Liposuction

Liposuction procedures, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures being performed today. Liposuction procedures can remove that extra bulge, fat and body mass that just never seems to go away, regardless of dieting and exercise. Fatty deposits in the hip, waist, and thigh area can be one of the most difficult issues to resolve from a non-surgical perspective, due in large part that these areas generally do not respond well to diet and exercise alone.

Liposuction services can help dramatically sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, such as the stomach, hips, buttocks area, thighs, arms, chin, cheeks and surrounding neck area. Over the years, liposuction, which is also commonly known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy,” has benefited from several new technologies and refinements. Today, a number of new and innovative techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, along with the super-wet technique, are helping many surgeons, provide patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. In short, liposuction services work well when traditional weight-loss and dieting methods don’t.

Liposuction is however not a form of weight loss surgery. It is more for contouring and achieving the desired figure that diet and exercise has not been able to accomplish. The procedure is performed as an outpatient and involves very small incisions made in well hidden areas of the body. A cannula is inserted to infiltrate the tissue with tumescent fluid to help improve postoperative pain control and bruising. Afterwards, a hollow cannula is inserted and fat is removed. The fat can be removed by traditional method called Suction Assisted Lipectomy (SAL) or by Power Assisted Lipectomy (PAL). Dr. Esmailian performs both types of procedures and will discuss with you which procedure is best for you and the area you desire to improve.

Notable features of liposuction service are as follows:

• Safe, highly effective and proven techniques

• Broad range of techniques available, such as the Tumescent technique and the Ultrasonic technique for liposuction services

• Short down time and quick recovery
