Body Contouring through Tumescent Liposuction

Serving Longmont, Lafayette and the Northern Colorado region

Lafayette Plastic Surgery Using Liposuction for Body ContouringYou have dieted and exercised and there are still stubborn areas of fat that will not go away. Your reason for choosing liposuction may be as simple as just wanting to look better in your clothes. While liposuction is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, it can make you look and feel better.

Liposuction surgery is performed to actually remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells from the body. Commonly treated areas are the abdomen, "love handles", hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, calves, chin and neck.

This cosmetic surgery procedure is meant for body contouring. It is not a treatment for obesity. A suction tube is inserted through tiny incisions placed in inconspicuous locations on the skin. With a high-pressure vacuum, fat cells are extracted through this tube. The result is a resculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours.

Tumescent liposuction is the safest liposuction technique. With the tumescent technique, large volumes of saline solution, local anesthesia, and adrenaline are infused into the fatty area being treated to cause swelling. This enables Dr. Meyers to maneuver a small instrument called a cannula, connected to a vacuum machine, superficially under the skin. The cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue through tiny incisions. Dr. Meyers gently moves it around under your skin and suctions away the unwanted fatty deposits to reveal more attractive contours.
