Those who plan on having liposuction typically look for the right technique that produces the right results, with a low chance of side effects and minimum scarring. One such liposuction technique is Tumescent Liposuction, otherwise known as Micro Liposuction. Micro Liposuction refers to the removal of small areas of fat, by using tiny cannulas and very small incisions.

Micro Liposuction results in very little discomfort since the incisions are very small. In cases where the cannula is less than 2 mm in diameter, the tiniest of cuts are required to insert the cannula and remove fat. This significantly reduces recovery time and allows patients to leave home from surgery within hours. Patients can travel the next day and return to normal activities within a few days.

Most patients prefer Micro Liposuction on areas of their body that are exposed in the summer. The outer thighs that carry the saddlebags, inner thighs, outer hips, and inner arms, buttocks, knee area, chin, neck, cheeks and the jowls are the most common areas that Micro Liposuction can help fix what exercising does not.

Patients find that Micro Liposuction offers great results, since the fat removed by liposuction does not come back. By keeping a healthy diet and exercise routine, patients can enjoy their new silhouette. If a patient does gain weight, however, the new fat will be deposited into the areas that were not treated by the liposuction.

Before you decide to have Micro Liposuction, it is important to speak to a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon that can give you more options and a chance to discuss your goals. A qualified surgeon can help ensure you receive the best of care and treatment.
