At our practice, we understand that every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful in her own skin. That’s why we offer liposuction, a procedure designed to help you achieve the body shape you desire.
Liposuction is ideal for those who have good health and a reasonable level of fitness, but still struggle with stubborn fat deposits in specific areas of their body. This procedure can help slim and reshape those areas, improving your body contours and proportions, and enhancing your overall self-image.
For even greater benefits, we offer VASER liposuction and Renuvion technology, which can be performed at the same time as your liposuction procedure. VASER uses ultrasound energy to break up fat cells, resulting in a smoother and more even contour. Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin, further enhancing your results. The benefits of VASER and Renuvion include:
- Precise and targeted fat removal.
- Faster healing time.
- Less bruising and swelling.
- Improved skin tightness and firmness.
- Long-lasting results
- Minimal scarring
- Increased comfort during and after the procedure
Body Contouring (after massive weight loss)
Massive weight loss generally results in redundant, amorphous skin in the trunk, breast, arms and thighs. Following weight reduction surgery, or any substantial amount of weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and cannot conform to the reduced body size. Loose skin can lead to patient dissatisfaction with appearance, along with physiologic problems including intertrigo and skin necrosis. As a result, skin that has been severely stretched now is unsupported:
- Upper arms may sag and appear loose and full
- Breasts may flatten and hang with nipples pointed downward
- Abdominal area may extend around the sides and into the lower back area, resulting in an apron-like overhang
- Buttocks, groin and thighs can sag and cause hanging pockets of skin
Surgical body contouring following major weight loss improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin, and removes excess sagging fat and skin. The result is a more normal appearance to the body, with smoother contours. This is, in essence, the final phase of your total weight loss experience.
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of:
- Thighs
- Hips and buttocks
- Abdomen and waist
- Upper arms
- Back
- Inner knee
- Chest area
- Cheeks, Chin and Neck
- Calves and ankles
In some cases, liposuction is performed alone, in other cases it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.
The VASERlipo®
VASER Liposuction or VASERlipo® utilizes ultrasound energy is a new technique added to traditional liposuction that yields dramatic results. VASERlipo® patients show improved skin retraction, less pain, swelling, downtime, and quicker results.
Renuvion®
Renuvion® is also known as J-Plasma, a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure that uses helium plasma to deliver targeted energy to the treatment area. By combining the precision of helium plasma with the effectiveness of radio frequency energy, Renuvion®/J-Plasma can achieve optimal skin tightening results with less downtime and scarring than traditional surgical procedures.
