Liposuction
Serving Kansas City & Lee's Summit, Missouri
Liposuction has recently become one of the most sought after procedures. Recent studies have shown that genetics, more than lifestyle, determines the overall shape of our body, and by as much as 80%. This means that despite great efforts in terms of diet and exercise, you may very well have stubborn fat deposits in your tummy, legs, hips, and saddlebags that you simply cannot get rid of. Liposuction can give you great results with relatively shorter recovery time than many procedures. Although liposuction removes fat, it is best performed on patients who are not markedly overweight.
Liposuction can be performed on many different areas, including the upper arms, love handles, hips, inner and outer thighs, neck, and buttocks. Although many variations on the procedure exist, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Chhatre prefers tumescent liposuction, which gives the great results with minimal side effects. This procedure can target all your problem areas and help you to achieve the ideal body that you desire.
Good candidates for liposuction are those that are within 30 to 40 pounds of their ideal body weight and want to have localized fat removed.
Liposuction's only limitation is that it cannot remedy the inelastic skin or lax muscles that sometimes result from long-term chronic weight gain. If your skin or muscles have become stretched, you might get better results from other Body Contouring procedures such as a Tummy Tuck or Thigh Lift.
Dr. Chhatre performs liposuction in his state-of-the-art Ambulatory Surgical Center to ensure maximum privacy and quality of care for his patients.
