Liposuction is a highly effective way to target stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. As a plastic surgeon, I use this versatile procedure to help patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Although liposuction to reshape the abdomen is perhaps the most popular, areas from the thighs to the arms and chin can also benefit from liposuction.
1. Abdomen
Whether you’ve recently had children, lost weight, or simply want a sleeker, more toned look, liposuction on the abdomen can help. By removing fat and smoothing the contours of your waistline, I can create a flatter, more defined abdominal appearance.
2. Flanks (Love Handles)
The flanks, or “love handles,” are another common area for liposuction. This procedure removes the excess fat around your sides and lower back that creates a bulky or uneven shape. By sculpting this area, I can create smoother, more attractive contours that enhance your body’s natural curves.
3. Hips
Liposuction on the hips is perfect for patients seeking a better balance between their upper and lower body. By removing localized fat pockets, I can improve your overall body shape and give you a smoother, more sculpted look. People often combine hip liposuction with other procedures, such as abdominal or thigh liposuction or even a tummy tuck, for comprehensive results.
4. Thighs
Liposuction is effective for the inner and outer thighs, as well as the front and back of the legs. I can help you achieve a more proportional and streamlined appearance by targeting these areas. Thigh liposuction can be life-changing for those who have tried everything to slim this stubborn area.
5. Arms
Many patients find it difficult to tone this area even with regular exercise. Arm liposuction allows me to remove stubborn fat and give the arms a leaner, more sculpted appearance so you can feel confident wearing sleeveless tops again.
6. Chin and Neck
Chin liposuction, or liposuction for a double chin, is ideal to eliminate excess fat around the neck and jawline. This area is often among the first to show signs of aging or weight gain. By removing the fat and contouring the neck, I can create a more defined profile that enhances your overall appearance.
Types of Liposuction I Offer
I offer 3 liposuction techniques, each designed to meet different needs and goals. Here’s a quick overview of what each method involves:
- Traditional Liposuction: The most common technique, tumescent liposuction uses a thin tube (cannula) to remove fat from the targeted areas manually.
- Smartlipo®: A laser-assisted method, Smartlipo “melts” fat before removal and helps tighten the skin.
- VASER® Liposuction: This technique uses ultrasound technology to break up fat cells, allowing for more precise fat removal and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Each option is tailored to provide the best results based on your unique goals and body type. During your consultation, I’ll recommend which method is right for you.
