Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a body-sculpting procedure to remove fat that is unresponsive to diet and exercise. At The Lett Center in Mt. Juliet, TN, Dr. Dwayne Lett offers advanced liposuction techniques to help patients achieve their desired body contours.

Benefits of Liposuction

• Eliminate stubborn fat deposits
• Create a more proportionate figure
• Reduce fat in many body areas including face, neck, abdomen, thighs, arms, hips and buttocks
• Boost self-confidence

How Liposuction Works

During liposuction, a small tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to suction out excess fat cells. The procedure can be performed under general or local anesthesia. Dr. Lett uses advanced techniques like tumescent or ultrasound-assisted liposuction for optimal results with minimal downtime.

Liposuction vs. Non-Surgical Options

While non-surgical treatments like BodyTite can tighten skin and remove some fat, liposuction remains the gold standard for significant fat reduction and body contouring. Dr. Lett may recommend combining liposuction with other procedures for comprehensive results.

Liposuction Recovery

Patients can expect some swelling, bruising and soreness after liposuction. Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling. Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, with final results visible after several months as swelling subsides.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Ideal liposuction candidates are at or near their target weight but have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Lett will evaluate your health, goals and body type to determine if liposuction is right for you.
