Boca Raton Liposuction

We all need some fat on our bodies. Often, the problem is where that fat is distributed. Too much around the stomach, thighs, buttocks, knees, upper arms, jaw line or neck can take away from an otherwise good physique. Diet and exercise can help. If they don't, however, there's the option of liposuction. Liposuction, the surgical and permanent removal of fatty areas, is done by suctioning out the fat with tubes, called cannulas, and redraping the skin.

A decade ago, having liposuction meant 10 days to 2 weeks of swelling, bruising and support bandages. All that has changed with the advent of the tumescent liposuction technique and our use of smaller cannulas. Patients spend less time in recovery, the results are better and more people are candidates for the procedure.

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the United States, according to the ASPS. ASPS members performed 230,865 lipoplasty procedures in 1999 and of these 87 percent were women.
