Liposuction, also referred to as lipoplasty, is one of the most commonly-performed cosmetic procedures in the United States and is highly popular in the Sun City, Peoria, and Glendale AZ areas. It is a surgical technique that is used to improve a person’s physique by removing excess fat deposits that are located between the skin and muscle. With advancements in the field of technology, newer techniques have helped to increase the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?
-
Good overall health: Candidates should be in good physical health and within an average weight range.
-
Localized fat deposits: Ideal for individuals with specific areas of excess fat that can be sculpted.
-
Good skin tone and elasticity: Best suited for those whose skin can contract smoothly after fat removal; mild skin laxity may still be acceptable.
-
Understanding of skin limitations: Patients with poor skin elasticity may experience sagging, as liposuction does not tighten loose skin.
-
Realistic expectations: Should recognize that liposuction is for body contouring, not weight loss.

What are My Options for Liposuction?
During your consultation in Glendale, AZ, Dr. Angelchik will discuss body contouring options, candidacy requirements, and answer any questions you may have. Liposuction techniques offered include Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL), which uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat for easier removal with traditional suction methods. Another option is Power-Assisted Liposuction, which employs a vibrating cannula to break up and suction fat efficiently, especially in cases involving larger volumes or fibrous tissue. Both techniques are tailored to meet your specific needs and help achieve your desired body contouring results.
Call NowLiposuction Recovery and Results
Dr. Angelchik will provide detailed instructions for post-liposuction care, including how to manage incisions, care for the treated area, and when to resume activities. Recovery typically lasts about two weeks, though final results may take up to six months as swelling gradually subsides.
Wearing a compression garment is essential during recovery to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and help the skin conform to new contours. Following Dr. Angelchik’s recommendations carefully will ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from your procedure.
