About Ottawa Liposuction
While not a substitute for weight loss, liposuction can help achieve smooth body contours. It is ideally suited for patients who are relatively close to their ideal body weight, but have localized collections of fatty tissue that are resistant to diet and exercise. These pockets of fatty tissue are often genetically pre-determined, and can be very difficult to remove without surgery. A liposuction treatment performed by Dr. Silverman can address most areas of the body, including:
Neck
Abdomen
Flanks
Back
Thighs
Breasts
At Ottawa Plastic Surgery, Dr. Silverman typically performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure. The procedure removes fat through several small incisions, resulting in minimal scars. Dr. Silverman performs the popular tumescent approach, which surgeons have used for many years.
After the procedure, you will wear a compression garment for the first few weeks to help retain your new shape. Most patients can return to work within a few days to a week following their liposuction. The results of the procedure are long lasting provided that you maintain a stable weight and pattern of exercise.
While liposuction can help achieve smooth and beautiful body contours, it is important to understand that it is not an effective treatment for cellulite or dimpled skin. For those interested in more extensive body contouring, liposuction can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck or a thigh, buttock and arm lift.
