Liposuction

Liposuction is technically known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy." It is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, back, chin, cheeks and neck. The best liposuction Phoenix, Arizona candidates are people with a normal weight and firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain body areas.

During liposuction, Dr. Leverett makes several small incisions, through which he inserts a surgical instrument called a cannula. This device helps dislodge and suction out the unwanted fat cells. While the treated areas are swollen following the procedure, the swelling typically lasts only a couple days. Most of Dr. Leverett's Phoenix liposuction patients are able to enjoy their beautiful results with a week after the procedure.

As a foremost cosmetic surgeon Phoenix patients seek out for their body enhancement needs, Dr. Leverett also offers sophisticated combination treatments. One of the more popular combination procedures is liposuction in conjunction with tummy tuck in Phoenix. In addition, some of Dr. Leverett's butt lift patients combine this procedure with liposuction to achieve more proportionate overall body contours.
