Liposuction

Sculpt Your Body

If you have areas of excess fat deposits that won’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can be an ideal alternative to improve the contour of your body. As the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the country, liposuction can actually reduce and reshape the size of a particular area. Liposuction works because it not only removes unwanted fat; it also removes the cells that store fat. If you maintain your current weight and level of exercise, there is no reason to expect that you will regain fat in these troublesome areas. Some of the most frequent areas treated by liposuction for both men and women are the cheeks, chin, neck, back of the arms, pectoral areas, abdomen, “love handles,” hips, thighs, inner knee, calves, ankles and buttocks. Liposuction is not a weight reduction treatment, but a method of reshaping and contouring areas of the body that are disproportionate. Because liposuction produces such immediate and visible results, the procedure has gained popularity among both men and women. For liposuction in New Jersey contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Liposuction safe?
Liposuction is a safe procedure as long as the you carefully select the operating facility. The facility must be clean and properly equipped and the doctor must be highly trained. All surgery does carry some degree of risk. Your doctor will go over all the possible risks and complications with you during your consultation.

How long will my recovery take?
After liposuction, a compression garment or girdle may be worn for several weeks to minimize swelling and to help tighten your skin around your new, slimmer figure. Healing is gradual and you will begin to see a noticeable difference in your body shortly after surgery. How quickly you are able to resume normal activates will depend on the amount of liposuction that is performed, your individual body type and current health.

Are the results of Liposuction permanent?
Once the fat is removed, it should not come back. However, liposuction will not prevent you from gaining weight due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Make sure you eat healthy and exercise regularly to help avoid gaining unwanted fat. For liposuction in New Jersey contact us today.

How is Liposuction performed?
Liposuction is a safe procedure with a low complication rate. Liposuction can be performed with traditional, tumescent or ultrasonic (UAL) techniques. The procedure involves a small incision and inserting a hollow tube, called a cannula. Fluid may be added to reduce bleeding and discomfort. Using a back and forth motion with the cannula, excess fat is suctioned and collected in a canister where it is measured. Post-operative recovery is relatively quick, but bruising and swelling can remain for 2-4 weeks. If following surgery, you maintain a healthy lifestyle (including a sensible diet), perform moderate exercise and maintain your weight, excellent long-term results are expected.

Traditional - Traditional liposuction is used for sculpting smaller amounts of fat tissue. In traditional liposuction, fat is removed using a blunt tube with one or more holes near the end. High vacuum is applied to the tube drawing out the fat.

Tumescent - Tumescent liposuction refers to the performance of liposuction using large volumes of a dilute solution of lidocaine and adrenaline, which temporarily shrinks capillaries and provides excellent pain control during the procedure. This is comfortably performed with various sedation methods. Tumescent liposuction is ideal for most areas of concern.

UAL - Ultrasonic liposuction, or Ultrasound Assisted Lipoplasty, is a liposuction technique during which the fatty tissue is removed with the assistance of sound waves that liquefy the fat before it is removed. The ultrasonic energy is targeted to fat cells and creates less damage to other tissues such as nerves, blood vessels and muscles.
