Liposculpture

In today's health conscience society, looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. Sometimes, dieting and exercising simply don't give you the results you desire. There are options available instead of just being frustrated that you cannot get to the look you want. If you have lost a lot of weight, but still feel that you have too many areas that are not aesthetically pleasing, you might benefit from liposculpture.

By using liposuction, the cosmetic surgeon can smooth away the excess pockets of fat that linger on. Women benefit from liposculpture in the thighs, upper arms, neck and breast area. The most troublesome areas for men are love handles and pectoral muscles. Using a suction cannula in a number of strategic places, the cosmetic surgeon can reshape your form to help you reach your ultimate appearance goals.

Liposculpture is also often performed in conjunction with other procedures like a facelift, or abdominoplasty. The skin around the area may become loose and baggy after the fat is removed. Liposuction is not an alternative to losing weight. It is meant to eliminate those small pockets of fat you just can't seem to get rid of with any other method.

If you are considering any cosmetic procedures, Dr. Weil may use liposculpture to help create your best shape possible. To find out about liposculpture options in the San Francisco area, please contact Dr. Weil today to schedule an initial consultation.
