Advanced Liposuction in Anchorage | Jana Cole, MD

Understanding Liposuction Body Contouring

Plastic Surgeons of Alaska offers precision liposuction for patients throughout Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer, and the Mat-Su Valley. Liposuction is a targeted body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and enhance natural body shape.

How Liposuction Works

Utilizing high-power suction and a specialized cannula, liposuction removes targeted fat deposits with minimal invasiveness. The procedure involves carefully moving the cannula to extract fat cells, followed by the application of compression garments to help reshape the body's contours.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

Successful liposuction requires specific patient characteristics, including:

• Good skin elasticity
• Localized fat deposits
• Stable body weight
• Realistic aesthetic expectations

Treatable Body Areas

Liposuction can effectively target multiple body regions, including:

• Double chin
• Upper arms
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Back
• Buttocks
• Inner and outer thighs
• Flanks

Procedure Details

Typically lasting 1-3 hours, liposuction is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. Small incisions are strategically placed in natural body creases to minimize visible scarring. Patients will need to wear compression garments to support optimal healing and contouring.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, liposuction carries potential risks such as infection, numbness, and contour irregularities. Patients are advised to follow pre- and post-operative instructions carefully to minimize complications.
