Liposuction in Tampa

Liposuction is a relatively new procedure in medicine developed in the 1970’s, but it currently ranks as the #1 sought after cosmetic procedure over the past few years. The reason it is so popular is because it has the ability to selectively slim almost any area to suction and remove fat from between the skin and muscle found on almost every area of the entire body.

Liposuction removes fat in specific areas of the body without a long, complicated recovery. We use a new technique that uses local anesthesia, thus eliminating the risk of complications that are associated with general anesthesia. This procedure is called Tumescent Liposuction and it minimizes the bruises and the risk of bleeding following a liposuction procedure. The best part is that patients can return to their normal activity in 1-2 days.

The most common areas of liposuction include:

• » Abdomen
  » Thighs
  » Waist
  » Hip
  » Arms
  » Neck
• » Cheek/Jowels
  » Buttocks
  » Pubic Mound
  » Breast
  » Back

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

If you are considering a Tummy Tuck in Tampa, Tumescent liposuction is a good option when the primary concern is excess fat, but your skin still has a good tone. When the fat is removed, the normal response of the skin is to contract. The procedure is performed through very small incisions and can have great results for the right person. Tumescent liposuction is much gentler, safer and has little downtime compared to traditional liposuction.

Tampa Liposuction Candidates

The way to know if you are a good candidate for liposuction depends on whether there is enough fat that can be removed from your body along with your overall health. The best candidate for a liposuction procedure in Tampa is someone who has fat that cannot easily be rid of with diet and exercise.

It is very important to mention that liposuction only removes small and localized fat. If you expect to have a drastic change in your appearance, you may be disappointed. The perfect candidate for this procedure is a person with a healthy weight and who is interested only in contouring their body.

People who should not have a liposuction procedure:

• Pregnant woman
• People with health problems
• People who are taking blood thinning medication. If the candidate wants a liposuction she/he must stop taking those medications before and after the surgery.
• People who are allergic to lidocaine, which is the anesthesia that is used for this procedure.
