Body Contouring Liposuction Sarasota, FL | Scott J. Engel, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction in Sarasota

Stubborn fat is a common challenge that many individuals face, particularly as they age. Fat deposits frequently develop in areas like the hips, waist, thighs, and abdomen, often remaining resistant to diet and exercise. These isolated fat pockets can persist even when patients maintain a healthy weight.

Who Benefits from Liposuction?

Liposuction offers a targeted solution for individuals struggling with localized fat deposits. This surgical procedure allows precise fat removal and body silhouette enhancement for men and women throughout the Sarasota region.

Liposuction Technique Overview

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the body by removing excess fat through a small suction device. Key considerations include:

• Not a weight-loss treatment
• Recommended fat removal limit: 10 pounds
• Best for patients near target weight
• Requires good skin elasticity
