Enhancing the Contours of Your Body with Liposuction

 

Some stubborn areas of fat like love handles, thighs, abdomen, back and flanks can be hard to lose, even with a strict diet and exercise routine. If you’ve been struggling with localized pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction could be the solution.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction in Glastonbury, CTLiposuction slims and reshapes these targeted areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, giving you the body contours you desire.

One of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S., liposuction can help you reshape your body. It is an effective way to remove areas of excess fat on the body that diet and exercise simply will not solve. Liposuction gives you the body you want so you can feel more confident.

Dr. Beam uses tumescent liposuction to deliver optimal, lasting results. First, a lidocaine and epinephrine based solution is injected into the area to reduce pain and swelling. Then, tiny incisions are made where fat can be removed. A thin tube called a cannula is used to gently suction the fat from the body.

Tumescent liposuction benefits patients with a shorter recovery time than ever before and minimal scarring, making it one of the safest and most effective liposuction options.

Who Can Benefit from Liposuction?

Men and women alike have experienced great results by having unwanted fat pockets removed in this manner. Patients who are in generally good health and who are within 25 pounds of their ideal body weight are considered good candidates for this procedure.

Liposuction can be performed as a stand-alone procedure, or it can be combined with another procedure, such as a tummy tuck.

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and is not a replacement for diet and exercise.

The results of liposuction are long-lasting. They should continue as long as you control your weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Any significant weight gain can reverse your results so it is important to live a healthy, active life.
