Alexandria VA Liposuction

In today’s world, much of a person’s self-confidence can rest on the proportions and fitness of their body. This can, however, sometimes feel like an utterly unattainable state. Due to a variety of factors, sometimes even dieting and exercise leave areas of cellulite and fat deposits that frustrate us.

In Alexandria, VA, liposuction has been the answer for many patients who have been dissatisfied with the body contour that nature provided them. If you are considering liposuction, why not request a free consultation with Dr. Chiaramonte?

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, eliminates portions of unwanted fat that tend to accumulate around certain parts of your body, neck, or face. The procedure can also contour hips and thighs, remove “pooch” from your abdomen, slim down calves and ankles, or get rid of a double chin. It also can be combined with a tummy tuck when Dr. Chiaramonte performs a Bella Body Lift, a lipoabdominoplasty procedure that reduces and contours the area between your breasts and stomach.

The Best Candidates for Liposuction

Ideal Maryland and Alexandria VA liposuction patients are individuals of healthy weight who are seeking to alter the shape and silhouette of their bodies. Liposuction is best for helping people get rid of residual specific areas that can make their bodies appear out of proportion. This procedure is not a cure for obesity, but your body’s contour and proportions will be permanently changed.

This treatment is available for individuals of a very wide age range; however, those with a high level of elasticity to their skin will respond best to the recontouring procedure.

Having Liposuction in Maryland

After you are anesthetized, a small incision is placed around the area that will undergo suction. Whenever possible, Dr. Chiaramonte locates this incision within a natural skin fold or contour line. Dr. Chiaramonte will then insert a cannula—a thin, hollow section of tubing—into the incision and the tip will penetrate the subdermal section of fat. More flexible tubing is used to link the cannula to a suction pump. Dr. Chiaramonte rotates the cannula around in the area, the motion of which vacuums the fat out of the body.

Your New Look

Quite soon after surgery, you will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body. However, improvement will become more apparent after a couple of months, when fluid retention and swelling have subsided. For most Maryland liposuction patients, the final result is evident after about three months. After your liposuction surgery, you may notice that clothes fit more comfortably, and you feel more confident about your appearance. As long as you maintain your post-operative weight, your new, slimmer contour will be permanent.
