Liposuction

How Does Liposuction Work?

Liposuction involves the removal of fat from target areas of the patient’s body with the insertion of a thin sterile, medical tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted and the fat is sucked out.

This will then remove the fat deposits that have yet to respond to diet or exercise. It can be used to target the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, chest areas, and more.

Tumescent liposuction

The Tumescent method is less invasive, patients experience less recovery time, and virtually no discomfort, all without the risk of general anesthesia. Dr. Joel Schlessinger has performed thousands of these procedures with excellent results.

Who Is in Need of Liposuction?

Patients who are having trouble getting rid of those last deposits of fat in certain areas no matter how much they diet or exercise can turn to liposuction. Ideal patients are in good health and should have realistic expectations in terms of results. Patients must be looking for targeted fat reduction rather than overall weight loss.

For those who have recently undergone surgery, there is typically a waiting period required before applying for liposuction. Liposuction is also best when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

Your Consultation

Scheduling a consultation when in need of liposuction will help determine if a patient is suitable for the procedure. The target areas will be examined, and the goals of the patient will also be discussed, along with the details of the liposuction procedure. Finally, a date will be set for the surgery.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

The cost of liposuction will depend on several factors. The number of targeted areas and the extent of the procedure will typically affect prices.
