Fat Reduction Liposuction Middletown, CT | Dr. Mari Rebane-Mazzotta, MD

Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized areas of body fat using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. By inserting the cannula through extremely small incisions, excess fat is carefully loosened and suctioned out, resulting in slimmer and more contoured body areas.

Key Characteristics of Liposuction

• Targets specific fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Improves body proportion and symmetry
• Not a weight loss method
• Cannot eliminate cellulite or tighten loose skin

Ideal Candidates for Fat Reduction

The optimal liposuction candidate is in good overall health with localized fat deposits that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include thighs, abdomen, arms, back, hips, buttocks, chest, face, calves, and ankles.

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Tumescent liposuction represents a sophisticated approach to fat removal, incorporating saline solution, lidocaine, and epinephrine. This technique minimizes blood loss and eliminates the need for general anesthesia, enhancing patient safety and recovery.

Procedure Overview: What to Expect

During the procedure, a specialized solution is injected to swell and firm targeted tissue, facilitating easier fat removal. Laser or ultrasound assistance may be used to liquefy fat, potentially improving skin tightening in the treated area.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically experience mild swelling and bruising, manageable with compression garments. Most individuals return to regular activities within a few days, with full results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over several months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Possible skin irregularities
• Potential asymmetry
• Rare risk of pigmentation changes

Long-Term Outcomes

Liposuction results are long-lasting when maintained through stable weight and healthy lifestyle practices. Minimal scarring occurs due to the small incisions used during the procedure.
