Liposuction: Targeting Your Fat Cells

Liposuction targets very specific fat cells to permanently remove them from your body. In the hands of a gifted plastic surgeon, liposuction treatment offers wonderful, long lasting results for a natural, smooth, appearance.

Liposuction specifically treats adipose fat cells in the cheeks, chin, neck, chest area, upper arms, abdomen, waist, hips, back, buttocks, thighs, inner knees, calves and ankles.  Adipose fat cells are often responsible for the appearance of weight gain.  Such cells are derived from lipoblasts and serve to insulate the body, while storing energy, as well as, producing important hormones that support your endocrine system.  Since adipose fat cells play an important role in the function of our bodies, liposuction is generally recommended for small fat deposits that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods.  Large volume liposuction is available for qualified candidates.

Interestingly, the number of fat cells you have in adolescence is generally equal to the number of fat cells you have in adulthood. The one change you may experience is the size of your fat cells. As fat cells increase in size, you gain weight. Some fat cells do not respond to traditional weight loss methods, such as, diet and exercise. To make matters worse, visceral fat cells, which are intra-abdominal fat cells, located inside the abdominal cavity in between organs, such as, the stomach, liver, and intestines, cannot be treated by liposuction.

The good news is that liposuction often results in a transformation that is appealing and may positive influence other aspects of your life. View Dr. Abramson’s Before and After Photos  to obtain an idea of the type of enhancement one may experience.
