Lipo-Sculpting Services

Do you worry about the bulging fat you can’t seem to lose? The gym and healthy eating can sometimes only get you so far. We provide easy, safe solutions for your stubborn fat bulges.

Silhouette Lipo-Sculpting, also known as liposuction, uses fat removal to reshape different areas of the body. This cosmetic surgery targets stubborn fat in areas such as hips, tummy, arms, and more. Lipo-sculpting is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in South Florida because of the transformative results.

Our doctors complete the Lipo-Sculpting procedure in the office with Tumescent Anesthesia, which is dispersed into the fatty areas being treated. Tumescent Anesthesia numbs the area and helps to decrease bleeding. The procedure can be safely done while the patient is awake. The recovery time is quick, and most patients return to regular activities within two to three days.

The removed fat cells are unable to grow back after the treatment. Any post-treatment weight loss or gain will disperse proportionally throughout the body. Liposuction is not a weight-loss fix, but a healthy lifestyle post-surgery can maintain the results.

What are the risks of liposuction ?

All surgeries come with risks of infection, bleeding scarring, or injury. Despite this, liposuction surgery under Tumescent Anesthesia has a high safety record. Reducing the use of general anesthesia has increased positive outcomes.

There is a risk of irregularities of the skin and scarring. It should be noted that tumescent Lipo-Sculpting with microcannulas causes the least risk for irregularities of the skin compared to other liposuction techniques. Incisions during the procedure often heal with nearly non-existent scars. Some patients may experience hyper-pigmentation of the skin where the incisions were made, but the darkening typically fades within a few months. The dark areas may persist if a patient has a genetic predisposition toward hyper-pigmentation.

Lipo-Sculpting should not improve or worsen cellulite. While Lipo-Sculpting may reduce cellulite on the body, it is not a cellulite treatment. Cellulite should not worsen from a Lipo-Sculpting procedure.

Subcision Services

before and after liposuction examplesIs dimpled cellulite a constant annoyance when you wear shorts or bikinis? Subcision targets cellulite, which is one of the most common cosmetic issues for women of all ages. Nearly every woman experiences cellulite during her lifetime, and it is most common on the thighs and buttocks. Wherever fat is stored on the body, cellulite has the greatest chance of appearing.

Doctors have used the subcision procedure for over 20 years as a simple, trusted surgical technique to cut the fibrous bands beneath the skin, allowing the tension that causes cellulite to release. The International Journal of Dermatology reports only subcision may be an effective procedure for patients who have level 2 or 3 cellulite (obvious cellulite without the contraction of leg muscles). Proper diet and exercise are necessary to maintain long-term results. If necessary, the treatment can be repeated.

Subcision FAQ

Who is a subcision candidate?

Those who have clearly visible cellulite lesions on the thighs and butt without effort are suitable for subcision. If you have a local or active infection, a history of keloids or hypertrophic scars, a coagulation disorder or use medication that may interfere with local anesthetics or with the process of coagulation, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, then subcision is not for you.

What can i expect with this procedure?

Our doctors use local anesthesia and a special subcision needle for the procedure. The local anesthesia allows the patient to receive the treatment in-office rather than a hospital setting. It is abnormal for a patient to scar. Bruising is common and typically takes 30-60 to heal.

Flaccidity or localized fat will not improve after subcision. 

Diet and exercise are recommended to keep the results after the procedure. Future weight gain may result in cellulite post-procedure.
