Liposuction Can Help You Achieve a Slimmer Silhouette

Both women and men in Little Rock, AR, visit Dr. Michael Devlin for liposuction to help eliminate excess fat by sculpting the body and providing a smoother, slimmer figure. Some people, no matter how hard they exercise, have areas of stubborn fat that is difficult to get rid of. As you age and get older, your metabolism changes and the fat becomes resistant to exercise and diet. Liposuction, also known as Lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that helps to remove this unwanted fat. Liposuction is an excellent body contouring procedure, which is why it one of the most requested cosmetic surgery procedures by patients. .

Dr. Devlin has been performing Liposuction since the 1990’s and has performed thousands of procedures with outstanding results.

Understanding Treatment

Liposuction is a procedure designed to remove excess fat from various "trouble spots" of the body. Liposuction helps to create a more proportioned figure and improve the overall shape and contour of the body. Once an individual has undergone liposuction, they will enjoy a slimmer, tighter looking figure. Unlike a tummy tuck, which focuses solely on the abdominal region, liposuction can be applied nearly anywhere on the body.

The most common areas for liposuction are:

• Stomach
• Waist
• Arms
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Hips
• Bra Line
• Chin and Neckline

Dr. Devlin also specializes in mommy makeovers, which often involve liposuction in combination with other procedures such as a tummy tuck and breast augmentation to give a woman her pre-pregnancy body back.

Liposuction Consultation

The first step for a patient considering liposuction is to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Devlin. Dr. Devlin has been performing Liposuction since the 1990’s and has performed thousands of procedures with outstanding results. As with any other cosmetic surgery procedure, Dr. Devlin will assess your goals and expectations. During this consultation Dr. Devlin will want to make sure you are a good candidate for surgery, so come prepared to talk about your previous surgeries, as well as your health history. Dr. Devlin will determine elasticity of your skin, thickness of underlying fat and exact areas where you would like to see improvement.

Best Candidates for Liposuction

Liposuction is a great opportunity for both men and women to look their best. It is designed for individuals who are in fairly good shape, but have “problem areas” that do not respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates for liposuction are physically fit and exercise regularly, but can’t seem to eliminate that pesky, persistent bulge.

Remember that liposuction is not a replacement for diet and exercise, and it’s not a cure-all for preventing weight gain. You can still gain weight, even after receiving liposuction, if you fail to exercise and eat a balanced diet.
