Body Contouring Liposuction Puyallup, WA | Lynn Chung MD

Understanding Liposuction Body Contouring

Liposuction is an effective body contouring procedure designed for healthy individuals seeking to address persistent fat deposits in specific body areas. Dr. Lynn Chung specializes in removing stubborn fat from trouble spots, helping patients achieve their desired body shape.

Target Areas for Liposuction

Kierney & Chung Plastic Surgery offers liposuction to remove 5 to 10 pounds of fat from various body regions, including:

• Stomach
• Upper arms
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Knees and ankles
• Under the chin

The Liposuction Procedure

The liposuction procedure involves using a hollow, stainless steel instrument called a cannula to remove fat deposits. A small incision is made, and the cannula is carefully guided through tissue to loosen and extract unwanted fat. Advanced techniques minimize bleeding and manage pain through epinephrine and liquid anesthesia.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction works best for patients at a stable weight who desire targeted fat reduction. Dr. Chung emphasizes that the procedure is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring technique. Maintaining a stable weight after the procedure ensures optimal, long-lasting results.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work within a few days following liposuction. While some tenderness is normal, Dr. Chung provides pain management strategies. Patients typically observe initial results as swelling subsides, with final outcomes becoming fully evident around six months post-procedure.
