Hollywood Style Liposuction

Hollywood style liposuction is a minimally-invasive fat removal procedure used to sculpt the body and remove unwanted pesky fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. This is an extremely effective liposuction technique which offers fast recovery and minimal discomfort post procedure. Patients often return to work within 1 to 2 days of undergoing the Hollywood Style Liposuction. The results are visible immediately after the procedure and will significantly improve in the following months. The skin in the area being suctioned tightens up as well, so the final result will be a new, well-contoured body with toned skin. This liposuction method is performed strictly under local anesthesia. The ideal candidate is an individual who is in good health, practices a healthy lifestyle, in good physical shape and is not obese.

Hollywood Style liposuction can be used to treat virtually any part of the body:

Abdomen Back Hips and Flanks Thighs Buttocks Waist

Love Handles Chin Neck and Face Upper Arms Gynecomastia (male breast reduction)

Prior to beginning the procedure, the areas to be treated are carefully marked and a local anesthetic is given to numb the area. Liposuction stimulates growth of collagen, which tightens the skin and improves the overall appearance of the treated area. During the recovery process, there may be some minor discomfort for the first 24 hours following the procedure which can be effectively treated with pain medication. Occasionally, bruising may occur but normally disappears within few days of treatment. Depending upon the area being treated, a compression garment to aid in healing and to minimize swelling may be recommended.

Hollywood style liposuction is the treatment of choice for people who have an active and busy lifestyle and do not want or cannot afford to endure prolonged downtime.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove localized areas of fat from the body through a small thin tube called a cannula. The fat from the targeted area is suctioned from the body through this tube to help patients achieve a slim and balanced appearance. This liposuction procedure performed by Dr. Karlinsky is designed for patients with more body fat seeking a deeper fat removal for more noticeable results.

While the conventional liposuction procedure was effective in removing excessive fat deposits, it was a painful procedure that involved suctioning out large areas of solid fat. New technology has allowed for different techniques that improve the accuracy and reduce the pain associated with this procedure. Today, liposuction is usually performed via the tumescent technique. This new technology has transformed liposuction into a much safer and less invasive procedure.

Candidates for Liposuction

The ideal candidate for liposuction is someone who is in good overall health and maintains a healthy lifestyle, but has one or more problem areas with unresponsive fat deposits. It is also important for patients to have realistic expectations, and remember that liposuction cannot be used as a means for major weight loss. It is instead used to remove localized areas of stubborn fat after the patient has attempted other natural weight loss methods.

Liposuction can be used to treat localized fat deposits within the:

This procedure may be performed alone, or can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or tummy tuck, to achieve maximum results.

Procedure

New technologies have improved the accuracy of this procedure for both patient and doctor, and allow patients to achieve their desired results through a much less invasive procedure. Liposuction is performed through a tumescent technique, which involves an injection of tumescent anesthesia, which includes salt water, lidocaine and anesthesia to help reduce blood loss and shorten recovery times.

Liposuction may be performed in our office under local anesthesia, or in a surgical center under general anesthesia, depending on the type of procedure and amount of fat removal desired. Dr. Karlinsky will make several tiny incisions and inject a local anesthetic into the area to help expand and firm the fat, making it easier to remove. The cannula is then inserted through the incisions to suction out the fat. No stitches are needed after liposuction since the incisions are small enough to heal on their own.

You can minimize potential risks by choosing an experienced doctor like Dr. Karlinsky and by following her instructions before and after your procedure. To learn more about the Liposuction procedure, we encourage you to call us today and schedule a consultation.
