Liposuction

Liposuction can be performed to remove excess fat in virtually any area of the body. Example: abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, upper arms, breasts, hips, buttocks, pubis, under chin and neck. 

Procedure:

Under Tumescent Anesthesia, where a few Liters of Normal Saline mixed with Lidocaine, Sodium Bicarbonate and Epinephrine is infused into the fatty layer. The Anesthesiologist uses anesthetic agents where the patient will be breathing on his/her own but does not feel the pain.  The fat is then suctioned out by tiny incisions which are barely visible when they heal.
