Liposuction can shape up those trouble areas...

Liposuction is a special type of cosmetic surgery in that significant changes can be made through a tiny incision. Liposuction procedures can range from small minor cases where a laser or ultrasound is used, to large cases where several body areas are recontoured at one time. For example, just this week we had a patient that was in good shape and worked out regularly, but just had a little excess fat in the hip region which we recontoured in a simple minor procedure. On the same day, we performed a major liposuction case where the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, and arms were all recontoured at one time to make a significant change. Liposuction or any type of plastic surgery for that matter can be tailored to the needs of each specific person and that is exactly what we do for every patient here at Associates in Plastic Surgery in New Jersey.
