Liposuction Before & After Case 108

This 65-year-old woman wanted her abdomen contoured with liposuction. A housewife in Indiana, this patient was an excellent candidate for liposuction because she was in good shape overall, but needed help eliminating her "pooch."

Liposuction is consistently among the top plastic surgery procedures performed each year, because it can do what seemingly no amount of crunches or healthy dieting can: It can eliminate stubborn pockets of fat.

This patient's procedure was completed as an outpatient surgery. Patients can choose whether to have local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Galante uses a tumescent liposuction technique that includes injection of a solution containing an anesthetic to make the procedure and recovery more comfortable.

This patient reported being pleased with her new waistline and said her clothes now fit much better.

If you exercise regularly and have a healthy diet but still can't seem to shed pockets of fat, request a consultation with Dr. Galante to find out whether liposuction might help you.
