About Liposuction

Liposuction removes deposits of fat from specific, pre-determined areas of your body through a simple, minimally invasive procedure. Liposuction is performed to eliminate fat from many areas of the body, with the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, flanks, and upper arms most commonly targeted. Contrary to popular belief, not all body fat is bad. Instead, there are different types; some are beneficial and vital for your health. For example, essential fat plays a significant role in hormone regulation.

But it is the stubborn, unwanted, and unnecessary fat that is targeted for removal with Liposuction. First pioneered by European plastic surgeons in the 1970s [2], liposuction technology and techniques have rapidly undergone significant improvements to give us the full range of effective fat-removal abilities that surgeons utilize today. With these advances, patients are able to achieve smoother, sleeker, more toned, and youthful-looking bodies with less discomfort and a shorter recovery than ever before.

Hear From the Expert

Dr. Albert Discusses Liposuction

“When I started my plastic surgery career, surgeons were beginning to move away from simple suction liposuction and towards ultrasonic liposuction. Ultrasonic liposuction was the first generation of energy-based Liposuction instrumentation. I was fortunate to get a lot of experience with ultrasonic liposuction since most of the older plastic surgeons were set in their ways and did not adopt the technology. At the time, it was considered state-of-the-art, as the fat was liquified and then suctioned out of the body.

“As laser companies were growing and trying to sell more lasers, smart liposuction was developed. This technology became extremely popular because lasers were considered a newer way to remove fat, and they claimed it tightened skin. However, I began to see that my results were not only superior to the Smart Lipo technique, but I also saw a lot of complications from laser liposuction machines. After treating irregularities and liposuction deformities created by other surgeons, I developed a method to treat these problems. Liposuction revision has become a large part of my practice.” In conjunction with Cartessa, Dr. Albert is the leading provider for Lipo Ai (Artificial Intelligence is the future, the future is now) With the introduction of Lipo AI which uses Artificial Intelligence Dr. Albert has the confidence that he can not only correct Liposuction deformities and inconsistencies we now have the ability and technology from preventing this from happening.

“The latest advancement in liposuction is the development of Lipo Ai. I use Lipo AI in combination with PAL - power assisted liposuction. My results have evolved further with this simple technology, with my Liposuction revision cases from other surgeons getting even better than before. With PAL, I can remove and sculpt fat more efficiently. I use the technology to widely suction an area which allows me to get more skin retraction and tighter results while still using a non-energy-based device. An additional benefit is that the fat that I suction with the PAL system is perfect for fat grafting into the buttocks, chest, arms, face, and other areas.”

What can Liposuction do?

Benefits of Liposuction

Not only is liposuction extremely safe and minimally invasive, but the results are almost immediate and can last a lifetime. A more toned physique is within reach! Removing the layer of fat masking your muscles can finally reveal your hard-earned results from the gym. Increased self-esteem, more confidence, and a healthier body are just some of the benefits you will see from Liposuction in Boca Raton.

Liposuction Candidates

If you are wondering if you could be a candidate for this commonly performed procedure, the good news is that many people are! Healthy adults within 20-30 pounds of their ideal body weight are excellent candidates for liposuction. In addition, there is no maximum age limit for liposuction if the patient is in good health, free from certain underlying medical conditions, and has good skin elasticity. However, it’s important to note that liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution.

What kind of Liposuction is best?

Dr. Albert uses Lipo AI and PAL, which stands for power-assisted Liposuction. Dr. Albert prefers Lipo AI and PAL lipo because it gives him more control while he is contouring a patient. For example, laser liposuction uses heat to melt the fat prior to removal. However, this does not give the surgeon a lot of control over the amount of fat being melted. Oftentimes, the fat surrounding the treatment area also becomes overheated. This can create contour irregularities, as well as prevent skin from contracting smoothly. Hence we use Lipo AI. It is completely safe, there are no end hits or burns due to the introduction of Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Albert uses PAL and Lipo AI because he feels it is the most accurate liposuction technology, the safest for his patients, and gives optimal results.

Before a Liposuction procedure, patients are administered either local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia. Once it takes effect, they will not experience any pain during the procedure. Pain medication is prescribed to manage any discomfort during recovery, but most patients find that they only need it for the first day or two after their procedure.

This common procedure can target many different trouble areas on the body, including:

  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Axilla
  • Back
  • Breasts
  • Chin and neck
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Hips
  • Knees
  • Thighs

Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective way to improve body shape and contouring. Because the liposuction cannula is so small and enters the body through tiny incisions, the procedure is minimally-invasive and carries a lower risk than other more invasive procedures.

As technology has evolved, so have the tools used to perform Liposuction. The modern cannula is a very small and narrow instrument that leaves tiny scars unnoticeable to many. Most of Dr. Albert's patients have no visible scars after liposuction. Any redness will fade over time.

Fat cells removed via liposuction are permanently removed. We always recommend a healthy lifestyle and moderate exercise.

A tummy tuck repairs the abdominal muscles and liposuction removes fat. Liposuction can tighten skin when utilized with Lipo Ai however excessive laxity of skin will require skin removal resulting in a tummy tuck.

Because Liposuction is cosmetic surgery, health insurance does not cover liposuction.
