Liposuction Surgery


Liposuction, simply put, is taking out the unwanted fat in certain areas of the body.  The process is rather simple but the result is quite satisfying.  Most areas in the body can be treated with liposuction, though the most common areas in women are the abdomen, hips, and thighs.  Men are often treated for liposuction in the breasts, hips, and abdomen.  Liposuction is not limited to these areas, though other places may include the upper arms, under the chin and the buttock.  Liposuction is among most frequently performed surgeries by Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Port Jefferson, Suffolk County, New York.  At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Gregory Diehl will discuss all aspects of Liposuction Surgery with you.  Dr. Diehl will also determine whether you are a good candidate for the Liposuction Surgery.

Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods, and improve body contour.  The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people who have isolated pockets of fat that do not respond well to diet or exercise.  Liposuction can be done at any age, but those with firm, elastic skin achieve the best results since elasticity lends itself to smoother contouring after the fat removal.  Liposuction improves the balance of your figure, which will enhance your self-image and self confidence, especially here on Long Island where beach activities are quite popular.

Do the results of Liposuction last?

Liposuction results are long lasting, as long as the patient maintains a healthy life-style, including exercise and a sensible diet.  Once the fat cells have been removed from an area there is no longer a preferential fat storage area and any fat gain will be distributed more evenly over the rest of the body.

How is Liposuction Surgery performed?

Liposuction involves the insertion of a hollow tube, or cannula, through a tiny incision into the layers of fat that lie deep beneath the skin.  The cannula is connected to a suction device that literally vacuums the fat out as the surgeon breaks up the cells with a push/pull motion.

Does Liposuction leave scars?

Liposuction scars are minimal and will not be noticeable as incisions made during Liposuction Surgery are generally very small and put in areas that are more inconspicuous.  Most scars from Liposuction Surgery will heal well and will be difficult to detect.

What kind of recovery can I expect from Liposuction Surgery?

Liposuction recovery is quite brief; a few days of soreness and some bruising and swelling can be expected for about a week.   Usually patients can return to work in a couple of days and resume strenuous physical activity after two to three weeks.

How do I choose the right surgeon for MY Liposuction?

It is very important to choose a surgeon who is experienced in Liposuction Surgery and has been Board Certified in Plastic Surgery.  You should view his before and after photos as well.  Dr. Gregory Diehl, a Board Certified Plastic surgeon, in Port Jefferson, Suffolk County, has been performing Liposuction Surgeries on long island for over 18 years, fulfilling many patients' desires to have slimmer bodies.
