In order to obtain beautiful, proportionate results, liposuction must be performed by a highly trained plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Larry C. Leverett. He has completed many years of training at reputable medical institutions, and he has performed thousands of highly successful liposuction procedures. Read on to learn more about liposuction surgery and how to schedule your consultation with the accomplished Arizona liposuction provider Dr. Larry Leverett.
Liposuction: How Is It Performed?Liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods. During the surgery, a small incision is made and a pencil-sized cannula (tube) is passed to suction the fat. One or two stitches are used to close the incision. After surgery, you might experience some bruising and swelling which will decrease over the next few weeks. Most of Dr. Leverett's Arizona liposuction patients are able to return to work within one week of their treatments, and they are able to resume all of their regular activities within one month.
After liposuction, many patients find that they feel more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes, including bikinis and tight tops. Most patients also report that they feel more at ease with their body.
