Liposuction Atlanta, Georgia — Fat Removal & Body Contouring Surgery

Liposuction is a great way for patients to look fit and fabulous. While liposuction/fat removal surgery is not a weight loss procedure and does not treat obesity, it is a fantastic body contouring technique to remove excess fat (unwanted fat) in troublesome areas. Dr. Amy Alderman spends a good deal of time examining the patient and making sure that the skin quality is sufficient for an optimal outcome. It is important to not just remove fat and the unwanted volume (by reducing fat cells in the subcutaneous fat/subcutaneous adipose tissue) but also ensure that the surrounding tissue will tighten and shrink to the new contour. For patients with loose skin, extra skin, or excess skin, especially after significant weight loss or major weight loss, your plan may require surgery such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) as part of surgical body contouring.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure (liposuction procedure) and one of today’s most common cosmetic surgery and aesthetic surgery options for surgical body contouring.

What Can Liposuction Do for Me?

Fat removal can be the perfect procedure for fine-tuning and trimming multiple areas of the body. The chin and neck region is one of Dr. Alderman’s favorite areas to perform liposuction surgery.  It always amazes her how rejuvenating neck liposuction can be, often mimicking a much larger plastic surgery procedure such as a neck or facelift. 

Below are the most common areas of this body contouring treatment:

  • Abdomen
  • Waist/Love Handles
  • Flanks
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Back
  • Arms (Upper arms)
  • Calves
  • Under the chin
  • Neck
  • Bra roll
  • Pre-axillary fullness (area above the outside of the breast)

Liposuction procedures on the upper back/bra roll region along with the back hips and flanks can make a significant improvement in body contours and a very slimming silhouette.  Women especially love to have the bra roll and fullness above their breasts near their axilla (armpits) reduced. Arm liposuction is a great option to provide improved definition of the upper arm muscles and provide a slim arm contour. Abdominal liposuction, especially around the belly button, can give both men and women significant confidence in tight fitting clothing and bathing suits.  The lower abdominal area, called the mons pubis, can also be reduced with liposuction.  And, last but not least, all women want a gap between their legs.  Liposuction can greatly improve the inner and outer (saddlebag) area of the thighs and inner knees.
