UNDERSTANDING OBESITY AND BODY FAT

The human body tends to rejuvenate itself regularly. Many types of cells, such as skin, have short lifecycles. They die off, and new ones are created in an ongoing cycle. However, that is not the case with all cell types, namely fat cells. By the time you reach adulthood, the number and location of fat cells in your body are fixed. If you gain fat, those cells enlarge to accommodate it. If you lose fat, they shrink. That is why it seems as if every calorie goes straight to your hips, abdomen, or whatever your problem area may be.

BEFORE & AFTER

About the tumescent liposuction procedure

Tumescent liposuction in NYC can end the frustration of fighting against genetics to contour your body. It actually removes fat cells for permanent results. Even if you gain weight after treatment, it will not be distributed in the same way because you have fewer fat cells in the treated area.

Areas that can be treated include:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks
  • Back
  • Inner/outer thighs
  • Arms
  • Submental or “double chin”
  • Ankles
  • Knees

Tumescent liposuction is an outpatient procedure and does not require general anesthesia. A tumescent solution (local anesthetic) is injected into the targeted fatty tissue. It firms the fat and numbs the area, making liposuction more comfortable and efficient.

  • More precise than traditional liposuction
  • Smaller incision, with less scarring
  • Permanent body contouring
