Body Contouring

Being comfortable with your body can influence the way you interact with people and dictate your lifestyle choices. Many people have stubborn pockets of body fat that don't go away with diet and exercise.  If you are considering a body sculpting procedure, our plastic surgery practice offers a number of body contouring surgeries that can help you achieve a firm, toned figure.

Liposuction

One of the easiest and safest ways to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat on the body is liposuction. Many areas of the body can be unresponsive to diet and exercise, but the appearance of excess fat on a person's body can take a toll on his or her self-esteem. By targeting localized areas of the body and face, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, neck, and upper arms, Dr. Jones can help patients attain a firmer, more sculpted body. Using a Vaser liposuction system, which has advanced ultrasound technology, Dr. Jones can remove fat cells from these problem areas, leading to smoother skin and a fitter overall appearance. Liposuction also is effective for breast reduction. If you are considering liposuction as a body sculpting solution, contact our plastic surgery practice to find out about the different techniques we use. The Vaser system also causes skin tightening, as well as reduction of fat cells.

Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular and longest-lasting plastic surgery treatments available. The benefits of liposuction include:

* Improved Appearance - Areas of the body resistant to diet and exercise are often dramatically improved with liposuction surgery.
* Improved Health - Whether through diet and exercise or through liposuction surgery, the removal of excess body fat can be good for your overall health.
* Cellulite Removal - Although there is no cure for cellulite, liposuction surgery can reduce the appearance of cellulite in both men and women.
