Sculpt Your Body With Precision
Fat Removal
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. During the procedure, small incisions are made in targeted areas, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently break up and suction out excess fat. This technique allows for precise contouring of the body, resulting in smoother, more proportional curves. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body-shaping treatment that enhances your natural figure and boosts overall confidence.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
- Remove stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Sculpt more defined body contours and balanced proportions
- Target multiple areas in a single procedure
- Achieve long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle
- Improve comfort and confidence in clothing and appearance
- Enhance body symmetry for a more natural look
- Boost self-esteem through improved body image
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Liposuction?
If you struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that don’t improve with diet or exercise, you may be a good candidate for liposuction. This procedure aims to contour your body, not replace weight loss, so the ideal candidates are those who are close to their healthy weight but want to achieve better proportions. Dr. Geldwert and Dr. Leong carefully evaluate your overall health, skin elasticity, and treatment goals to ensure liposuction is safe and effective for you.
You may be a candidate for liposuction if:
- You are in good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions
- You maintain a stable weight and are close to your ideal body range
- You have areas of stubborn fat in the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or neck
- You have good skin elasticity to allow smooth contouring after fat removal
- You do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery
- You understand that liposuction enhances shape but is not a weight-loss solution
What Happens During the Liposuction Procedure?
When you undergo liposuction, you’ll first receive general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. After sterilizing the area, small incisions, usually just a few millimeters long, are made near the targeted fat deposits. A specialized fluid known as tumescent solution is then injected, which contains saline, lidocaine (for numbing), and epinephrine (to reduce bleeding). This fluid helps loosen fat cells, making the procedure safer and more efficient. Next, a thin, hollow instrument called a cannula is inserted through the incisions. The cannula is moved back and forth to dislodge fat cells, which are then suctioned out using a vacuum pump or syringe. This technique enables precise body sculpting while protecting surrounding tissues, including muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. The result is a smoother contour and a more proportional, natural-looking silhouette.
What is the Recovery Process Like After Liposuction?
After liposuction, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated areas, which typically improve within the first two weeks. Most patients return to light activities within 5 to 7 days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Compression garments are worn for several weeks to minimize swelling and support healing. While you may notice initial improvements once swelling subsides, your final results appear over 3 to 6 months.
