Six Places on the Body to Remove Fat With Liposuction

Liposuction is an outpatient surgery used to remove fat deposits from specific body areas. Though not a weight-loss solution, liposuction surgery can reduce fat in places that are especially resistant to diet and exercise.

Dr. Gerry Sotomayor has experience performing this advanced body contouring procedure and knows how to produce slimming results in the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and back.

Who can benefit from liposuction?

Factors like genetics and hormone changes prevent people from achieving their ideal body shape. Liposuction is an excellent solution for people with small fat pockets that are not responsive to diet or exercise, no matter how many hours they spend at the gym.

Liposuction surgery can be used to slim and reshape many areas that appear full or disproportionate compared to the rest of the body. Patients who undergo this procedure feel better about their appearance and often report an improvement in self-esteem.

What body areas can you treat?

Gynecology and Cosmetic Surgery Center of Atlanta can provide personalized body contouring solutions based on your desired liposuction results. A consultation is the best time to discuss your needs and learn how this procedure works. If you live near Peachtree Corners or Atlanta, speak with Dr. Sotomayor about the following:

1. Abdomen: Pregnancy and weight fluctuations can lead to a buildup of abdominal fat. Liposuction can provide a tighter and flatter midsection that is more proportionate to the rest of your body.

2. Hips: Also known as “saddlebags,” fat deposits on the hips are a common concern. Fat removal through liposuction can create a more defined waist-to-hip ratio.

3. Thighs: The inner and outer thighs are one of the first places people notice fat accumulation. Liposuction surgery can smooth out your thighs for a more attractive lower body.

4. Buttocks: If you are unhappy with a “flat” or “saggy” bottom, liposuction can provide a more shapely appearance. Patients look great in form-fitting clothing, like jeans and swimsuits.

5. Upper arms: Fat in the upper arms may prevent you from wearing sleeveless shirts or dresses. Liposuction can slim down and contour your arms for a toned look.

6. Back: Also known as “bra bulge,” fat deposits on the back can be difficult to reduce on your own. Liposuction of the back can remove these isolated areas of fat and create a smoother profile.

How long do liposuction results last?

Liposuction is a long-lasting solution for unwanted fat. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle after a body contouring procedure. Dr. Sotomayor recommends staying within 10 – 15 pounds of your current weight and avoiding drastic changes to your diet and exercise routines. We can provide specific post-operative guidelines to ensure safe and successful outcomes after fat removal.
