Liposuction: Sculpt Your Body with Precision

Understanding Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits to reshape specific areas of the body. Dr. Thomas J. Rishavy specializes in this technique to help patients achieve improved body contours and proportions.

Benefits of Liposuction

• Targeted fat removal from problem areas
• Enhanced body proportions
• Improved self-confidence
• Long-lasting results with proper diet and exercise

Ideal Candidates

The best candidates for liposuction are individuals of relatively normal weight with localized fat deposits that don't respond to diet or exercise. Patients should be in good physical and mental health with realistic expectations about the results.

The Liposuction Procedure

Dr. Rishavy performs liposuction using small, thin tubes (cannulas) inserted through tiny incisions. These cannulas are connected to a vacuum device that suctions out the excess fat. The procedure can be done under general or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically experience some bruising, swelling, and soreness after liposuction. Most people take one to two weeks off work and avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. Dr. Rishavy provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
