Lipo Is the Greek word meaning fat. Liposuction implies the removal of fat while liposculpture is refining of contours to both the male and female torso.
When you have dieted and exercised and there are still stubborn areas of fatty deposits that will not go away, or you just want to look better in your clothes then liposuction may be for you.
Liposuction is the fastest growing surgical procedure in America and involves the removal of fat cells from the body. While liposuction will not replace a healthy diet and lifestyle, it can work in tandem making you feel and look better.
How does Liposuction work?
Here at Derma Laser Centers Dr. El-Attar uses the Tumescent Liposuction Techniques, where large amounts of local anesthetic and adrenalin are infused into the fatty area, causing constriction of vessels and numbness of the area resulting in a painless procedure. A small incision is made in an inconspicuous location on the skin, a small tube is inserted under the skin then the fat cells are extracted through a tube. The result is a re-sculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours.
