Case ID: 2403

Individual results may vary.

Case Details

Body contouring by liposuction performed in Cleveland, Ohio by Dr. Medalie. The patient is shown three months after her liposuction procedure.

*Please note that plastic surgery results may vary from patient to patient and are not guaranteed

The liposuction procedure includes the following steps:

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include local anesthesia, intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.

Step 2 – The Incision

Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions.

First, diluted local anesthesia is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula.
