If you are bothered by excess fat deposits,
located on your face or body that do not respond to diet
or exercise, liposuction may be an option to consider.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is designed to
slim and reshape specific areas of the body where there
are deposits of fat that may be out of proportion to the
rest of the body.
There are several different techniques used
in liposuction, including tumescent technique, power assisted
liposuction and ultrasound assisted liposuction. Different
areas of the body will require the use of these different
tools. At your initial consultation, Dr. Barber will discuss
in detail which technique is best for you and outline
results that can be expected.
Optimal candidates for this surgery include
those who
are close to their ideal body weight with abnormal
collections of fat that appears out of proportion to the
rest of the body. These areas can include the neck,
upper arms, abdomen, hips, waist, inner and outer thighs
and the knees. For men the most commonly treated areas
are the “love handles” and breasts. The surgery
is done under general anesthesia and is an out-patient
procedure. The incisions for the surgery are very small
and are often hidden from direct view. Give our office
a call and find out what we can do for you.
