In today's world, looking and feeling good mean having a fit, well-proportioned body. However, for many people this may seem like an unreachable goal. Sometimes even a strict diet or a disciplined exercise program can't conquer stubborn areas of excess fat.
Liposuction may be the answer for Maryland residents seeking a smoother or better proportioned body contour. If you are considering liposuction, why not request a free consultation with Dr. Chiaramonte?
Liposuction, also called lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of the body, face, or neck. Liposuction can be used to slim the hips and thighs, flatten the abdomen, shape the calves and ankles or eliminate a double chin.
Liposuction is recommended for Maryland and Washington D.C. men and women of normal weight who simply want to improve their body contour. The procedure can product excellent results for people who have deposits of excess fat that make certain body areas appear disproportionately large. Although liposuction is not a treatment for obesity, it can permanently alter body proportion and is sometimes the only way to eliminate fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
People of almost any age may undergo liposuction; however, patients with good skin elasticity will achieve the smoothest contour after fat is removed.
To perform liposuction, one or more small incisions are made near the area to be suctioned. Whenever possible, incisions are placed within the natural folds or contour lines of the skin so they are inconspicuous. Dr. Chiaramonte then places a slim, hollow tube called a cannula through the incision so that its tip penetrates the underlying fat. After the cannula is connected by flexible tubing to a suction pump, Dr. Chiaramonte moves the cannula back and forth through the fat, which is vacuumed into the tube.
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 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 postoperative weight, you new, slimmer contour will be permanent.
