The Best in Body Contouring
Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet, nor is it useful for generalized weight reduction – it selectively removes fat only from specific areas. The goal of the operation is always contouring of the treated body areas. When only one or two small areas are treated, local anesthesia may be used. When multiple or large areas are treated, IV sedation or general anesthesia is usually administered.
During liposuction, fat can be taken from one area of the body and repositioned in another area to improve contour in that second area, a process that is often referred to as fat injection or grafting. Fat is typically transferred to areas of volume loss such as the lower face and to the lips. In some cases areas where folds or creases develop are filled with fat from another area.
