Treatment Options
As each individual is different, Dr. Hughes will discuss various treatment options within your consultation. We offer Suction-Assisted Liposuction and Laser-Assisted Liposuction. Liposuction procedure involves a cannula that is inserted into a small incision next to the desired treatment area. The straw suctions up the fat that is within the surrounding area.
Suction-Assisted Liposuction
The most traditional form of lipectomy breaks up the fat and uses a high-negative-pressure vacuum to remove the fat through a hollow instrument inserted beneath the skin.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
We offer ALLURA™ by Sciton high definition laser liposuction. A laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula, delivering energy directly to subcutaneous fat cells-to disrupt and liquify them. The emitted energy coagulates tissue, thus inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening. Laser liposuction typically results in less bruising and downtime.

Fat Transfer: Lose it + Use it
Fat transfer, or fat grafting in Raleigh, NC is a procedure in which fat is removed by from an unwanted area of the body (usually stomach, flanks or thighs). It’s then purified and transferred to the desired body area such as the breasts or buttocks to replace fat and collagen lost over time. The result is a fuller, smoother contoured figure after your fat transfer. You will love your new sculpted look!
We use the Wells Johnson™ High Volume Precision Auto-Graft System, designed to keep harvested fat sterile and safely contained from start to finish to provide long-lasting results for our patients.
Fat Permanently Removed
Fat cells that are removed within the process don’t reappear. Although, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regime to keep new fat cells away.
