Understanding Liposuction: Targeted Fat Removal in Fort Wayne

Despite maintaining a proper diet and exercise routine, many individuals struggle with stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional weight loss methods. These genetically predetermined fat pockets can disrupt body proportions and compromise aesthetic goals.

Areas Treatable with Liposuction

Liposuction can effectively address excess fat in multiple body regions, including:

• Stomach
• Buttocks
• Hips
• "Love handles"
• "Saddlebags"
• Thighs
• Calves
• Ankles
• Breasts
• Back
• Arms
• Neck

Procedure Overview for Fort Wayne Patients

During liposuction, fat is removed through a hollow metal tube called a cannula, inserted through minimal incisions. Dr. Lee utilizes advanced techniques like suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) and power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to ensure precise and effective fat removal.

Recovery and Results in Fort Wayne

Patients typically experience a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, with full results developing over 3-6 months. Compression garments are recommended for 4-6 weeks to support healing and minimize swelling.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Candidates should be near their ideal body weight, have good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes. Dr. Lee recommends patients be within 10-15 pounds of their target weight for optimal results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While liposuction is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Infection
• Changes in skin sensation
• Scarring
• Uneven contours
• Potential need for revision procedures
