Liposuction
of the Body
Liposuction is the most common method used to remove and resculpt stubborn fat. The procedure involves the use of a slender surgical tube called a cannula to suction fat from localized areas of the body to create smoother, leaner body contours. Liposuction can be performed safely on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, buttocks, hips, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, ankles, upper and lower back, and upper arms.
The Liposuction Procedure
Dr. Sessa begins the procedure by making detailed guide markings on the skin of the area to be sculpted. The area is then prepared with injections of a saline solution, which contain an anesthetic. Once the area is ready, he will make a few small incisions through which he inserts the cannula, and with a back and forth movement of the instrument, breaks up and removes the appropriate amount of fat, being careful to create smooth, even contours. Dr. Sessa uses the most advanced methods of liposuction to achieve superior results with the least amount of post-operative bruising, swelling and discomfort possible.
