Tallahassee Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck, giving the body a more sculpted appearance.

Good candidates for liposuction include people who eat well and exercise regularly, but are unable to reduce fat in specific, targetable areas of their body. Liposuction is not a cure for obesity, and can actually be detrimental for a person with obesity problems.

Several different methods for liposuction are available, such as the Tumescent, Super-wet, Ultrasonic assisted, and Power assisted. The methods are all relatively similar, and the main differences come into play in the method used to soften or break up the fat prior to removing it from the body.

Though the benefits of liposuction are only cosmetic, it does allow skin to stretch back to its normal shape and regain a more youthful appearance. Liposuction can only be performed on areas of the body which have enough fat already there; removal from areas with too little fat can result in an unbalanced appearance and surgical trauma. Because of the scope of the surgery, the many different parts of the body it can include, and the nuances and details involved, patients will have a consultation session with one of the physicians at Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic. The staff and physicians will work with each patient to map out a plan for the individual’s procedure, and provide the support and care to recover from the surgery. They are available to answer your questions about Tallahassee liposuction procedures.
