Return To The Procedures

Feel like you've tried all you can to get fit, but still struggling with a saggy, fatty, unattractive body area? Well, friend... you're a liposuction candidate!

Liposuction surgically removes fat cells from particularly concentrated areas.. This is usually fat that doesn't respond to fitness or dietary routines. Common areas of treatment include hips, thighs, abdomen, arms, neck, knees, and ankles.

The Procedure:
A hollow, cylindrical tool called a cannula is inserted under the skin in the area of treatment. Cannulas come in varying diameters for different body areas, body types, and volumes of fat being removed. At the opposing end of the cannula is a vacuum-like machine that removes the fat. At the end of the procedure, surgeons can apply a foam that alleviates skin expansion and bruising, which almost always promises better results.

Patients who aren't the "ideal," mostly fit, candidates for traditional liposuction surgery should not shy away from pursuing the procedure. We can most certainly talk to overweight patients about their options as well.

Liposuction is usually performed on an outpatient basis, under general or local anesthesia, in Premiere's private operating room.

Post Procedure:
Normal routines such as a work schedule can usually be resumed in 1-2 weeks. It should be 2-4 weeks before anything more strenuous is attempted, and it's usually around 6 months or more before bruising and swelling are completely gone.

As long as you continue a routine of healthy eating and regular exercise, the results of liposuction are permanent!

Costs:
Can vary based on area of body being treated and volume of fat being removed.
