Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure for the removal of excess fatty tissue in order to reshape body contours.  It can be combined with other surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck or breast reduction. 

Common areas for liposuction are:

• Abdomen and waist
• Back
• Breast or chest area
• Calves and ankles
• Cheeks, chin and neck
• Hips and buttocks
• Inner knees
• Thighs
• Upper arms

All liposuction procedures require a small incision in order for the cannula to be inserted to remove the excess fatty tissue.  Most incisions are so small they do not require any sutures.  When a large amount of fatty tissue is removed a compression garment may be worn to help your skin conform to your new body contours.

If you are healthy, have firm skin, good muscle tone and are within 30% of your ideal weight you may be a good candidate for liposuction.

If you are interested in liposuction call now for your confidential consultation with Dr. Overstreet, a board certified plastic surgeon, to discuss how this procedure can improve your body contours.

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity.
