Fat Reduction Liposuction Fort Wayne, IN | Dr. Matthew E. Shambaugh, MD

Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction is a targeted surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat cells from specific body areas. The procedure can address fat deposits in multiple regions, including the chin, neck, abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and knees.

Procedure Methodology

Summit Plastic Surgery employs the tumescent liposuction method, which offers significant advantages such as:

• Minimal blood loss
• Reduced bruising
• Decreased patient discomfort

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The ideal liposuction candidate is near their ideal body weight with localized fat deposits. The procedure focuses on body contouring and proportion improvement, not overall weight loss.

Important Considerations

• Not a weight loss solution
• Not a replacement for exercise
• Requires good skin elasticity

Recovery and Results

Patients typically require approximately one week off work following the procedure. A compression garment must be worn for four to six weeks to manage swelling and support healing. Results continue to improve over several months as post-surgical swelling subsides.

Long-Term Outcome

With consistent healthy diet and exercise, liposuction results can be maintained long-term. Fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, providing enduring body contouring benefits.
