Liposuction is an effective technique in helping you achieve
a well-proportioned body with very little scarring. It is a
surgical procedure to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific
areas of the body, including the chin, neck, and cheeks; the
upper arms and above the breasts; the abdomen, buttocks, hips,
and thighs; and the knees, calves, and ankles. During the surgery,
the surgeon
creates a small incision and inserts a cannula,
which is attached to a machine that creates a strong vacuum.
The fat is then broken up and suctioned out. The procedure can
take about an hour or two, however this depends on the area
and amount of fat to be suctioned. Most patients are able to
return to work within four to seven days, once again this depends
on the numbers of areas treated. Liposuction is the most common
cosmetic procedure performed at Cosmetic Surgery Associates,
P.A., with a location in Bethesda, Maryland.
There are several different liposuction
techniques that may be used, either alone or in combination with each other. These
techniques include the tumescent, ultrasonic (UAL) and power
assisted (PAL) liposuction methods. Your surgeon will give you
an understanding of what technique will be used to help achieve
your goals. If you have questions about liposuction or would
