What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as suction lipectomy, is an extremely popular procedure that targets stubborn pockets of fat that linger despite a healthy diet and exercise. These unsightly bulges give your body a disproportionate shape. Fortunately, Mississippi liposuction can remove these fatty deposits, creating a slim, sleek silhouette. The areas on your body that are most likely to benefit from Biloxi liposuction include:

• abdomen
• hips
• inner and outer thighs
• buttocks
• knees
• chin

Miller, a board-certified plastic surgeon, welcomes men and women from in and around Biloxi, including Gulfport, Pascagoula, Hattiesburg, Long Beach and Ocean Springs.

How is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction in Biloxi is usually performed under general anesthesia, but it can be a day procedure in certain circumstances. The surgery normally takes between one and two hours, depending on the areas being treated.

Once the anesthetic takes effect, a very small incision is made in the relevant area, and a thin hollow tube called a cannula is inserted to break up the fat and then suck it up. After the fat is extracted and the cannula is removed, the incision is stitched with dissolvable sutures and covered with a sterile dressing. A support garment may also be applied.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision, so your suitability for a procedure will be determined by your individual characteristics and expectations. However, there are some criteria that the majority of Biloxi liposuction patients have in common. They include:

• areas of fat that never go away, despite diet and exercise
• lack of definition or a disproportionate figure
• low self-esteem and self-confidence due to their shape

During your consultation at Apogee Plastic Surgery, Dr. Miller will help you make the right choice for your individual needs. His liposuction expertise has helped guide men and women from Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula, as well are other areas of Mississippi.
