Liposuction has become a very commonly performed procedure, much in demand for those wishing to get rid of stubborn fat deposits to refine their body contours. Increased frequency of the procedure and advances in how it's performed, have made it extremely safe and effective.

Liposuction is performed by inserting a stainless steel tube, or cannula, into small incisions in the target areas. Fat is then suctioned out using a powerful vacuum. In tumescent liposuction—the preferred procedure for most cosmetic surgeons—Dr. Chhatre injects local anesthesia into the fat deposits, which causes them to swell, or become tumescent. This makes it easier for the fat to be removed, and reduces the amount of blood and fluid lost during the procedure. In addition, the anesthetic makes the procedure pain-free. Using local anesthetic rather than general anesthetic also greatly reduces the risk of complications from the procedure.

For the best results from liposuction, be sure to work with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with liposuction. This kind of body contouring is as much an art as it is a science, and if your surgeon has successfully performed a large number of these procedures, you're much more likely to be pleased with your own results.

Dr. Matt Chhatre is a plastic surgeon in Missouri experienced in performing liposuction. If you'd like more information about liposuction techniques and procedures, please contact our Lee's Summit and Kansas City, Missouri offices to schedule a confidential consultation.
