Liposuction

Did you know that liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States? It's true, flat stomachs, tighter thighs, and buns of steel are not all acquired in the gym, but found in a cosmetic surgery suite. According to the Society for Dermatologic Surgery, over 500,000 liposuction procedures are performed each year in the United States alone.

In a nutshell, liposuction removes fat from specifically targeted areas of the body thus creating a more desired shape. Liposuction is most often used for the following areas:

• Thighs

• Abdomen

• Buttocks

• Hips

• Thighs

• Calves

• Arms

• Back

Cosmetic surgeons use a variety of liposuction techniques as well that include:

• Tumescent technique - is where your physician injects a large volume of anesthetic-containing fluid into the areas containing fat, which causes the fatty tissue to swell up and harden, then it is removed through a small tube or cannula.

• Super-wet technique - is similar to the tumescent technique except that it uses less fluid.

• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction - uses a unique cannula that has a rapid vibration and gives off ultrasound energy. As the energy passes through the fat cells, it liquefies them, then they are suctioned off.

• Laser liposuction - with all of the advances in laser technology, laser assisted liposuction is now available.

There are numerous cosmetic surgeons in your area who can assist you with your cosmetic surgery needs whether it's liposuction or another procedure that you would like to have done, schedule a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon in your area today.
