Liposuction
Excess fatty tissue may accumulate in isolated areas of the face and/or body. Sometimes it is not just a problem of being overweight but some people find it hard to lose inches in certain areas of the face and body no matter how much they work out or diet. These are ideal situations for liposuction surgery. Liposuction is performed by inserting a special instrument, or cannula, through a tiny incision in the skin and removing most of the unwanted fat cells in that area, giving the patient a more natural contour to their shape. Some of the most common areas for liposuction are underneath the chin, abdomen, hips (for women), flanks or "love handles" (for men), arms, inner and outer thighs, and knees. A compressive garment is required during the healing process to obtain a better result. Endermology treatments are recommended for reducing cellulite and enhancing the results from liposuction. See the Endermology section for more details.

Liposuction surgery is performed at Brighton Medical Corporation, a certified out-patient surgical center. This procedure can be done under a light intravenous sedation but may be done under general anesthesia depending on the number of areas to be liposuctioned. The patient is required to have a competent adult pick them up from the surgical center and stay with them the first night. Surgical fees, pre-operative and post-operative instructions are given at the time of the consultation and the patient is responsible for reading these instructions thoroughly prior to surgery.
