What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a popular surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body where diet and exercise have proven ineffective. It's the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in America, known for its ability to target stubborn fat and provide quick results. Dr. Eric Egozi, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been performing liposuction in Clearwater, Florida for over 15 years and is considered one of the area's top specialists.

How Does Liposuction Work?

Liposuction uses a hollow surgical instrument called a cannula, which is inserted under the skin. A high-pressure vacuum is applied to break up and remove fat pockets. Modern techniques have evolved to minimize swelling and bruising during recovery. Dr. Egozi will discuss various liposuction techniques during your consultation to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
