Liposuction

Body Shaping: Abdominal Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn pockets of fat from various areas of the body, helping patients achieve a more sculpted and contoured physique. This surgical technique targets localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, allowing for precise fat removal and body reshaping.

If you’re struggling with stubborn fat deposits that won’t budge despite your best efforts, liposuction may be the solution you’ve been seeking. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Sara R. Dickie to discuss your goals, concerns, and personalized treatment plan. With her expertise and commitment to patient satisfaction, you can achieve the slimmer, more sculpted physique you desire and regain your confidence.

The Basics

During a liposuction procedure, small incisions are made in the targeted area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin. The cannula is connected to a vacuum device or syringe, which suctions out excess fat cells, sculpting the desired contours.

Liposuction can be performed on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, back, and chin. It is often combined with other cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks or breast augmentation to achieve comprehensive body contouring results.

Benefits of Liposuction:

  • Fat Reduction: Liposuction effectively removes unwanted fat deposits, slimming and reshaping specific areas of the body.
  • Improved Body Proportions: By targeting localized fat pockets, liposuction can enhance body proportions and create a more balanced and harmonious physique.
  • Enhanced Definition: Liposuction can reveal underlying muscle definition and contours that may be obscured by excess fat, resulting in a more toned and sculpted appearance.
  • Boosted Confidence: Patients often experience increased confidence and satisfaction with their appearance following liposuction, leading to a more positive self-image.

Who is a good candidate?

Liposuction may be suitable for individuals who:

  • Have Stubborn Fat Deposits: Candidates should have localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise efforts.
  • Are in Good Overall Health: Good candidates for liposuction are generally in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
  • Maintain a Stable Weight: Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure. Candidates should be at or near their ideal weight and maintain a stable weight following surgery.
  • Have Elastic Skin: Candidates with good skin elasticity are more likely to achieve smooth and natural-looking results following liposuction.
