Liposuction in Michigan

If you are considering Liposuction in Michigan, or Suction-assisted lipectomy schedule a consultation with female plastic surgeon Dr Mariam Awada. Liposuction is a highly effective technique used to sculpt and improve your body contour. Liposuction, or fat suction is employed to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body with minimal scarring. These areas may include the chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, or back. For men, common areas include the flanks (love handles), the abdomen, the back, or enlarged male breasts (a condition known as gynecomastia). Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction, but a method of removing unwanted localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are physically healthy patients with pockets of excess fat in localized areas who are psychologically stable and realistic in their expectations. The best results are achieved in patients with good skin tone and quality that allows their skin to conform to the new body contour.
Recontouring of the body is achieved by removing fat deposits using a cannula (hollow tube) and a suction device. The cannula is inserted through strategically placed small incisions and the fat cells that lie deep beneath the skin are removed. The length of the procedure varies (usually 1-4 hours) based on your body habitus and the amount of areas that are treated. The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient day surgery. However, an overnight stay may be required if a large volume of fat is being removed or it is combined with other procedures such as a tummy tuck.
