BODY CONTOURING • SCULPTING • VOLUME TRANSFER
Liposuction / Liposculpting / Lipotransfer
A procedure known by many, liposuction is a treatment in which fat is removed using very thin cannulas. There are many areas of the body in which fat can safely be removed, including: hips, belly, thighs, buttocks, back, arms, and under the chin.
Results and candidacy vary. We’ll review goals, medical history, and safety considerations at your consultation.
How it works
A refined approach to contour
Comfort & numbing
Depending on the area undergoing liposuction, a local anesthetic may be used to help keep you relaxed and comfortable.
Tumescent solution
A solution of saline and numbing medicine is introduced to help reduce bleeding and support a smoother treatment experience.
Cannula sculpting
A slender instrument (cannula) is placed beneath the skin to gently remove fat and shape the area.
Possible side effects
Can include: allergy to anesthesia, bruising, or changes in skin sensation. Your provider will review risks in detail and explain what’s most relevant for your treatment plan.
