Liposuction

Why Opt for Liposuction

While some clothing styles help to reduce otherwise visible bulges, other clothing accentuates these areas. Many people diligently strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition, proper hydration, and the right workout program.

In spite of it all, we all too often discover those unwelcome stubborn areas that simply do not respond to even the most diligent diet and exercise. Often, people today develop these areas during puberty or in their early 20’s. Pregnancy causes massive hormonal shifts resulting in fatty tissue deposits that weren’t there before pregnancy. Aging is normal and programmed to produce unwanted changes that occur over a short 1-2 years.

Many of my clients are athletes whose careers include being personal trainers, Olympic Athletes, marathon runners, and triathletes. They maintain very stable weight but they too seek my advice about liposuction treatments. I commonly see clients who say: “My weight hasn’t really changed in years, but I simply can’t wear the clothes I wore several years ago because my shape has changed.”

Often, Liposuction is the right answer to these body challenges and many of these people could be excellent candidates for Liposuction.

Benefits of Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction can treat the following areas:

• Abdomen – Smooth and flatten areas from the ribs to the pubis
• Hip – Change the shape from a bulge to a gentle curve
• Thigh – Reduce, reshape and dramatically change front, inner and saddlebags
• Buttock Crease – Restore and create a pleasing fold and reshape your bottom
• Back – Eliminates or reduces “tissue rolls” on the bra strap area and breast roll for women
• Arms – Reduce the volume of fat in loose, hanging skin of upper arms
• Armpit – Reduces and tightens tissues of front and back folds, particularly the areas exposed with along the front of the armpit above breast that almost never respond to weight loss
• Knees – Reduces inner knees, improves the shape, restores a youthful look

Liposuction can also assist in addressing:

Good Candidates for Liposuction

Do you have one or more of the following concerns?

• Small, moderate or larger fat deposits and loose skin that resists diet and exercise
• Problem areas of the lateral thighs and buttock crease, hips and belly
• Stable current weight
• Difficulty in contour change in spite of exercise and diet
• Genetic areas that never seem to go away

Patients that come in for liposuction often have been struggling to improve their contour. Some patients, both women and med, may seek liposuction when they are at ideal weight and health. While your friends may not understand, some of the fittest clients who may be personal trainers, athletes, yoga instructors, will decide to undergo liposuction to finally improve the areas that simply resist diet and exercise. These clients know that further weight loss is nor in their best health and a simple safe option for treatment can result in the shape and appearance they have worked so hard to achieve, and deserve.

The Liposuction Procedure

After you are sedated with local anesthesia and IV sedation or general anesthesia, Dr. Rudderman will draw the treatment areas on your body and have you identify them before surgery begins. After the small incisions are made, he works through them to remove excess fatty tissue and sculpt those target areas. Saline solution with numbing agents is injected and a small cannula is inserted for tissue removal. The use of “small” instruments, his skill, experience and a keen artistic eye, allows for gentler, more precise sculpting to achieve the desired contours with a smoother, more predictable outcome.

Many physicians can “technically” perform liposuction. But patients have found that only those surgeons with extensive experience, skill, and a keen sense of artistic proportion, balance and beauty consistently achieve the best results.
