Liposuction Before and After Photos

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most beautiful and truly artistic endeavors a plastic surgeon performs. This very safe and complete procedure reshapes the human form and is thus often referred to as liposculpture or body sculpting. Think of this technique as essentially toning down the edges of the front and sides of the body to create both smoothness and harmony. The youthful physique is defined by a collection of muscular, taut and sleek lines and liposuction serves to reestablish these lines and blend what has become individual cosmetic areas into one even unit.

Liposuction is Safe and Complete

Liposuction is by far the safest procedure a plastic surgeon performs. In all other cosmetic surgeries, like tummy tuck, face lift surgery and breast augmentation, spaces are created under the skin to place an implant or to actually move and tighten skin. These surgeries are also safe but, in doing these other surgeries the blood flow to the skin is temporarily diminished. That is not the case with liposuction because the technique involves the removal of fat from between the blood vessels going up to the skin. Because the blood supply is not interrupted during liposuction, blood flow is preserved. Therefore, liposuction is the safest procedure we do as plastic surgeons.

Liposculpture is also complete in that only a single procedure is required to get patients to their goal. This is in contrast to coolsculpting, laser treatments for fat and other surface treating procedures that may require multiple treatments and might not even completely solve the problem. Liposuction creates beauty and harmony instantly. It takes time for swelling to resolve but the result is one of evenness and smooth lines.

Liposuction can be added to other procedures not only achieve improvement in the suctioned area but also improve the main surgery. For example, since the hips are on either sides of the abdomen (tummy),  suction of the hips allows us to extend our sculpting of the abdomen around the sides to achieve one harmonious result. The suction trims the hips but also blends the tummy with the hips so they are seen to flow one into the other in a seamless fashion, thus creating beauty for the torso.

Body sculpting with modern day liposuction techniques is a highly effective and safe way to improve and bring beauty to your form.
