology, SmartLipo uses a thin laser fiber to liquefy fat by producing a burst of energy as the laser enters the fatty tissue. Laser-assisted liposuction also stimulates collagen production in the skin, which may offer additional skin-tightening benefits.
-
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
This technique uses ultrasound to liquefy the fat, which makes it easier to extract. This technique may be particularly helpful in reducing fat from the upper abdomen, sides and back.
Liposuction can be performed along with other plastic surgery procedures
Liposuction can successfully be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as a facelift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck or lower body lift. If you're interested in reducing fat throughout your entire body, this will likely take multiple procedures.
