Are you a candicate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is a unique surgical procedure that removes targeted areas of fat permanently. The procedure was originally developed in the 1970’s by Dr. Illouz in France and has become one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgical requests worldwide.

It has become so popular because it removes problem areas of fat that are resistant to weight loss and exercise. We are all born with a tendency to store fat in specific areas – for some it’s in the hips, for others tummy or thighs. Regardless, liposuction is a method to permanently change body contour in a way that simply cannot be done any other way.
Liposuction has been performed for decades, and so has stood the test of time. It is not a fad, but rather a mainstay of our surgical approach to body contouring.

I am often asked if liposuction is safe. The answer is yes – there is nothing uniquely risky about liposuction. Remember though, it is a surgical operation, usually performed under a general anesthetic and requiring appropriate patient care before, during and after surgery. Inappropriate care will needlessly increase the risks of any operation. I really believe that anyone performing liposuction should have formal surgical training to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for patients.

All of the staff at my private clinic, the Cosmetic Surgery Institute, are fully trained and qualified. As a Plastic Surgeon responsible for the care of my patients, I couldn’t accept anything less.
