Are you looking to lose a large amount of fat for weight loss? Liposuction for weight loss may be the key for you! Liposuction for weight loss consists of suctioning out over 5 liters of bodily fat. Wow! That’s a lot of fat taken out!

Who is a good candidate?

• The best candidates for liposuction (or "Lipoplasty") are individuals with localized fat deposits who are otherwise in good health and normal body weight. Usual areas of fat deposits are the flanks, 'saddle bags', inner thighs, abdomen, upper chest and arms.

How It Is Done: Liposuction for weight loss means taking a large volume of fat from certain areas of the body to achieve a slimmer silhouette. Large volumes of liposuction can be used for weight loss under medical guidance. Multiple sessions and one to two areas at a time are only allowed in order to decrease the chance of complication. Prior to performing the lipoplasty, a large amount of special fluid is instilled in to the areas to be suctioned. Introducing large amounts of fluid defines the “tumescent” technique, which is Dr. Diana's preferred technique. In general, the amount of fat removed is determined by your body shape and surgical goals. Some superficial fat will be preserved to avoid skin irregularities and lumpiness. Other options can involve the type of instruments used or how deep the suctioning goes.

Recovery: Liposuction will reduce the areas with unflattering bulges by reducing the areas of fatty deposits. Fluid retention following the surgery, along with prolonged swelling, can extend the time it takes to expose the final results. Results of a lipoplasty are very gradual but once they are apparent the results are permanent assuming you remain at basically the same weight. If a few pounds are gained, you may find that instead of the weight building up in the problem areas that were treated it is more evenly distributed. Patients typically return to work within a few days to one week after surgery.

A compression garment is applied after surgery. The garment aids in removing the excess fluid and helps to shape the areas treated by suction.
