Liposuction

Stubborn fat deposits on the body that do not respond to diet and exercise can be discouraging for many people. Asian patients often retain fat on their arms, waist area, inner and outer thighs, calves, and back. Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a technique that removes fat from the desired locations to produce thinner body contours.
Our office performs liposuction in a certified operating room with a highly qualified anesthesiologist present to safely monitor the patient as Dr. Lee sculpts their desired physique.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
Liposuction is designed to remove fat pockets from selected regions of the body for a slimmer appearance. The gentle vibrations of liposuction allow for significant fat removal.
Liposuction techniques provide accuracy and efficiency when removing excess fat. By targeting specific areas, you can become closer to achieving your ideal body.
After excess fat has been removed from the body, many patients feel a boost in their self-esteem and have more options for clothing that fits comfortably and makes them feel good about how they look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is liposuction good for?
If you have bothersome excess fat, retain good skin elasticity, and are healthy, then you may be a good candidate for liposuction. During your consultation with Dr. Lee, discuss your medical history and cosmetic goals to determine the best treatment plan to suit your needs.
Does liposuction address loose skin?
Liposuction can correct excess fat but is not able to improve loose skin. If you have a concern with skin laxity, you can discuss including other body contouring procedures with your liposuction procedure to reduce hanging skin.
Can liposuction get rid of cellulite?
Liposuction does not directly address cellulite. If you’re concerned about those annoying dimples in your skin, let Dr. Lee know, and he can recommend combining cellulite treatment with your liposuction.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed through liposuction will be permanently eliminated from the body. However, the remaining fat cells can increase in size with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight with diet and exercise can help you enjoy your new slim contours for a long time.
Are there non-surgical ways to remove body fat?
CoolSculpting® offers non-surgical fat removal, but results can take up to six months to become visible, while liposuction results are almost immediate. CoolSculpting® is a great option for patients who have minimal excess fat they’d like to target.
