Advanced Body Contouring Liposuction Philadelphia, PA | Scott P. Bartlett, M.D.

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is an advanced surgical technique designed to remove excess fat deposits from targeted body areas. This precise procedure allows for significant improvement in body contour and proportion through strategic fat removal.

Target Areas for Liposuction

Dr. Bartlett performs liposuction on multiple body regions, including:

• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Waist
• Abdomen
• Upper arms
• Back
• Inner knee
• Chest
• Calves

Comprehensive Liposuction Technique

The liposuction procedure involves a sophisticated approach to fat removal. Dr. Bartlett first administers diluted local anesthetic through a tumescence solution, which minimizes bleeding and surgical trauma. A thin, hollow cannula is then carefully inserted through small skin incisions.

Surgical Precision

Using controlled, strategic back-and-forth motions, the cannula dislodges targeted fat cells, which are subsequently suctioned out using a surgical vacuum. Most patients remain alert during the procedure and can return home the same day.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The most suitable candidates for liposuction are healthy non-smokers who are close to their ideal body weight but have specific areas of stubborn fat accumulation. Patients should understand that skin excess might require additional procedures for optimal results.

Important Considerations

While liposuction effectively removes fat deposits, it is not a weight-loss solution. The procedure is most successful when performed on individuals with good skin elasticity and localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
