Liposuction in Philadelphia - Dermatology & Fat Reduction

Before & After

Liposuction is one of the most effective treatments to eliminate unwanted body fat. People who fail to remove excess deposits of fat with exercise and diet can now get back their athletic body shape by going through a safe and simple procedure. Even those who gained a larger amount of adipose tissue can shave off a substantial portion and feel great about themselves again.

" ... getting back your athletic look is now possible ... "

Fortunately, a new generation of technology and techniques deliver great results without the risk and trauma to the body that was associated with liposuction over 20 years ago. Liposuction today is performed with tumescent (local) anesthesia, which prevents bleeding and infection, and speeds up recovery.

It also makes general anesthesia unnecessary which provides two additonal benefits.

  • First, it reduces risk - the patient is awake and provides a constant feedback to the surgeon
  • Second, it eliminates the cost (about $2000) associated with general anesthesia

Liposuction today has

  • Lower risk

  • Easier recovery time

  • Lower cost

Originally, liposuction was performed with a simple cannula that was entered into the pockets of adipose tissue to break up fat cells. The same cannula was used to draw the fat out of the body.

In the past decade, new devices were introduced to help the surgeon break down fat more efficiently and remove it from the body more effectively. In addition to traditional liposuction, the most commonly used technologies today are power assisted liposuction (PAL), laser assisted liposuction (LAL - e.g. SmartLipo by Cynosure), and ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL - e.g Vaser by Valeant).
