Liposuction surgery also is known as fat removal surgery or liposculpture, is the permanent removal of stubborn fatty deposits that are difficult to shift despite a regular exercise and healthy eating regime.
Liposuction in Aventura and Miami Florida removes fat from specific areas of your body by sucking it out through a tube. It is most often performed on your buttocks, hips, thighs, and stomach to give better shape and definition to these problem areas. It is not a weight loss tool and is best performed on people who are a normal weight and in areas where the skin is tight.

Liposuction at DiGeronimo M.D. Advanced Plastic Surgery is typically carried out as a day case procedure under local or general anesthetic and takes between one and two hours depending on the amount of fat you are having removed and the area being treated.

Dr. DiGeronimo will make a small incision in the area being treated and insert a thin plastic tube called a cannula. The cannula is used to loosen the fat. The other end of this cannula is attached to a powerful high-pressure vacuum and fat deposits are removed quickly and efficiently from beneath your skin. Some surgeons inject solutions into the area being treated, known as a wet technique. Others use dry liposuction.

What are the benefits of liposuction?

There are a number of benefits of liposuction including:

• Instant results.
• A firmer, more contoured and proportional appearance.
• Improved health due to fat loss.
• Often an improved sense of wellbeing.
• Permanent body fat loss so even if you increase your body fat then it will not return to the treated areas.
• Helping weight loss patients lose the last remaining pockets of fat.
• A wider choice of clothes.
• Removing a certain type of benign fatty tumor known as lipomas.
• Treating gynecomastia, an embarrassing condition in which men develop fatty breast tissue.
• Reducing excessive sweating and chafing by targeting sweat glands and reducing the body’s ability to produce sweat in these areas.

The amount of time off work will depend on the extent of your liposuction. If you only had a small amount of fat removed, you should be able to return to work within a few days but more substantial liposuctions may require up to two weeks off work. You can gently return to normal exercise after three to four weeks but you should avoid strenuous activity for ten to 12 weeks.
