Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty ("fat modeling") or “liposculpture”, is a procedure that removes unwanted excess fat from many different parts of the body. Areas include the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, back rolls, neck and arms.
Liposuction should only be performed on relatively healthy patients who have already incorporated diet and exercise regularly into their lifestyle but still cannot lose the proper amount of weight. Some of the traditional, surgical forms include suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) and power-assisted liposuction (PAL). All of these options are performed with precision by Raj P. Chowdary, M.D. and during your consultation he can explain each option and help you make the decision that’s best for your body.
Watch our video on LipoLite Laser Liposuction, an alternative to traditional liposuction using laser sculpting and a local anesthetic for faster, safer results.
In many cases, Dr. Chowdary performs Lipolite Laser Liposuction. In fact, Allentown Plastic Surgery Center was one of the first to introduce Laser Liposution to the Lehigh Valley. It is a convenient, state-of-the-art alternative technique that uses lasers to dissolve fat and coagulate blood vessels in the fat, reducing post operative bruising. The heating effect of the laser also stimulates collagen, causing the skin to retract and tighten on its own. Traditional liposuction alone does not have these advantages.
Having prior experience in both forms of liposuction and body contouring techniques allows Raj P. Chowdary, M.D. to more reliably choose the best course of action when it comes to eliminating stubborn fat. Call (610) 434-1269 or contact us via our online form for your liposuction consultation today.
