Philadelphia Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction surgery has now become the most popular form of plastic surgery. This procedure is used to improve your figure in either one specific area, or in several areas. In today's world, liposculpture has become both a scientific procedure and an artistic one, incorporating a concern for your well-being and health during and after surgery with a genuine artistic sculpting of tissues. If you are considering liposculpture, there are several cosmetic surgeons in the Philadelphia area who can assist you with the procedure of your choice.

Your unwanted fat can be efficiently removed from your abs, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck and chin, saddlebags, thighs and buttocks, virtually any place that you've developed a little bit of extra padding.

Your surgeon will make a few small incisions in the targeted area site where a very small tube containing a laser fiber is inserted into the skin. The tube is then moved back and forth delivering the high-powered laser's energy directly to your fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away. The laser energy also interacts with the dermis, resulting in your skin tightening.
