Liposuction in West Palm Beach Forida

study presentationsLiposuction is a procedure that removes localized areas of fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, calves, upper arms, cheeks, and neck. West Palm Beach liposculpture patients are generally looking for improved contours in their figures – both in and out of clothing. Liposuction is performed with a thin metal tube called a cannula, which is inserted underneath of the skin to vacuum fat away from particular irregular contours on the body.
At our practice in West Palm Beach, liposculpture can be done with just the cannula alone, however, frequently a solution is injected under the skin into the fatty layer. This minimizes the bruising, bleeding, and postoperative discomfort that can be associated with liposuction. This is called the tumescent liposuction technique, although the volume of solution injected determines whether it is tumescent liposuction or the “superwet technique.” The newest development in liposuction is ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), which does use solution injection, but also utilizes a cannula that emits ultrasonic waves to "melt" fat away. It is important to recognize that liposuction is not a method of weight loss, but is best considered for patients who are at or very close to their ideal body weight. Below are some examples of patients who have undergone liposuction at Dr. Pinsky's West Palm Beach cosmetic surgery practice.
