Liposuction is a transformative procedure designed to target and remove stubborn fat deposits. This contouring surgery is ideal for individuals who struggle with localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise, providing lasting results by sculpting and shaping the body.
It helps to refine body areas, creating smoother lines and more balanced proportions. The procedure involves making small incisions in the targeted areas, where a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out the fat between the skin and muscle. This technique is commonly used for areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, hips, arms, back, and the submental area (under the chin).
While liposuction can dramatically improve the contour of these areas, it is not suitable for removing visceral fat (fat around internal organs) or significant weight loss. It’s most effective for people who are close to their ideal weight but need help with fat deposits that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods.
Dr. Goldman brings advanced techniques to liposuction, focusing on smooth, even results. He primarily uses power-assisted liposuction, which employs mechanical oscillation to efficiently remove fat while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. For specific cases, like certain male patients, Dr. Goldman may use ultrasonic liposuction to break down fat for easier removal. Additionally, for patients looking for a more refined result, radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (Bodytite™ or Facetite™) may be utilized.
Dr. Goldman’s approach is always personalized, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to the patient's unique goals and body structure. Before the surgery, Dr. Goldman will meet with you to discuss your desired results and explain the techniques that are best suited for your body.
