Procedure Liposuction is the removal of fat from areas where diet and exercise have proven ineffective. During the procedure, Dr. Angelchik performs the following steps.
- A large amount of fluid is injected into the treatment area to anesthetize and expand the fat cells.
- Small incisions are made and a cannula, a small vacuum tube, is inserted into the treatment area and the fat is broken up and removed.
- The incisions are usually left open and dressed and the remaining fluid is allowed to seep out.
Liposuction can be performed in conjunction with other procedures like abdominoplasty, thighplasty, neck lifts and even face-lifts in order to provide for further sculpting of the treated area.
