Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Sculpting

Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized areas of stubborn body fat. Utilizing a thin, hollow tube called a cannula, Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery carefully extracts excess fat through extremely small incisions, creating a more contoured and proportionate body shape.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The optimal liposuction candidate is an individual in good overall health who has specific fat deposits that remain unresponsive to traditional diet and exercise methods. Common treatment areas include:

• Thighs
• Abdomen
• Arms
• Back
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Chest
• Face
• Calves
• Ankles

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery employs sophisticated liposuction methods, with tumescent liposuction being the most common technique. This approach involves injecting a specialized solution containing saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine to minimize blood loss and facilitate smoother fat removal.

Innovative Procedure Options

• Tumescent Liposuction: Minimizes general anesthesia requirements
• Laser-Assisted Technique: Liquefies fat for easier extraction
• Ultrasound-Assisted Method: Uses energy to break down fat cells

Recovery and Results

Patients can typically return to regular activities within a few days following the procedure. Mild swelling and bruising are common, managed through compression garments. Complete results become visible as swelling subsides, usually within a few months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While liposuction is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Skin irregularities
• Asymmetry
• Potential need for additional skin removal procedures
