Liposuction
Overview
Understanding Liposuction
Using a power-assisted technique, Dr. Whitfield sculpts the body with attention to natural musculature and contour lines, avoiding the over-corrected or irregular results associated with older liposuction methods.
Ideal Candidates- Localized fat deposits in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms
- Patients near their goal weight seeking contour refinement
- Preparation for or complement to other body procedures
- Definition of natural musculature
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) performed under general or local anesthesia with tumescent technique, tailored to the treatment area.
RecoveryCompression garment worn for 4 to 6 weeks; most patients resume desk work within a few days.
Frequently Asked QuestionsIs liposuction a weight-loss solution?
No — it is a body-contouring procedure best suited to patients already near a stable, healthy weight.
Will fat return after treatment?
Treated fat cells are permanently removed, though significant weight gain can still affect remaining areas.
Can multiple areas be treated at once?
Yes, provided the total volume remains within safe surgical limits.
