Liposuction
A surgical procedure to remove localized fat deposits and sculpt new
body contours.
Liposuction can help remove impacted fat, specifically those areas that have resided years on end, and are now immune to traditional method of weight control. It can also give you the new body contours you've always wanted. However, it is not a substitute for weight reduction in an obese individual.

Liposuction sculpts hips, thighs, the abdomen and
love handles, knees, ankles and necks. It can also treat large breasts
in men (gynecomastia). Often several areas can be treated during a single
operation.
Your surgeon will mark the areas to be sculpted prior to the surgery.
A small incision is made in the skin. Through this incision the surgeon
will inject a special solution, sometimes called tumescent fluid. It
consists of saline (salt water) and other medicines to help minimize
bleeding, swelling, pain, and provide for easier and more efficient
fat removal. A thin hollow stainless steel tube, called a cannula, is
inserted through this same small incision. The other end is connected
to a vacuum pump machine that suctions the fat and tumescent solution
while the cannula is moved in a back and forth pattern under the skin.
After surgery you'll be sore and will need to wear a special compression
garment to reduce swelling and bruising. The garment will also help
shrink skin to its new contours. The garment should be worn for about
four weeks and is not noticeable under your normal everyday clothes.
Any discomfort can be controlled with pain medication prescribed by
your surgeon.
Recovery is fairly rapid after your surgery. You may return to work
in two to three days and resume your normal exercise routine in two
weeks. The final result of you surgery will be apparent in about six
to eight weeks when most of the swelling is gone.
