Liposuction

Almost all of us have some area on our bodies that we wish we could improve in some way. While diet and exercise is always the first recommended solution for unwanted fat, in some cases, patients may be candidates for removing fat volume through liposuction.

Liposuction is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving body contours and proportion. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite—the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks—or loose saggy skin.

Hartwater Aesthetics offers patients liposuction procedures subject to approval by our physician after a full medical consultation. Hartwater focuses on localized areas of liposuction, meaning that small areas of stubborn fat can be treated to remove volume and achieve a better contour. For those struggling with obesity and looking to remove substantial fat volume over large areas of the body, our medical staff will typically recommend consulting with a bariatric surgeon, who can better guide patients through a full weight loss journey.

For patients considering liposuction, it is recommended to consider the full aesthetic implications of the procedure. Anytime fat is rapidly removed from the body there is a strong likelihood that the skin's natural contraction will not match the fat volume displaced, leaving loose skin on the area treated. For this reason, liposuction cases at Hartwater Aesthetics are almost always paired with skin tightening procedures such as BodyTite, FaceTite, or Morpheus8 to achieve optimal results.
