Liposuction
Liposuction is the surgical removal of fat cells through small incisions. The procedure was first performed in Europe in the 1970s. Liposuction is not an alternative to weight reduction, but can be very effective in removing fat from areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is commonly used to remove stubborn, diet and exercise-resistant fat deposits and to sculpt the body into a slimmer profile. There have been many advances in liposuction procedures over the last few decades, making it one of the safest and most popular body contouring procedures in the world. One of the most recent advances is the addition of ultrasonic energy, which melts the fat tissue prior to removal, thus limiting bruising and discomfort. Suction-assisted lipectomy is usually performed under anesthesia in a fully accredited outpatient surgical facility.

Liposuction (suction-assisted lipectomy, ultrasonic assisted liposuction)
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed today. Minimal scarring and outstanding results have made the various liposuction techniques the preferred method for removing fat from the waist, hips, thighs, knees, buttocks and midriff, as well as areas of the face and neck. Liposuction is not an alternative to weight reduction, but can be very effective in removing fat from areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is commonly used to remove stubborn, diet and exercise-resistant fat deposits and to sculpt the body into a slimmer profile. For some patients, resistant fat deposits may be a genetic problem. Most frequently treated areas in women are abdomen, hips, thighs, and knees. In men, love handles, the abdomen and chest are most often treated. These are areas where body contouring with liposuction produces impressive results. Today, there are several techniques for liposuction, and the results vary based on the patient's specific body structure. Plastic surgeon Dr. Boemi in Naples, Florida cautions that all patients are different and a personal comprehensive consultation is required to determine if you are a candidate for liposuction and what type of results you can expect. Suction-assisted lipectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited outpatient surgical facility in Naples, Florida.
