Liposuction

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

* You have excess subcutaneous fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, and are no more than 20-30 lbs. above your ideal weight for your height. Liposculpture can be useful to shape heavier persons as well, but is not a weight loss technique for treating obesity. Commonly treated areas are the face, neck, upper arms, chest, trunk, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, knees and ankles.

INTENDED RESULT

* An improvement in the contour of the treated areas. You should have a more flattering figure or physique, and your clothing will fit better.

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION

* Dr. Yarinsky's office is the only one in the Capital District using the external ultrasound assisted technique. The procedure is done in Dr. Yarinsky's office facility as an outpatient using local, intravenous or general anesthesia. The external ultrasound technique allows for easier removal of fat and less bleeding. Small suction tubes (cannulas) are inserted through very short incisions placed in inconspicuous locations near the fat deposits and excess fat is removed. The ultrasound treatment helps to tighten your skin like "shrink-wrap" so that your compression garment may be worn for 3-4 weeks instead of 6 weeks. You will experience less postoperative discomfort and bruising, and attain a smoother contour with this new method. The results are better than those seen with standard liposuction.

OTHER OPTIONS

* Additional procedures that may enhance your result and be done at the same time are tummy tuck, breast reduction, breast enlargement, breast lift, thigh lift, or buttock lift. Endermologie treatments starting several weeks after liposuction can dramatically improve the results. We recommend Endermologie treatments for all of our liposuction patients.
