When you look in the mirror what do you see? If you are like most all of us, you see a little excess body fat that prevents us from looking our best and from feeling as confident and attractive as we could. There is no question that how feel about ourselves can change everything from what clothes we feel comfortable wearing, to what activities we participate in, and even determine our attitude and self esteem. Is a little stubborn body fat getting between how you look and who you want to be? At Christopher Craft Cosmetic Surgery we want to help you achieve that more slim and attractive figure that you have been yearning for.
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedure performed today. Liposuction/ Liposculpture is a procedure used to improve your body proportions and to improve your shape and contours by removing and reshaping the excess fat trapped beneath your skin.
Liposuction requires a few very small and discreet incisions placed in hidden skin creases allowing us to remove unsightly fat deposits with a fine cannula and high powered surgical vacuum. In our liposculpture procedure we use a tumescent solution that contains medication that helps to reduce postoperative pain as well as to minimize bleeding and bruising. This fluid also helps us to more precisely target the troublesome fat cells that we want to remove. The best candidates for liposuction are patients with a healthy diet and lifestyle, who are already involved in a regular exercise regimen , and who have localized areas fatty deposits that just wont go away with diet and exercise alone. Liposuction is an effective treatment for both women and men, and is commonly performed in areas of the cheeks, jowls, neck, upper arms, breast or chest areas, back, abdomen and waist, hips and buttocks, inner and outer thighs, inner knee, calves and ankles. The long term results of liposuction will be permanent, as long as a healthy diet and lifestyle are maintained. A postoperative compression garment is typically used for 1-2 months after any liposculpture procedure to reduce swelling and help the skin contraction process to optimize the body sculpting process.
Is it safe? Liposuction performed in a certified operating center, using licensed and appropriately trained anesthesiologist, and most importantly with an experienced and fully trained and Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is a safe and effective way to remove the unsightly fat deposits and achieve a more attractive figure. All surgery has associated risks, but choosing the right surgery center and the right surgeon is a crucial first step to a safe and highly satisfying liposuction procedure.
