Millions of Americans struggle with their weight and achieving the body shape they desire. For many people, diet and exercise can only go so far. Liposuction is a surgical body enhancement procedure that not only removes excess fat but reshapes and re-contours the body as well. The result is a slimmer, more appropriately proportioned, and well-contoured figure. Liposuction can be performed on a number of areas of the body including the legs, arms, hips, waist, back, and more.
Liposuction in East Lansing
During a liposuction procedure, small incisions are made at the desired treatment points and a small tube called a cannula is inserted. Excess fat is loosened by the cannula as it is directed back and forth. As the fat is loosened, it is removed from the body through a suctioning surgical vacuum that is attached to the end of the cannula. Dr. Colony performs liposuction procedures for patients in East Lansing, Okemos, and surrounding areas. Those looking for a non-surgical body enhancement procedure may be interested in CoolSculpting.

Liposuction Recovery in East Lansing
At the completion of liposuction surgery, compression garments are often secured over the areas that have been treated. In some cases, temporary tubes are inserted into the incision sites to help drain fluids. It is important to remember that liposuction is a surgical procedure that often requires a significant amount of downtime, and it involves a recovery process that does take time and patience. If you are considering liposuction, be sure to comply with all post-operative instructions to help ensure your comfort and safe, smooth recovery.
