What is liposuction, suction lipectomy or lipoplasty?
In liposuction, fat is removed via a small, hollow tube called a cannula. Incisions are placed in areas where the body’s natural creases will minimize any potential scarring. Incisions are smaller than a centimeter in length. Once the incision is made, solution containing anesthesia and epinephrine (“wetting solution”) are infused to minimize pain and blood loss. Once the area to be treated has been infused with wetting solution, the cannula is connected to a suction unit and guided by the expert hands of Dr. Tyrone. The cannula device then literally suctions away the unwanted fat – permanently. Care is taken to avoid irregularities in the skin caused by aggressive superficial liposuction. Care is also taken to avoid causing depressions from overly aggressive fat removal.
