Advanced Body Contouring Liposuction in Alpharetta, GA | L. Franklyn Elliott, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction: A Comprehensive Body Sculpting Solution

Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Franklyn Elliott has performed liposuction since its introduction to cosmetic surgery in the 1980s. As the third most popular cosmetic procedure according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction offers patients a proven method of precise body contouring.

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Dr. Elliott specializes in tumescent liposuction utilizing a small micro-cannula technique. This advanced approach allows for:

• Smaller surgical incisions
• Precise body contouring
• Predictably successful results
• Reduced surgical complications

Versatile Treatment Areas

Liposuction can effectively target multiple body regions, including:

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Ankles
• Inner knees
• Chin and neck area

Fat Transfer Possibilities

Dr. Elliott also offers innovative fat transfer procedures. By removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, fat can be purified and re-injected into regions such as breasts or face to achieve natural-looking volume enhancement.

Ideal Candidate Considerations

Successful liposuction candidates typically have realistic expectations and understand that the procedure is not a weight loss solution. Ideal patients are non-smokers, near their ideal body weight, with good skin elasticity and muscle tone.

Post-Procedure Expectations

After liposuction, patients can anticipate a more sculpted and proportionate body contour. While fat cells removed during the procedure are permanently eliminated, maintaining results requires a consistent healthy lifestyle.
