Atlanta and Roswell – Liposuction and Body Sculpting
Other Procedures
Sculpting and enhancing the body at our Atlanta-area office with liposuction has become one of the most popular ways to make a considerable improvement in body image. Struggling with stubborn pockets of fat can be a maddening problem, particularly when one is following a healthy diet and exercise program. Liposuction, first introduced in the United States more than 20 years ago, has been the solution to this bothersome problem for many people. In some cases, Dr. Brian Howard can combine liposuction with other cosmetic procedures, such as face lift or tummy tuck, to further enhance the results of cosmetic treatment.

Liposuction Techniques
The goal of liposuction is to remove pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Our office near Atlanta offers several liposuction techniques. Generally, the procedure involves the use of a cannula (tube) to suction fat from the body. Liposuction is most commonly performed on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and hips. The result is a more sculpted, shapely silhouette.
Power-assisted Liposuction
Power-assisted liposuction involves the insertion of a tube through a small incision in the area of fat. The tube will then vacuum the fat cells out. This form of liposuction is performed under anesthesia and generally only takes a few hours to complete. Some bruising and soreness is common for about 10 days after the treatment.
Tumescent Liposuction
Our Atlanta-area practice also offers tumescent liposuction, considered the safest form of the treatment because it gets rid of large pockets of fat with little blood loss. After an injection of saline solution, flexible metal tubes called cannulas are inserted into the problem area to remove the fat cells. Patients who have tumescent liposuction typically have very short recovery periods. Many are able to return to work the next day and resume exercise within a week.
Ultrasonic Liposuction
This method of liposuction removes large amounts of fat by using sound waves and tumescent saline injections. The sound waves liquefy the fat, making it more easily extracted. Ultrasonic liposuction also reduces skin dimpling.
To effectively maintain your newly sculpted shape, a healthy diet and regular exercise are recommended.
