"My experience has been very positive and it started with my first impression. I immediately felt comfortable with the friendly staff. I was impressed by the time, expertise, genuine compassion and kindness given by Dr. Amiry. I never felt pressured or rushed. I would describe myself as squeamish but I was so comfortable in Dr. Amiry's care that the night before my liposculpture procedure I did not take the anti-anxiety medication that was prescribed to aid with sleep. I was amazed by both the care that was given to ensure my comfort during the procedure and by the lengths Dr. Amiry went to, the amount time and how deliberate he worked to ensure the best results."

Liposuction surgery involves the removal of fat cells from the body. It is designed for those who have specific areas of localized fat deposits and who have tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise and weight loss.

What is tumescent liposuction?

Using extremely small micro-instruments, tumescent liposuction is a safe, simple procedure that gently reshapes your body. Tumescent liposuction removes excess fat from stubborn areas.

How is the procedure performed?

A large amount of diluted local anesthetic is first injected into the area. No general anesthesia is needed. Next, a small suction tube, called a cannula, is inserted through a tiny incision placed in an inconspicuous location on the skin. With a high pressure vacuum, fat cells are extracted through the tube, resulting in a re-sculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours.

How does tumescent liposuction vary from traditional liposuction?

Tumescent liposuction utilizes a much smaller cannula than traditional liposuction. The smaller cannula allows for much more precise sculpting than traditional liposuction. In addition, the procedure is substantially less invasive, minimizing bruising, and allowing for quicker recovery times and significantly less discomfort. Due to the small size of the cannula, the fibrous connections between your skin and body remain intact. These connections contract over time, eliminating excessive skin folds.

What areas can be treated with tumescent liposuction?

While liposuction is not designed to correct general obesity, any area where excess fat deposits have accumulated can be treated. These include the waistline, abdomen, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, arms, chin, neck, jowls, and cheeks.

How quick is the recovery time?

After the procedure, a compression bandage is worn by the patient for 3-5days.
Most patients are able to return to normal activities and exercise within 3 days.
