Introduction to Liposuction

For those struggling with stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, liposuction at Celebrity Plastics in Miami offers an effective solution. Dr. Michael Keyes, a skilled plastic surgeon, utilizes his aesthetic expertise to sculpt your body and create a slimmer, more contoured figure through liposuction.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body using small incisions. Common treatment areas include:

• Abdomen
• Arms
• Buttocks
• Cheeks
• Chin
• Hips/Love handles
• Back
• Thighs
• Neck
• Knees
• Waist

While not a substitute for weight loss, liposuction can help contour the body by removing fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

• Microaire PAL: Power Assisted Liposuction uses an electric handpiece for efficient fat removal.

The Liposuction Procedure

On the day of surgery, Dr. Keyes will review the procedure steps before administering anesthesia. Small incisions are made to insert a thin cannula, which removes fat cells using suction. The procedure duration varies based on the treatment area and extent.

Recovery After Liposuction

Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort initially. Dr. Keyes provides detailed post-operative instructions, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities. Most patients return to work within a week, with final results visible after a few months as swelling subsides.
