Liposuction
We are not currecntly performing this procedure but starting in the summer we will be resuming our liposuction services upon the addition of a new, experienced provider to our staff.
Liposuction today is a safe, outpatient procedure that highly gratifies both patients and physicians. The procedure is performed through tiny incisions, under only local anesthesia, using the smallest instruments possible. Blood loss is minimal and results have never been better. While the ideal candidate is one with residual fat deposits despite diet and exercise, most people can see notable results.

"I am very happy and surprised at how simply it was to resolve a problem that had bothered me for over 20 years."
A.D.
All fat pockets from neck to ankles can be easily removed and re-sculpted. Recovery is very fast, and most patients return to their daily routine within 24-48 hours, and to exercise within a week.

A.N.
Can the fat come back?
Fat cells enlarge with weight gain. After liposuction, most fat cells are removed permanently. Any significant weight gain would usually result in enlargements of untreated areas.

How can I maintain result?
It is very important that all patients considering liposuction be on a combination of diet and exercise before the procedure in order to have good results. This is even more important after the procedure.

Can the removed fat be used to enhance other body areas?
Yes. Facial folds, scars, and dimples can be corrected using your own fat.

The procedure was so much easier than I had expected.
N.K.
What should I expect after the procedure?
There is minimal pain or discomfort post-operatively. Drainage from suction sites continues for approximately 2-3 days and then ceases. These sites heal with minimal scarring and are usually hidden in natural folds. Minor swelling may persist for up to 2-3 months after which one can expect to see the final sculptured result.
