Liposuction
Liposuction can help Ottawa women and men reduce pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, resulting in smooth body contours. These frustrating areas of excess fat can also cause your body to seem out of proportion. By removing undesired fat, liposuction specialists can permanently streamline your body, making it one of the most popular body contouring options available. Liposuction will provide the most appealing results when performed on areas of the body with good skin tone and elasticity. The result is a smoothly contoured body.

Liposuction Procedure
While not a substitute for weight loss, liposuction can help achieve smooth body contours. It is ideally suited for patients who are relatively close to their ideal body weight, but have localized collections of fatty tissue that are resistant to diet and exercise. These pockets of fatty tissue are often genetically pre-determined, and can be very difficult to remove without surgery. A liposuction treatment in Ottawa performed by Dr. Silverman can address most areas of the body, including:
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Back
- Inner Arms
- Thighs
- Breasts
At Ottawa Plastic Surgery, Dr. Silverman typically performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure. The procedure removes fat through several small incisions, resulting in minimal scars. Dr. Silverman performs the popular tumescent approach, which surgeons have used for many years. He inserts a cannula (small tube) to inject fluid in and around the fat cells, preparing the fatty tissues for liposuction. Dr. Silverman then suctions out the fat, revealing beautiful, sleek body contours.
After the procedure, you will wear a compression garment for the first few weeks to help retain your new shape. Most patients can return to work within a few days to a week following their liposuction. The results of the procedure are long lasting provided that you maintain a stable weight and pattern of exercise.
While liposuction can help achieve smooth and beautiful body contours, it is important to understand that it is not an effective treatment for cellulite or dimpled skin. For those interested in more extensive body contouring, liposuction can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck or a thigh, buttock & arm lift.
During your consultation, Dr. Silverman will help you understand the best procedures for achieving your cosmetic goals.
