Understanding Liposuction: Advanced Body Contouring Technique

Liposuction, commonly referred to as lipo, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove hard-to-lose fat deposits that remain resistant to diet and exercise. This body shaping technique can target multiple body areas including hips, stomach, thighs, buttocks, back, chest, arms, and chin.

Liposuction Procedure Methods

Sterling Plastic Surgery offers multiple liposuction techniques tailored to patient needs:

• Tumescent Liposuction: Involves injecting a sterile solution to facilitate fat removal
• Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Realistic Expectations for Body Contouring

Liposuction provides subtle body shape alterations by removing unwanted fat pockets like "muffin tops", "love handles", and "saddlebags". Patients should understand this procedure is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring method.
