Liposuction has become one of the most common cosmetic
surgery procedures performed today. Minimal scarring and outstanding results
have made it the preferred method for removing fat from the hips, thighs,
buttocks, midriff, as well as areas of the face neck and arms. Liposuction is
not an alternative to weight reduction, but can be very effective in removing
fat from areas that do not respond to diet and exercise programs.
Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia. A narrow tube or
cannula is inserted into a small incision made in an inconspicuous place. Dr.
Rosenthal will then manipulate the cannula, which is connected to a strong
vacuum, breaking up fatty areas and suctioning out the fat. When indicated, Dr.
Rosenthal will also use Ultrasonic Techniques to liquefy the fat prior to
removal. This allows for smoother fat removal with less blood loss.
