Fat Reduction

Liposuction is America’s most popular cosmetic procedure, with over 258,000 procedures performed in 2018. This procedure can remove excess subcutaneous fat resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction can contour and shape common problem areas such as the stomach, hips, waist, thighs, buttocks, arms, legs, and neck to improve overall body shape and image.

Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. In this procedure, the surgeon creates tiny incisions and uses a thin suction device called a cannula to suction out subcutaneous fat deposits. Final results will generally take shape over 2 to 3 months after your liposuction in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

Have you ever wished you could get rid of the fat in one area and use it to enhance another? Stubborn fat often hangs on to problem areas like the abdomen, “love handles,” thighs, and more, while areas we’d like to enhance remain unchanged or even worsen with time. With modern plastic surgery techniques, our plastic surgeons can harvest fat from a troubled area and re-inject it to fill in depressions, wrinkles, and scars on your face, cheeks, lips, and more.

Fat transfer is an excellent option for patients who would otherwise turn to fillers for temporary volume increases or to lift procedures for more involved rejuvenation. Since fat transfer falls somewhere between the two, you can achieve all the natural results of temporary fillers with the lasting results of more involved procedures.
