Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat
If you have fat deposits that won’t disappear no matter how much diet and exercise you do, then liposuction might be your solution — and at Willis Cosmetic Surgery, we offer VASER liposuction to effectively remove the most stubborn fat with less bruising and swelling.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction surgery is an extremely effective solution for immediately removing unwanted fat and improving your body’s appearance. Many people have fat deposits that won’t go away, no matter how much diet and exercise they do. Liposuction surgery is an extremely effective solution for that problem, immediately removing unwanted fat and improving your body’s appearance.
Liposuction sculpts your body into your desired shape by removing pockets of stubborn fat from the buttocks, hips, love handles, saddlebags, thighs, calves, ankles, breasts (including male breasts), back, arms, and neck.
Liposuction is extremely safe and often combined with other procedures like a facelift, breast reduction, or tummy tuck to achieve the desired appearance.
Many people don’t realize that any fat removed by liposuction will actually not grow back. But it is still important to maintain a stable weight to help your new look last. If you gain a lot of weight after the procedure, your body will store excess fat in other locations, and any existing fat cells in the liposuctioned area can grow larger as well.
Sculpt Your Dream Body With VASER Liposuction
At Willis Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Willis uses VASER liposuction to reduce fatty bulges and sculpt a more beautiful you.
VASER liposuction works similarly to traditional liposuction — but with this procedure, Dr. Willis can remove the most stubborn fat deposits with increased precision, which means you enjoy less bruising and swelling and faster overall recovery.
Dr. Willis also offers BodyTite, a less invasive body contouring option — and in some cases, he can combine the two procedures to customize a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
What Results to Expect With Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the US. It is excellent for reducing fatty bulges and sculpting a beautiful, natural contour to the body. If you’re wanting to look better in a swimsuit, or even fit into slimmer jeans more comfortably, liposuction is a great option. Liposuction can also effectively treat male breasts (gynecomastia).
If any of the following describe you, liposuction might be a great fit for you:
- If you have stubborn excess fat on your hips, belly, thighs, neck or chest that won’t respond to diet or exercise
- You feel like certain body parts are out of proportion with the rest of your figure
- You have good skin elasticity / no problems with sagging skin
- You are already at or near your desired body weight
- You don’t have blood circulation problems, heart disease, diabetes, or a weak immune system
Liposuction does not treat cellulite, and is not considered an overall weight-loss method or alternative. It is perfect If you’re wanting to lose 1 to 10 pounds of fat. So if you’re already near your desired weight, and somewhat happy with your weight, liposuction might be a good fit for you.
