Advanced Body Contouring Liposuction | Paradise Valley, AZ | Ashley L. Howarth, MD Plastic Surgery

Understanding Liposuction in Paradise Valley

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove targeted areas of fat, improving the body's shape and contour. While diet and exercise are essential for overall health, they often cannot eliminate stubborn fat deposits that persist due to genetics or individual body composition.

What is Liposuction?

As the second most popular cosmetic surgical procedure, liposuction is a precise method of slimming and reshaping the body by removing excess fat deposits. The procedure targets specific areas including:

• Thighs
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Abdomen
• Waist
• Arms

Liposuction Techniques

Dr. Ashley Howarth utilizes three advanced liposuction techniques to customize body contouring:

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

Employs a precise, vibrating vacuum cannula that gently removes fatty tissue, minimizing post-operative bruising and swelling.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

Utilizes ultrasound energy to break up fat in dense areas, selected based on specific clinical indications.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL)

Uses laser technology to liquefy fatty deposits before removal, determined by clinical and surgical considerations.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction in Paradise Valley

An ideal liposuction candidate should be in good overall health and maintain a stable weight. The procedure removes existing fat in problem areas but does not prevent future weight gain.

Consultation and Personalized Treatment

During your consultation, Dr. Howarth will conduct a comprehensive assessment, review your medical history, and develop a personalized liposuction plan tailored to your body contouring goals.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from liposuction is typically comfortable, with most patients returning to normal routines within a few days. Patients can expect localized bruising, swelling, and soreness, with results becoming visible as swelling decreases.
