Liposuction In Northern Michigan

What Is Liposuction?

Certain areas of the body may not readily respond to conventional weight loss methods. Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical solution for targeting stubborn fat in various trouble spots such as the back, abdomen, love handles, thighs (inner and outer), knees, calves, and upper arms. Liposuction is one of the most popular, fast and effective ways to remove fat and is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in the United States, ranking second only to breast augmentation. At Copper Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, liposuction procedures are conducted under either general or local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Our skilled plastic surgeons typically utilize the advanced tumescent technique for liposuction in Traverse City.

Liposuction Procedure

The specific technique utilized for your liposuction procedure will be determined based on discussions between you and your doctor, tailored to your individual aesthetic goals:

  • Tumescent Liposuction: Your doctor will delicately administer a sterile solution to soften fat and anesthetize the targeted area. This fluid also constricts vessels to facilitate a safe and effective procedure.
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Powerful sound waves travel beneath the skin to rupture the fat cells’ walls, making them easier to remove with reverse pressure.
  • BodyTite: Radiofrequency energy induces skin tightening.

During your consultation, your doctor will explain the advantages of each technique. On the day of your procedure, appropriate anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort. Your doctor will make small incisions in the skin to insert a thin tube called a cannula. This cannula delivers one or more of the aforementioned services (tumescent liquid, sound waves, lasers) to break apart unwanted fat reserves.

The loosened fat deposits are then suctioned out of the body through the cannula. Your surgeon will meticulously close all incisions to minimize scarring. Liposuction can be performed on multiple areas during one session, or you can opt for additional body contouring procedures during subsequent visits to the clinic.
