Liposuction ("lipoplasty") has advanced throughout the past 10 years, becoming not only safer for the patient, but individualized to his/her needs. At the Arizona practice of Scottsdale liposuction surgeon Robert J. Spies, M.D., F.A.C.S., body contouring procedures are available to enhance a person's shape. There are some people who find that no matter how much they diet and exercise they still possess fatty, bulging areas. Therefore, with the help of Dr. Spies, and the support of his friendly staff, you can achieve a slimmer, better sculpted physique. His honesty and integrity will put patients at ease, creating a comfortable experience at his practice.
Although, liposuction is not a substitute for traditional weight loss methods, it can improve one's body contour. During an initial consultation, Dr. Spies will evaluate certain aspects of a patient to determine if a body contouring procedure is right for him/her.
Typical candidates for liposuction surgery are those who are near or at their ideal weight, but are left with stubborn fatty tissue. Additionally, liposuction patients should have firm, elastic skin, be physically healthy, and have realistic expectations and goals.
Once Dr. Spies has decided that surgery is the right choice for you, he will discuss the liposuction options available. Throughout the past decade, several new refinements and variations of liposuction have become available. The different techniques available include tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and super-wet liposuction technique. He can further discuss the details of each of the liposuction methods available during your visit.
