Liposuction in North Denver
This is not a real patient photo. This is an example, and results may vary.
The short answer
Liposuction removes localized fat to change body contour, not to produce weight loss or tighten loose skin. It may suit patients with specific fat deposits and skin quality that can support the planned contour. A consultation at 5280 Plastic Surgery clarifies whether this is appropriate for you, for patients across the Denver metro.
Overview
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, helping to contour and sculpt a more proportionate appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, flanks, arms, and chin.
During liposuction, tiny stab incisions are made, and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out the fat. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time is typically short, and many patients see immediate improvements in their body shape, with long-lasting results as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
