Procedures - Liposuction

Liposuction
Do you wish to glamorize your body?  Liposuction removes localized, excess deposits of fat from specific areas of your face, neck and body. Best suited for individuals at or within 30% of their ideal body weight. Creates smoother contours and a better-proportioned figure.


TECHNIQUE: Working through small incisions Dr. Massiha uses a cannula or hollow surgical tube to loosen fat and remove it through attached suction. A solution of saline with added adrenaline and possibly local anesthetic may be infused prior to treatment. Incisions are small, requiring few if any stitches. In ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), sound waves liquefy fat prior to suctioning. Generally performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, with or without sedation.

COMPLEMENTS: In conjunction with a tummy tuck, facelift, neck lift, breast reduction or as the primary technique in female or male breast reduction.

RESULTS: Swelling subsides, bruising fades, initial results appear in 2-4 weeks. Final results appear in 2-6 months. Significant weight gain can cause recurrence of fatty deposits.
