Fat Reduction Liposuction Sarasota, FL | Braun H. Graham, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction in Sarasota

Stubborn fat deposits are a common aesthetic concern that can persist despite consistent diet and exercise. As individuals age, fat tends to accumulate in specific areas like the hips, waist, thighs, and abdomen, often remaining resistant to traditional weight loss methods.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure designed to remove excess fat from targeted areas using a small suction tube. This precision technique allows surgeons to sculpt and enhance body silhouettes by addressing localized fat deposits.

Key Liposuction Considerations

• Not a weight-loss treatment
• Recommended for patients near target weight
• Targets specific problem areas
• Requires good skin elasticity

Procedure Overview

Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia in a state-of-the-art surgical facility. The procedure typically takes approximately 30 minutes per treatment area, with surgeons using advanced techniques to minimize invasiveness and optimize results.

Recovery and Results

Post-procedure recovery involves wearing compression garments to support healing tissues. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling to subside within a week, with final results becoming apparent over several months.

Treatable Body Areas

• Abdomen
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Knees
• Upper arms
• Chin and neck
