Understanding Liposuction: Precision Body Contouring

Liposuction, or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to remove modest amounts of superficial fat from specific body areas. This technique targets localized fat deposits that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise methods.

Ideal Candidacy for Liposuction

Suitable candidates for liposuction typically include:

• Individuals at or near ideal body weight
• Patients with specific body areas resistant to weight loss
• Those seeking targeted body contouring

Common Treatment Areas

Liposuction can effectively address fat deposits in multiple body regions:

• For Women: Abdomen, hips, thighs, inner knees, neck
• For Men: Chest, neck, abdomen, flanks ("love handles")

Advanced Liposuction Techniques

The Kryger Institute offers multiple liposuction approaches, including traditional and ultrasonic techniques. While various methods exist, our surgeons prioritize patient safety and proven efficacy in selecting the most appropriate technique.

Surgical Approach

Typical liposuction procedures involve:

• 1-2 hour surgical timeframe
• Small, inconspicuous incisions (less than quarter-inch)
• Options for twilight or general anesthesia

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves managed pain, expected swelling, and gradual healing. Most patients return to work within 3-4 days, with full results visible after 6-8 weeks.

Important Considerations

• Not a weight loss solution
• Results dependent on individual body composition
• Potential genetic factors in scarring
