Often used in conjunction with other plastic surgery techniques, liposuction can help many patients reach their cosmetic goals by treating areas that are typically resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can be beneficial to both men and women. Contact our Salt Lake City, Utah-area practice to learn more about liposuction or to schedule a private consultation with Dr. J. Gregory Kjar.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture, or lipectomy, is a common plastic surgery treatment in which excess fat is removed. Although diet and exercise are the preferred methods of weight loss, some fat deposits may not respond to these efforts. Salt Lake City, Utah-area plastic surgeon, J. Gregory Kjar, uses liposuction to carefully and precisely remove excess fat deposits. Fat cells are removed using a cannula (tube) and aspirator (suction device). Contact the office of our plastic surgeon to learn more about this treatment option.
Liposuction of the Abdomen
Liposuction of the abdomen is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery treatments available. Beneficial to both men and women, liposuction can easily remove abdominal fat located near the skin.
Liposuction of the Hips
Liposuction of the hips is an effective body contouring technique in which excess fat deposits are removed. Additional body contouring procedures may be required to achieve the desired appearance.
Liposuction of the Thighs
Liposuction of the thighs is generally performed in a series of surgeries spaced out over one-month intervals. One surgery encompassing the entire circumference of the thigh produces excessive swelling and a lengthened recovery time.
Liposuction of the Flanks
Liposuction of the flanks is a common plastic surgery option among men. The flanks are located just above the belt line on the sides and back. Salt Lake City, Utah-area residents interested in liposuction surgery can contact Dr. J. Gregory Kjar for more information.
Liposuction of the Buttocks
Liposuction of the buttocks is a way to reshape that area of the body, rather than simply removing fatty tissue. Liposuction can be used to create a symmetrical, smooth, and tight appearance.
Liposuction of the Arms
Liposuction of the arms creates a slimmer, more contoured look. Liposuction of the arms has a high rate of patient satisfaction. For more information, contact Dr. Kjar’s Salt Lake City, Utah-area office for a liposuction consultation.
Liposuction of the Breasts
Liposuction of the breasts is an effective and less invasive form of breast reduction. Large, heavy breasts can cause chronic neck and back pain. Liposuction can remove excess fat and have a natural lifting effect on the breast.
