Liposuction:

Liposuction is designed to reduce isolated pockets of fat in the body, which can cause these areas to appear out of proportion to the rest of the figure. It can be performed on most parts of the body, including the neck, breasts, abdomen, flanks, back, inner arms, thighs, knees and ankles. The procedure removes fat through several small incisions, and has the advantage of leaving minimal scars. Best results will be obtained if the skin has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. As such, liposuction alone is best indicated in areas of the body with good skin tone. Areas with poor skin tone or excessive skin are often best treated using a combination of liposuction and skin removal. The results of liposuction are permanent, provided that a stable weight is maintained. However, liposuction should not be considered a substitute for overall weight loss, and is not an effective treatment for cellulite, or dimpled skin.

Liposuction is a safe, reliable and effective treatment, which is commonly performed on many thousands of patients each year. Complications are uncommon, but Dr. Silverman will discuss these with you and assess your suitability for the procedure during your initial consultation.
