Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. During the procedure, a surgeon suctions out fat cells, reshaping and contouring the treated area. Liposuction is not a weight loss method but can enhance body proportions. It is often performed under local or general anesthesia, and recovery times vary depending on the extent of the procedure.

Here are key points about liposuction:

  • Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas to improve body contours and proportions.

  • It is not a weight loss method but rather a body sculpting procedure for localized fat removal.

  • Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and chin, but it can be used on various body regions.

  • Patients should have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess candidacy, discuss goals, and understand the procedure.

  • Liposuction involves making small incisions, injecting a solution to numb the area and facilitate fat removal, and using a cannula to suction out fat cells.

  • What is FUE hair transplantation?
    FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that involves the extraction and transplantation of individual hair follicles from a donor area to areas with thinning or balding hair.
  • How does FUE differ from other hair transplant methods?
    FUE differs from the strip method (FUT) by individually extracting follicles instead of a strip of scalp, resulting in smaller, less visible scars.
  • Am I a suitable candidate for FUE?
    Ideal candidates have sufficient donor hair in the back or sides of the head and are experiencing pattern baldness or hair loss.
  • Is FUE a permanent solution for hair loss?
    The transplanted hair is permanent, but ongoing hair loss may require further treatment or maintenance.
  • How is the donor area determined for FUE?
    The donor area is typically the back or sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to balding.
  • Is FUE painful?
    Discomfort is minimal during the procedure, and local anesthesia is used. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with pain medication.
  • What is the recovery time for FUE?
    Most patients can return to regular activities within a few days, with full recovery taking a few weeks.
