Achieve Lasting Results with Liposuction

Even if you eat healthily and exercise, over time your body will likely develop stubborn fat that just doesn’t want to go away, regardless of the fat-burning method you use. What’s worse, as our metabolism slows, these fat deposits accumulate, creating everything from double chins to love handles.

Because this type of fat can be very difficult to get rid of – regardless of your diet or your number of daily crunches – more and more people in the Greater Atlanta area are turning to liposuction as a popular body contouring surgery. Here at Northside Plastic Surgery, we provide some of the best results with liposuction in Atlanta and Alpharetta, GA.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is among the world’s most popular FDA-approved methods of body contouring. This minimally invasive fat loss technique can be used to sculpt the torso, enhancing your self-image and providing you with a whole new set of wardrobe options.

Liposuction is ideal for trimming and streamlining those regions of the body that are notoriously resistant to dieting and exercise, such as the belly, hips, thighs and waist. Dr. Klein utilizes the most advanced, cutting edge techniques currently available to safely and effectively remove the bulges and bumps that keep you feeling self-conscious about your physique.

Liposuction can be used to treat a variety of problem areas, including:

Love handles and hips
Abdomen
Upper arms
Buttocks and back
Thighs and knees
Bra rolls
Male chest (gynecomastia)

If you are relatively healthy and traditional fat-burning methods haven’t worked, then liposuction is a safe and effective method that can reshape your body and restore a healthier appearance that matches your inner health.

Who is a good candidate for liposuction in Atlanta?

Clients considering liposuction in Atlanta should be:

Healthy, emotionally and physically
Not suffering from any major medical conditions that would interfere with treatment
Seeking fat loss rather than weight loss
Non-smokers, or are willing to quit before and after liposuction
Willing to follow instructions before and after treatment
Realistic in their expectations for improvement

What is the liposuction procedure?

Liposuction in Atlanta is performed on an outpatient basis using general or local anesthesia. You might also be given a sedative, typically through an IV injection, to help you relax. Most surgeries are completed in less than two hours, depending on the extent of fat removal.

Dr. Marc Klein has performed thousands of liposuctions with a variety of techniques, ranging from the standard tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER and Lysonix), Smartlipo, laser-assisted liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, and others. Dr. Klein has a large experience with liposuction using local anesthesia.

During the procedure, a small incision is made at the target area. A slender tube known as a cannula is then inserted into the incision through which excess fat is vacuumed out and either discarded or saved for a future fat transfer procedure.

Liposuction can be performed on its own, or it can accompany a tummy tuck or mommy makeover procedure. By combining liposuction with other body sculpting surgeries, the doctor can deliver improved definition and shapeliness throughout the figure.

What are the different types of liposuction?

Smartlipo – Smartlipo is a form of laser-assisted lipo. During Smartlipo, laser energy is used to emulsify the fat so that it can then be easily sucked out by a small cannula that is threaded through a minor incision.
UAL (Ultrasonic Lipo) – During ultrasonic liposuction, the fat cells are first liquefied by ultrasonic waves, making them more vulnerable to removal by a cannula. UAL provides the doctor with an increased level of precision for sculpting delicate areas of the body.
VASER Lipo – VASER lipo is a popular form of ultrasonic liposuction that provides a high level of accuracy and definition for the client in terms of body sculpting. VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance.

PAL (Power-Assisted Lipo) – PAL is used to provide the patient with a more precise, individualized liposuction result. During this type of lipo, the doctor will use a motorized device that creates small, rapid vibrations to help emulsify the fat cells before their removal with a cannula.
Tumescent Lipo – Tumescent liposuction involves the injection of diluted lidocaine and epinephrine into the layers of fat. This helps to swell up the target areas and make them firm. Some of the benefits of tumescent liposuction are that patients no longer need general anesthesia or sedatives, and bleeding is also greatly minimized.
Radiofrequency-Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) with BodyTite – BodyTite is a cutting-edge device used for radiofrequency-assisted liposuction. This is an advanced form of liposuction wherein radiofrequency energy is used to tighten the skin tissues and encourage collagen production, minimizing the risk of sagging skin caused by fat removal.

Liposuction FAQs

What happens if I put on weight after liposuction?

Liposuction can permanently rid the body of fat cells. Once they are removed during your procedure, they will never return. If you do gain weight, fat cells in the untreated parts of your body can expand, but the treated areas will still appear shapely. Clients should continue to adhere to a healthy diet and exercise regimen after their treatment in order to maintain their body contouring results.

Is liposuction a safe procedure?

When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with expertise and skill in body contouring, liposuction is perfectly safe and effective. Liposuction has among the lowest complication rates out of any cosmetic procedure.

Is liposuction painful?

Newer, innovative liposuction techniques have gone a long way to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Most clients find liposuction to be minimally painful, especially when the treatment is performed using local anesthesia with IV sedation.

What are the risks involved with liposuction?

Complications with liposuction are rare, but can sometimes occur if the surgeon attempts to treat too many areas on the same day. Potential risks include anesthesia risks, infection, bleeding, nerve injury, or skin ulcerations.
