If you are frustrated because diet and exercise are not producing the results you want to achieve, you may choose to undergo liposuction surgery (“lipoplasty”). Joseph A. Mele, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a Walnut Creek Liposuction surgeon who has helped many individuals eliminate stubborn fatty deposits through plastic surgery. At his practice, many San Francisco Liposuction patients have benefitted from this fat removal procedure. Dr. Mele can help to slim specific areas of your body, while providing a better-sculpted, toned physique.
Using a narrow tube (cannula) in the targeted area, Dr. Mele can effectively remove excess fat. The abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, and chin are common regions where liposuction is performed. A specific technique will be used for each patient, such as tumescent liposuction or ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Dr. Mele will further discuss these options with you during an initial consultation. At that time, he will evaluate your health and goals, and determine if liposuction is right for you.
Commonly, liposuction is performed in combination with other procedures, such as tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”), breast augmentation surgery (“augmentation mammaplasty”), and/or breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”). When a combination of one or more of these procedures is performed on post-pregnancy patients, this is often termed a “ Mommy Makeover.”
