SUCTION LIPECTOMY

Liposuction, also called lipoplasty or suction assisted lipectomy, removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of your body. For example, it can slim your hips and thighs, flatten your abdomen, reshape your waist, or eliminate a double chin.

Liposuction is particularly well suited for men and women who have relatively normal weight but isolated areas of fat that cause their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them.

Liposuction is also very popular among men, particularly for eliminating bulging fat around the waist and breast areas.

Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at the same time, and it also can be done in conjunction with other aesthetic plastic surgery.

We have Ultrasonic, Tumescent, Tulip [syringe], and Traditional suction techniques available at the Anderson Plastic Surgery Center.

Dr. Anderson has been performing liposuction surgery for over 20 years and has done several thousand procedures. It is very important to discuss with your surgeon the risks and possible complications of this surgery. Unfortunately, many physicians doing suction surgery at this time do not have adequate training or experience. Be sure to ask about training, experience and results!
