Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Exercise and diet sometimes cannot eliminate stubborn fat deposits. At Williamsburg Plastic Surgery, liposuction offers patients a targeted solution for achieving body contouring goals efficiently and effectively.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits. Using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula, surgeons can precisely extract excess fat through small incisions, creating a more proportionate body silhouette.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The most suitable candidates are individuals in good overall health with specific fat areas resistant to diet and exercise. Treatable areas include:

• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Arms
• Back
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Chest
• Face
• Calves and Ankles

Liposuction Procedure Techniques

Tumescent liposuction is a common technique involving injecting a specialized solution to make fat removal more precise. This method minimizes blood loss and eliminates the need for general anesthesia.

Advanced Approaches

• Laser-assisted liposuction: Liquefies fat and potentially tightens skin
• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: Uses energy to break down fat cells

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild swelling and bruising post-procedure. Compression garments help manage symptoms. Most individuals return to normal activities within a few days, with complete results visible after several months.

Potential Risks

• Skin irregularities
• Potential asymmetry
• Contour inconsistencies
