Advanced Liposuction in Winston-Salem, NY | Hampton A. Howell, MD

Understanding Liposuction Body Contouring

Liposuction is a precision surgical technique designed to sculpt the body by removing stubborn fat deposits from specific areas that have not responded to traditional diet and exercise. The procedure targets multiple body regions, including the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, knees, chin, cheeks, neck, and upper arms.

Procedure Techniques

Hampton A. Howell, MD utilizes multiple advanced liposuction methods to ensure optimal patient results:

• Tumescent Liposuction: Uses fluid injection to facilitate fat removal
• Super-Wet Technique: Reduces blood loss and provides anesthesia
• Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Precisely liquefies fat using ultrasonic energy
• SmartLipo: Advanced laser-assisted fat removal

Surgical Procedure Details

The liposuction process involves making a small, strategically placed incision. A specialized cannula (thin tube) is then inserted beneath the skin, carefully breaking up and suctioning targeted fat layers. Local or general anesthesia is administered, with procedure duration ranging from one to five hours depending on the treatment area.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a structured recovery process following liposuction. Compression garments are used to support healing, and most individuals can return to work within a few days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately one month.

• Initial results are visible immediately
• Continued improvement occurs as swelling subsides
• Minimal, inconspicuous scarring
• Potential for slight skin texture variations

Potential Considerations

While liposuction provides remarkable body contouring results, patients should be aware of potential aesthetic irregularities, including temporary numbness, skin pigmentation changes, and minor asymmetries.
