While I enjoy every facet of my practice, I have found that liposuction is a very powerful tool whether used alone or in conjunction with other aesthetic procedures. For example, many patients who come in in for breast augmentations also choose to have liposuction performed on the localized fat deposits beneath their chin or neck. A woman who wants to have a nose job performed will many times elect to also have the fat removed from beneath her chin or neck.
Many women share one common frustration – stubborn fat on the back of the upper arm and bra line that is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction of the upper arm and bra fat can be very rewarding to the patient who is the right candidate. Significant changes after liposuction can be readily seen within 4 weeks post-operative and continue to improve over many months, stabilizing at one year. Liposuction is an excellent adjunct to breast augmentation, breast lifts, rhinoplasty, and abdominoplasty.
These types of combination procedures are very effective when performed in the same aesthetic region, such as the rhinoplasty and neck/chin liposuction or the breast lift with liposuction of the bra fat.
