Liposuction

Liposuction is a routine procedure designed to eliminate excess fat from problem areas. Men and women who consider liposuction may struggle to achieve the toned physique they desire through diet and exercise. This procedure can custom-contour your body by targeting areas that have unwanted fat accumulations. Liposuction is the most efficient and effective fat removal treatment available.

Thinking About Getting Liposuction?

Effective Fat Removal

Liposuction uses gentle suctioning to remove fat cells from the body. This process permanently eliminates the targeted fat. Other fat-reducing procedures on the market are designed to destroy a portion of fat cells in an area, which the body then absorbs. This process can provide varying degrees of successful fat removal with the risk of inconsistent results.

Slimmer Appearance

Many patients choose liposuction because of the slimming benefits it provides. The accumulation of unwanted fat around the stomach, arms, and neck can contribute to a flabby appearance. Liposuction allows you to choose where you achieve fat removal to ensure the slimmest, most enhanced physique possible.

Toned Appearance

Liposuction is often utilized to achieve a more toned appearance. Fat can obscure the attractive definition that many men and women crave. While it is most commonly used to restore firmness and tone to the abdomen, patients can also undergo liposuction to achieve a more toned arm, thigh, and pectoral appearance. Tailoring your fat removal to your body’s natural contour will help you achieve the best definition possible.

Variety of Treatment Areas

Liposuction can be used to treat a number of areas where excess fat accumulation has prevented you from having the physique you want. It can remove unwanted fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, breasts/chest, arms, and neck. You can choose to treat just one area, or multiple areas can be treated in a single procedure.

Your Liposuction Procedure

Natural Looking

Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure while you are under general anesthesia
Limited incisions are created at the site of fat removal and are typically placed in discreet locations for easier scar concealment
A tumescent fluid is injected into the treatment area to help loosen fat
A small cannula, which helps minimize skin ripping or indentations, is inserted into the incisions
Gentle suction will harvest fat, and Dr. Wald will control the removal process to sculpt and create the best definition possible
Ultrasonic liposuction may be used during your treatment to help eliminate fat cells
Depending on the extent of correction required, the procedure can take an hour or more
Once the procedure is completed, the cannula is removed and your incisions are closed
