Body Sculpting

Liposuction, or liposculpture, is a surgical procedure that permanently removes fatty tissue from specific areas of the body. It is particularly useful for areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, knees, thighs, ankles, face and neck.

Using a small instrument called a cannula, fat cells are suctioned out of the area through a small incision. We suggest the performance of liposuction using tumescent anesthesia. This is a technique in which dilute local anesthesia is injected into the area to be treated. Such an approach has reduced the incidence of complications and hastened recovery after allowing patients to return to non-strenuous activities within 48 hours . With proper post-operative care, the patient may recover mobility quickly, which in turn helps to reduce swelling and other post-operative effects.

Results are often seen quickly after surgery and continue to improve over several months. Wearing a specialized garment to keep the swelling compressed, a patient usually returns to normal activities in 3-4 days.
