Body Contouring Liposuction in Sterling, MD | James M. Shenko, MD

Introduction to Liposuction

A toned and well-proportioned body represents health and wellness. Despite maintaining a healthy diet, stable weight, and regular exercise, many individuals struggle with localized fat deposits. Liposuction offers a precise solution for slimming and reshaping specific body areas, creating enhanced symmetry and balanced body proportions.

Has specific areas of stubborn, persistent fatty tissue
Demonstrates good skin elasticity and muscle tone

Procedure Details

Liposuction is a surgical technique for permanently removing localized fatty tissue to reshape specific body areas. The procedure involves making small incisions and using a thin metal tube called a cannula to vacuum fatty tissue, creating improved body proportions.

Key Procedure Characteristics

Can be done under light sedation or local anesthesia
Incisions made along natural body creases

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect improved body contours once initial swelling subsides. Most individuals require approximately one week away from work due to swelling and bruising. Results continue to refine over 3-6 months, with long-lasting outcomes maintained through stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits.
