Chicago Liposuction
Liposuction is a great technique to help tailor areas of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet. Liposuctin can help create more definition in the abdomen, flanks, legs and chest area. In the appropriate patient, it can also create areas of tighter skin and better contour.
For liposuction to be successful, the quality of the skin should be good. This means that areas of stretch marks or very loose skin are not areas that respond well to liposuction and may require a tummy tuck instead. Liposuction results are best if there are pockets of fats, not overall increased weight and fat.
Liposuction has improved over the years with smaller cannulas and less invasive techniqes. Dr. Lee minimizes contour problems by leaving the most superficial layer of fat to create a natural smoothness.
Although liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, Dr. Lee has witnessed many of his Chicago lipousction patients lose weight after surgery because they are inspired by their results and this motivates them to exercise more and eat healthier.
