What is Liposuction?

Both men and women often deal with stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is a surgical cosmetic procedure that removes these stubborn pockets of fat from the patient's desired treatment areas for a more fit and contoured appearance. While liposuction can be performed on almost any area of the body, the most common areas to get liposuction include:

  •  Upper and lower abdomen
  • Hips and flanks (love handles)
  • Thighs
  • Under chin (submental)
  • Upper and lower back
  • Arms

It is important to note that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and should not be viewed as an alternative to a healthy diet and regular exercise. Liposuction is also not a treatment for cellulite or loose skin. Rather, it is a great procedure for shaping and sculpting the body when diet and exercise just haven’t provided your desired results. Dr. Breister Ghosh and her team find the best liposuction results are seen when patients are within 10 to 15lbs of their ideal weight.

What are the Benefits of Liposuction?

There are many benefits of receiving liposuction with Dr. Breister Ghosh and her medical team, including:

  • Removes stubborn pockets of fat
  • Can be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures
  • Improves the comfort and fit of clothes
  • Boosts overall confidence

How is Liposuction Performed?

Your liposuction procedure will be performed by Dr. Diana Breister Ghosh in an accredited outpatient surgery center. To begin, Dr. Breister Ghosh will make a very small, inconspicuous incision in the area being treated. Through this incision, a thin tube called a cannula that is connected to a gentle vacuum-powered system is inserted into the body. Excess fatty deposits will then be carefully broken up and suctioned out. The time your procedure will take to complete will depend on the size of your treatment area and your desired results. The technique Dr. Breister Ghosh uses is called the “tumescent technique.”

What Can I Expect After My Liposuction Surgery?

Following your liposuction surgery, Dr. Breister Ghosh will fit you with a surgical compression garment similar to Spanxx. The purpose of this garment is to help reduce your swelling and promote healthy healing throughout your recovery. It is essential that your compression garment be worn in order to help your skin heal smoothly and tightly against your body's new contours. Dr. Breister Ghosh and her team may suggest you continue to wear this garment for about 4 to 6 weeks following your procedure, depending on your healing process. Patients should talk with Dr. Breister Ghosh about the physical demands of their job, but should usually plan for around 1 week off work.

How Much Will My Liposuction Treatment Cost?
