Palm Springs Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as lipoplasty or suction lipectomy, has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), the tumescent technique, and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, Palm Springs liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight-loss methods.

Developed by dermatologic surgeons looking for a better way to administer Palm Springs Liposuction in the 1980s, a major advancement called the tumescent technique of liposuction completely revolutionized the procedure. This breakthrough approach in Palm Springs Liposuction refers to swelling the skin with local anesthetic. The use of tumescent liposuction allows dermatologic surgeons to safely and effectively remove deep and superficial layers of fat under local anesthesia with relatively little discomfort, rare complications and improved cosmetic results.

Men and women of virtually any age have enjoyed cosmetic improvement from Palm Springs Liposuction. Ideal candidates are people in their normal weight range with one or several areas to reduce and shape. An individual who is overweight but stable in his or her weight pattern with one or two areas to improve can also benefit from Palm Springs Liposuction. However, it is especially important for this patient to have realistic expectations from Palm Springs Liposuction and look forward to contouring enhancement rather than weight reduction.
