Do you wish to glamorize your body? Liposuction removes localized, excess deposits of fat from specific areas of your face, neck and body. Best suited for individuals at or within 30% of their ideal body weight. Creates smoother contours and a better-proportioned figure.
TECHNIQUE: Working through small incisions Dr. Massiha uses a cannula or hollow surgical tube to loosen fat and remove it through attached suction. A solution of saline with added adrenaline and possibly local anesthetic may be infused prior to treatment. Incisions are small, requiring few if any stitches. In ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), sound waves liquefy fat prior to suctioning. Generally performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, with or without sedation.COMPLEMENTS: In conjunction with a tummy tuck, facelift, neck lift, breast reduction or as the primary technique in female or male breast reduction.
RESULTS: Swelling subsides, bruising fades, initial results appear in 2-4 weeks. Final results appear in 2-6 months. Significant weight gain can cause recurrence of fatty deposits.
