Body Contouring Liposuction Milford, CT | Petrazzuoli Marco MD

Understanding Liposuction Body Contouring

Dieting and exercising can help shed unwanted pounds, but stubborn fat deposits often remain resistant to traditional weight loss methods. Liposuction treatment offers an effective way to target and remove specific fat pockets, helping patients achieve more refined body contours.

Liposuction Procedure Overview

Liposuction can address excess fat in multiple body areas, including:

• Trunk
• Arms
• Legs
• Neck

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves carefully infusing a specialized solution into targeted fat pockets, followed by precise fat aspiration. Small incisions are strategically placed in natural body fold lines, ensuring minimal visible scarring. Patients can choose between general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-procedure, patients wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days, managing minor discomfort with over-the-counter pain medication and prescribed antibiotics.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is best suited for healthy individuals seeking body contouring. Important considerations include maintaining realistic expectations and understanding that the procedure complements—but does not replace—healthy diet and exercise.

Procedure Limitations

Patients should understand that liposuction cannot:

• Remove excess skin after significant weight loss
• Eliminate cellulite
• Serve as a primary weight loss method
