Liposuction Jacksonville

LiposuctionLiposuction, Lipo, or lipoplasty is a body-sculpting procedure utilized by a plastic surgeon or cosmetic surgeon to remove fat that is unresponsive to dieting and exercising. This cosmetic surgery can be applied to nearly any area of the body and is commonly used in multiple areas during fat reduction surgery. Lipo slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.  When used by a skilled plastic surgeon, the cosmetic procedure effectively reduces love handles, saddlebags, a double chin, a bulge around the waistline, or other unsightly fatty deposits.

Are you a Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is not intended to be a replacement for proper exercise and diet. Instead, liposuction is a cosmetic reduction surgery for stubborn areas where fat accumulates and doesn’t respond to traditional methods. When used on a combination of several areas of the body, both traditional liposuction, and the latest ultrasonic liposuction can provide a more proportioned body appearance.

Ideal candidates for liposuction are men or women who are already in good physical condition but are struggling with stubborn areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight-loss substitution. It is, however, a tool for a trained plastic surgeon to use as a body sculpting technique that can produce fantastic results.

Our qualified team will gladly assist you in understanding the costs of your cosmetic procedure and will explain how you might finance liposuction surgery.

LiposuctionGeneral Procedure for Liposuction

Liposuction is performed by a plastic surgeon using general anesthesia with the patient asleep during surgery. Depending upon the location of the trouble area, the cosmetic surgeon may choose to numb the area with local anesthesia and the patient remains awake during the liposuction procedure. 

The plastic surgeon will insert a narrow tube or cannula that will be used to vacuum out fatty tissue from beneath the skin. During your liposuction surgery or ultrasonic liposuction procedure in Jacksonville, Dr. Hardy will determine the correct amount of fat to be removed by massaging the skin and squeezing the tissue. 

After eliminating the excess fat, the incisions are closed by applying a compression dressing or bandage to the area to prevent bleeding, reduce swelling, and support the affected area.

You have options.

There are several techniques for liposuction that Dr. Hardy makes available to his patients. As a cosmetic surgeon, he performs both traditional liposuction and vaser liposelection. 

Traditional liposuction involves the suction of fat from problem areas after a solution has been injected to minimize the discomfort and bruising associated with cosmetic surgery. 

Vaser liposelection allows the plastic surgeon to use gentle ultrasound waves (ultrasonic liposuction) to dissolve the troublesome fat particles prior to being evacuated with suction.  

Together with Dr. Hardy, you can decide whether traditional liposuction or ultrasonic liposuction is best for you. Other individual needs can be discussed during your initial consultation with Dr. Hardy. Traditional liposuction and the new ultrasonic liposuction surgery are both proven procedures that can benefit those patients who want to remove unattractive fatty deposits.
