Body Contouring Liposuction Fort Lauderdale, FL | Essie Kueberuwa Yates MD

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to address stubborn fat deposits, creating a more contoured and sculpted body silhouette. Typical treatment areas include the abdomen, waist, back, flanks, thighs, lateral breast, and chin.

Procedure Characteristics

• Tiny incisions less than 1cm
• Strategically hidden in natural body creases
• Often combined with complementary surgical procedures

Candidate Evaluation for Liposuction

Ideal candidates for liposuction maintain a stable, normal weight and possess good skin elasticity. The procedure targets localized fat deposits and is not a weight-loss method, but a body contouring technique.

Key Candidacy Requirements

• Stable weight for 6-8 months
• Elastic, healthy skin
• Realistic expectations about body contouring

Liposuction Technique and Approach

Dr. Yates performs liposuction using local or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure's complexity. A specialized cannula is inserted through small incisions to dislodge and suction targeted fat deposits, creating refined body contours.

Procedure Highlights

• Precise fat removal technique
• Minimal surgical intervention
• Customized treatment plans

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically involves minimal downtime, with many patients resuming daily activities within days. Compression garments are recommended for six weeks, and complete results may take up to three months to fully manifest.

Post-Procedure Recommendations

• Wear compression garments
• Maintain stable weight
• Follow surgeon's post-operative instructions
