Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction, also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, is a powerful body and neck sculpting technique. This advanced procedure enables targeted removal of stubborn fat deposits from various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, neck, and legs.

Key Liposuction Characteristics

  • Minimally invasive surgical technique
  • Precise body contouring method
  • Targets localized fat deposits
  • Uses small cannulas through minimal incisions

Liposuction Procedure Benefits

Liposuction offers numerous advantages for patients seeking body sculpting solutions. Unlike non-surgical fat reduction methods, this procedure provides predictable and permanent fat removal with minimal scarring.

Procedure Advantages

  • Powerful and predictable fat reduction
  • Limited surgical scarring
  • Minimal tissue disruption
  • Quick recovery period

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The most suitable liposuction candidates are individuals in good overall health with a body mass index (BMI) under 30. Patients should have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, and realistic expectations about body contouring results.

Candidacy Considerations

  • Generally healthy individuals
  • Close to ideal body weight
  • Stubborn fat areas unresponsive to traditional weight loss methods
  • Non-smokers

Dr. Sullivan is fantastic! Wonderful manner, personable, answered all my questions, and explained what he was going to be doing. I had a keloid on my ear lobe excised--completely painless procedure. I felt totally at ease, confident that I was in the right hands. Add to that, the exceptional service and communication by the staff at Taylor & Sullivan. I can recommend Dr. Sullivan without any reservations. An exceptional experience!

Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Taylor are the ONLY plastic surgeons I will allow to touch my face. Dr. Sullivan is an amazing doctor with incredible talent, an amazing personality and a really great sense of humor. He explains things in great detail and lets you know everything will be fine and exactly what you can expect. He and Dr. Taylor work in tandem and the results are nothing short of mind blowing. If you’re considering getting cosmetic surgery, Taylor & Sullivan is the team you should check with first.

I have had nothing but the best experience with my surgery with Dr. Stephen R. Sullivan and his staff. He was kind, patient and extremely informative. I left my consultation appointment confident in moving forward with the surgery. I had considered this surgery for over 10 years and finally decided to look into it more. I researched locations and Doctor's all over Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts before finding Taylor Sullivan Plastic Surgery online. The surgery went smooth and so did the recovery. I am 15 days post surgery and feeling great! I had minimal discomfort for the first 3 days post surgery and have been discomfort-free ever since. I can honestly say I was never in "pain" and was pleasantly surprised as I have never had any type of surgery prior to this and did not know what to expect from my own body. I highly recommend Dr. Sullivan! I wish I had done this years ago! 3-year post surgery update: I am still feeling great and have had no complications or issues with my implants. The healing process was incredibly fast. I have the thinnest scars that are each approximately 2" long. The incision was so perfectly placed that it isn't noticeable unless I lift and look for them. I still highly recommend Dr. Sullivan and his staff!
