Body Contouring Liposuction in Tampa, FL

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a safe and effective surgical procedure designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted fat deposits from various body areas, including the waist, hips, arms, thighs, and neck. The procedure sculpts excess fat to enhance body contours and bring natural features into better balance.

Procedure Highlights

• Targets specific fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Provides refined body shape and improved contours
• Results can be permanent with maintained healthy lifestyle

How Liposuction Works

Dr. Politis performs liposuction by inserting a small cannula through a minimal skin incision. Using precise suctioning techniques, excess fat is carefully removed by squeezing and massaging the tissue. The procedure duration ranges from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect full healing within 4-6 weeks after the procedure. Initial recovery involves temporary side effects such as:

• Mild to moderate pain and soreness
• Temporary numbness in treated areas
• Bruising lasting up to 6 weeks
• Gradual reduction in swelling over 3-6 months
