Liposuction
Liposuction | Morea Plastic Surgery | Raleigh, NC
Liposuction, also known as fat removal, has become exceedingly popular due to its remarkable ability to address areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Healthy, fit men and women desiring this procedure in Raleigh, N.C. can permanently reshape and refine their trouble spots and attain the shape they desire. Thousands of patients have entrusted Dr. Christopher Morea and his talented staff at Morea Plastic Surgery Center to sculpt their bodies and enhance their confidence through this fat removal procedure.
This procedure is a contouring technique that removes unwanted excess fat from specific areas of the body, especially the abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, and upper arms. It is not a weight loss method but rather a body contouring technique. It is a safe, effective way to achieve a sleeker shape that is in greater harmony with the rest of your body.
This procedure is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures at Morea Plastic Surgery Center of North Raleigh. Although there are several different methods of this fat removal procedure, Dr. Morea prefers the tumescent technique for more precise and dramatic results. We perform all procedures in our fully accredited AAAASF-certified operating suite using either heavy IV sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Morea will begin making small incisions and injecting the fat with an anesthetic solution which improves comfort and minimizes bleeding. A specialized hollow tube called a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out the excess fat. Immediately following your procedure, you will be placed in a compression garment to control swelling, minimize bruising, and provide additional comfort. You will be advised to wear this garment for several weeks following the fat removal procedure in order to achieve optimal results.
Our patients see a noticeable difference in the shape of their body within one to two weeks after surgery. Once fat cells are removed, they should not return, but it is important to note that this fat removal procedure does not remove all of the fat cells in any given area. A large weight gain after this fat removal procedure can affect the results. Maintaining a healthy weight and exercising will provide long-lasting results.
During your first consultation at Morea Plastic Surgery in Raleigh, N.C., you will meet personally with Dr. Morea to discuss your areas of concern. He will examine you and help you determine which fat removal procedure is best for you.
Dr. Morea will give you a personal tour of his North Raleigh plastic surgery center. At the end of your consultation, you will be given a quote for the exact cost of the fat removal procedure designed for you.
