Fat Reduction Liposuction | Ypsilanti, MI | Dr. Richard J. Beil, MD

Understanding Liposuction in Southeastern Michigan

Many individuals from Ann Arbor, Canton, Plymouth, and surrounding southeastern Michigan cities struggle with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction at the Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor offers a strategic solution for patients seeking to slim their body and create a more proportionate silhouette.

Who Can Benefit from Liposuction?

Ideal liposuction candidates are near their ideal body weight with localized fat deposits resistant to traditional weight loss methods. The procedure can effectively target multiple body areas, including:

• Chin and neck
• Upper arms
• Abdomen
• Waist
• Hips
• Thighs
• Flanks
• Inner knees

Liposuction Procedure Details

The liposuction procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation. Small suction tubes (cannulas) are carefully inserted through minimal incisions, strategically placed to remove fat and create a more sculpted body contour.

Benefits and Expectations

Liposuction helps improve body proportions and contours, providing patients with a more flattering physique. However, it's crucial to understand that this is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring technique.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically wear compression garments for 3-6 weeks following the procedure. Initial discomfort can be managed with oral medication, with most bruising and swelling subsiding within 3-4 weeks. Final results become apparent within 3-6 months.

Combined Procedure Options

Liposuction can be effectively combined with complementary procedures such as:

• BodyTite for minimally invasive skin tightening
• Tummy tuck to reduce excess skin
• Mommy Makeover for comprehensive body contouring
• Thigh or arm lifts to address loose skin
