The removal of excess accumulations of fat from specific areas of the body is called liposuction. Refinements over the last decade enable physicians to treat nearly all areas of the body and remove more fat with less trauma. We specialize in the tumescent technique which was developed by a dermatologist.

The tumescent technique has revolutionized liposuction in numerous ways. Most important is increased safety and highly controlled excellent results. The procedure is performed in our own surgery center using local anesthetic allowing us to bypass potential side effects commonly associated with general anesthesia. Local anesthesia also allows for accurate and precise results with very little blood loss.

THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction and body sculpture are ideal for both men and women with localized fat deposits that have resisted reduction by diet and/or exercise. Individuals in generally good health, who consume a balanced, healthy diet and exercise regularly will achieve the best results.

Although Liposuction is a technique for body contour refinement and not a substitute for serious weight loss efforts, it appears that even patients who have trouble losing weight may see great improvement. Liposuction is often the start of a healthy diet and exercise program.
