Dr. Perlman offers progressive new techniques such as Vaser Liposelection which offers smooth results and rapid healing. Liposelection uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to reshape your body.
 

 

Liposuction (lipoplasty) is particularly well-suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them.

While it is possible to undergo liposuction at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. When skin is inelastic, as in some older patients, it may not redrape well and a skin tightening procedure may be necessary.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?:

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you have localized excess fat or if you desire contouring in any of the following areas:

cheeks, jowls and neck
upper arms
breast or chest areas
back
abdomen and waist
hips and buttocks
inner and outer thighs
inner knee
calves and ankles
.

Liposuction may sometimes be used to treat a condition called gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, which frequently occurs among both teenage and adult males.

Liposuction should not be considered a substitute for overall weight loss, nor is it an effective treatment for cellulite, a condition that gives the skin an uneven, dimpled appearance. Alternative treatments may be considered, in some instances, to improve this problem.

Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at the same time, and it can also be done in conjunction with other aesthetic plastic surgery.

 
If you would like more information about this and other procedures available, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Perlman for a personal consultation.

"Our practice uses the VASER, the most advanced method available. This is an ultrasonic liposuction technique which offers better results with less bruising and swelling, less pain and faster recovery than the conventional wet suction technique."
