If you’re fed up with being overweight and need a helping hand to regain control of your body contour, liposuction is one solution to consider. Before joining the thousands of Americans that undergo lipo treatments each year, you must first familiarize yourself with the different possibilities. At Dermatology & Plastic Surgery of Arizona, the very best treatments are available.
Types of Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular type of cosmetic surgery that removes fatty deposits from the body to achieve a slimmer body and a better overall body shape. In addition to people suffering from weight issues, it is used by many fit and healthy patients who simply struggle to get rid of stubborn fat from a specific problem area. The key liposuction treatments offered by. Jamie Moenster at Dermatology & Plastic Surgery of Arizona are as follows:
Liposuction
Traditional liposuction treatments are among the most frequently used cosmetic procedures on the planet. The procedures can be used to remove fatty deposits from an array of body parts. However, the most common areas are the stomach, thighs, buttocks, back, and arms.
The procedure usually takes one to three hours and is completed under local anesthesia. The process involves;
- A small, inconspicuous incision is made near the area of the treatment.
- A thin, hollow tube is inserted into the incision before it is moved back and forth to dislodge the fat.
- The fat is subsequently removed from the body via a specialized surgical vacuum.
VASER Liposuction
Dermatology & Plastic Surgery of Arizona also offers VASER liposuction treatments that use precise technology to remove fat cells with less damage to blood cells or connective tissues. Like traditional liposuction, the VASER method uses a small incision and hollow tube to do this.
However, the extra precision of this FDA-approved procedure can provide a wide range of benefits, including but not limited to;
- Reduce the treatment duration to just one session.
- Cause fewer bruises and less swelling to accelerate your recovery.
- Provide greater contouring opportunities to gain a better body image.
Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction surgery is one of the longest-serving types of cosmetic treatment on the market. When conducted by board-certified plastic and cosmetic practitioners, like the Dermatology & Plastic Surgery of Arizona team, it is a very safe option that is guaranteed to deliver positive results.
Other incentives for choosing liposuction or VASER liposuction over some of the alternatives on the market are;
- Results can be achieved with just one session.
- Once fat cells are removed from the body, they are gone forever.
- Liposuction lets you target a specific part of the body.
- Both treatments are more affordable than ever before.
- The benefits are enjoyed as soon as the recovery period has finished.
