Advanced Body Contouring Liposuction | Pittsburgh, PA | Raymond A. Capone Jr., MD

Understanding Modern Liposuction in Pittsburgh

Liposuction is currently the most performed aesthetic plastic surgery procedure. This advanced technique removes localized fat deposits that resist traditional diet and exercise approaches. Dr. Raymond A. Capone Jr. has performed liposuction since its introduction to the U.S. market in 1984, bringing 35+ years of specialized experience to each procedure.

Targeted Fat Removal Techniques

Dr. Capone utilizes precise surgical techniques to remove unwanted fat. The procedure involves inserting a specialized metal tube called a cannula through small skin incisions, strategically extracting fat using controlled suction. Patients can potentially use removed fat for additional body contouring procedures like Brazilian Butt Lifts.

Common Liposuction Treatment Areas

• Waist and hip regions
• Abdominal area
• Thighs
• Inner knees
• Upper arms
• Neck and chin

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Successful liposuction candidates typically demonstrate:

• Good overall medical health
• Stable body weight within 30% of ideal weight
• Firm, elastic skin tone
• Realistic expectations about body contouring results

Recovery and Results

Most patients observe 85% of their final results within one month, though complete healing can take up to six months. Wearing provided compression garments helps optimize healing and ensure smooth, natural-looking body contours.

Long-Term Fat Reduction Strategy

Liposuction permanently removes targeted fat cells, potentially creating more balanced future weight distribution. While remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain, the body's fat storage will be more evenly distributed after the procedure.
