Body Sculpting Liposuction Toledo, OH | Craig W. Colville, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction in Toledo

Dr. Craig Colville performs liposuction to remove stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise. These isolated fat deposits, often caused by genetics, hormones, or age, can be challenging for even physically fit individuals to eliminate.

Liposuction: A Precision Body Contouring Procedure

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but a surgical technique designed to sculpt areas disproportionate to an individual's overall physique. The goal is to create a smooth, natural-looking body contour.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

• Maintain a stable, healthy weight
• Have good skin elasticity
• Possess realistic expectations about procedure outcomes
• Be in good overall health

Liposuction Procedure Details

Dr. Colville utilizes advanced techniques including power-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction to minimize postoperative swelling and bruising. The procedure involves making small incisions and using specialized instruments to sculpt and remove targeted fat deposits.

Common Treatment Areas

• Abdomen
• Hips
• Thighs
• Waistline
• Male chest

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure. Most patients can return to work within a few days to two weeks. Results develop gradually as swelling subsides, with final outcomes visible after several months.

Key Considerations

• Maximum safe fat removal is 5-7 pounds per procedure
• Ideal BMI should be 30 or lower
• Results can be long-lasting with proper diet and exercise

Alternative Options

For patients seeking less invasive options, Dr. Colville offers CoolSculpting®, a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that can reduce fat in treated areas by up to 25-40%.
