Liposuction

Plastic Surgery Tampa Bay

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the Unite States. Used alone or in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures, liposuction (also called lipoplasty or suction lipectomy) is a surgical process by which fatty tissue is removed from targeted areas.

Sometimes, regardless of your fitness routine and attention to diet, certain areas may be resistant to toning; and you may be battling inherited physical characteristics.

Liposuction may well be a solution for you, but it is neither a weight loss solution nor a process to alleviate cellulite. 

Like any plastic surgery procedure you should only accept consultation and treatment from a board certified plastic surgeon.

Plastic surgeons employ several different methods including:

• Ultrasound-assisted lipectomy (UAL)
• Suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL)

The process is done by injecting fluid into the area to be treated and then a tiny incision is made in an inconspicuous place to accommodate a small tube (cannula) that breaks up the fat layer and suctions it out.

Liposuction can remove excess fat from your abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck, and upper arms.

Your present medical condition and whether or not you are a smoker play a significant part in your candidacy for liposuction. A thorough evaluation will determine the methodology and the scope of the procedure.

For exquisite fine tuning, liposuction may prove the perfect treatment to attain your ideal body image.
