Liposuction
Liposuction in Miami, Florida | Gables Plastic Surgery
The unwelcome and unsightly accumulation of body fat is a source of deep concern for many patients. Not only can excess fat negatively affect your health, but it can also affect your emotional well-being and self-image.
Even with all those frequent visits to the gym and a healthy eating plan, getting rid of that last bulge of fat on the abdomen, lower back, flanks (“love handles,”), thighs, or hips can be frustratingly impossible. Factors such as age, genetics, and gender all play a role in highlighting that the causes for stubborn body fat are outside of your control.
Despite diligently following a healthy lifestyle and getting close to your target weight, if you’re still unable to lose those last remaining pockets of fat, then it might be time to consider liposuction. A body-contouring method also known as lipo or lipoplasty, liposuction is a popular, safe, and effective aesthetic procedure used to eradicate pockets of excess fat cells and improve the shape or contours of the body.

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that removes stubborn fat and improves the body’s shape and contours. Since it isn’t a weight-loss treatment and carries risks and possible complications, it’s essential that you talk to your doctor before considering this treatment.
Patients should have a stable body weight that’s within 20-30% of their ideal body weight and not have excessively loose skin like that found after gastric bypass surgery.
What are the Different Types of Liposuction?
Several liposuction technologies provide plastic surgeons with a selection of tools and techniques to deliver the best results. For all types of liposuction, blunt-tipped surgical instruments known as cannulas are inserted into the treatment area to remove fat via suctioning.
There are four types of liposuction, each using a different procedure to dislodge and remove fat. During your initial liposuction consultation, Dr. de la Pedraja will discuss your options and your goals with you and help you decide which approach will be best for you.
