Body Contouring Liposuction East Syracuse, NY | Guillermo Quetell, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction: Advanced Body Sculpting Technique

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a specialized body contouring procedure designed to slim and reshape specific body areas by removing excess fat deposits. Despite maintaining good health and fitness, some individuals experience disproportionate body contours due to localized fat accumulation.

Target Areas for Liposuction

Dr. Guillermo Quetell offers comprehensive liposuction services targeting multiple body regions:

• Thighs
• Hips and buttocks
• Abdomen and waist
• Upper arms
• Back
• Inner knee
• Chest area
• Cheeks, chin, and neck
• Calves and ankles

Procedure Overview

The liposuction procedure involves several precise surgical steps designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted fat deposits. Initially, patients receive appropriate anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. Small, inconspicuous incisions are made, through which a sterile liquid solution is infused to minimize bleeding and trauma.

Candidate Qualifications

Ideal candidates for liposuction typically include:

• Adults within 30% of their ideal weight
• Individuals with firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
• Healthy individuals without life-threatening medical conditions
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic body contouring expectations

Important Considerations

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution or treatment for obesity. The procedure is designed to improve body contours and proportion by targeting specific fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.

Potential Risks and Complications

Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries potential risks, including:

• Uneven contours
• Skin or nerve damage
• Infection
• Irregular pigmentation
• Potential need for revisional surgery

Long-Term Results

Patients can expect long-lasting results by maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight gain may compromise the procedure's aesthetic outcome.
