Body Contouring Liposuction Cincinnati, OH | Dr. Daniel G. Kuy, MD

Liposuction Overview

Liposuction is a sophisticated body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from specific body areas. This advanced surgical technique helps patients achieve their desired body shape by targeting localized fat resistant to traditional diet and exercise.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

The optimal liposuction candidate is an individual who:

• Is close to their ideal body weight
• Has firm, elastic skin
• Possesses localized fat deposits
• Maintains realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction involves creating small incisions and using a narrow tube (cannula) to vacuum away fat layers. The surgeon carefully moves the cannula to break up and remove targeted fat cells.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL)

UAL represents a more precise liposuction method utilizing specialized cannulas that produce ultrasonic energy. This technique liquefies fat cells through longitudinal vibrations, allowing extremely accurate fat removal.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

PAL employs advanced powered systems with cannulas that move 3,000 to 5,000 times per minute. This technique enables more refined body sculpting, particularly in areas with dense fat deposits like breasts, outer thighs, and back.

Anesthesia and Recovery

Depending on the procedure's extent, liposuction may utilize local anesthesia or twilight sedation. Patients typically require 4-7 days of recovery and must wear compression garments to support healing.

Procedure Expectations

Patients can expect minimal scarring and precise fat removal. While liposuction is not a weight loss solution, it effectively addresses stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional weight management strategies.
