Liposuction is Popular Body Contouring Procedure for Men and Women
It’s important for all individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise for their overall wellness. Even with regular physical activity and a healthy diet, stubborn fat may not respond in areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and waist. Liposuction is a body contouring surgery that can remove localized fat deposits. According to the most recent report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is the third most popular cosmetic procedure for both men and women.
Dr. Franklyn Elliott has been performing liposuction since its invention in the 1980s and has found that the best results are with healthy patients wanting to remove smaller, non-responsive fat pockets. Dr. Elliott removes the unwanted fat by making small incisions to suction fat through cannulas (tiny metal tubes) to contour and rejuvenate a patient’s profile.
Dr. Elliott emphasizes to all of his patients that liposuction is not a weight loss treatment and does not replace a healthy lifestyle. During a liposuction consultation, Dr. Elliott will discuss your aesthetic goals and realistic results. Patients who have lost an extreme amount of weight or had post-bariatric surgery may benefit from another body contouring procedure like a tummy tuck or body lift surgery to remove and tighten excessive skin and tissue, which liposuction does not do.
