What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body to create a slimmer, more contoured appearance. It is commonly used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin, helping to sculpt and enhance the body's natural shape. At Tallahassee Plastic Surgery Clinic, our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced liposuction techniques to target stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. The procedure is minimally invasive, with small incisions made to remove fat through a suctioning process, leaving patients with a more toned and balanced physique. Liposuction offers lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle, making it an effective option for achieving your aesthetic goals.

How Is Liposuction Performed?
Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the area being treated and your particular preferences. One of our plastic surgeons will begin by making small, discreet incisions near the targeted area where fat removal is needed. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted through the incisions, and suction is used to carefully break up and remove excess fat. The fat is either suctioned out or, in some cases, broken down with laser technology before being extracted. After the fat is removed, the incisions are closed, and the area is bandaged to promote healing. The procedure typically takes one to several hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. You will likely be able to return home the same day.

Dr. Rawlings did my liposuction on my hips and thighs. I am very pleased with the results, my skin is very smooth and it even decreased my dimples from cellulite.
