Dr. Jennifer Emmett of Emmett Plastic Surgery is a doctor who works with patients in the Lone Tree, CO area who are interested in improving their appearance with elective surgical procedures. One of the most popular treatments available in her practice is liposuction.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a common surgical procedure that is used to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body and improving the contours of the body. This procedure is performed with a long tube that suctions the fat out of the body called a cannula. This cannula is inserted into the body through a small incision to greatly reduce scarring. Dr. Jennifer Emmett performs this procedure in a way to ensure even removal of unwanted fat and more natural-looking contours.
Areas for liposuction
Liposuction can be used on many different areas of the body. These include the:
- Midsection
- Flanks
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Arms
How long do the results of liposuction last?
Because liposuction removes fat cells permanently from the body, the results from this treatment are also long-lasting. However, the remaining fat cells can grow, which can combat the results that patients have achieved. It is best that patients who are interested in liposuction already be focused on a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise to maintain their results over time.
