Target Your Trouble Areas

Most individuals have specific areas of their bodies that they want to alter or fix. These surfaces are usually one’s that resist diet and exercise. Troubling areas feel immune to all techniques. Liposuction in Raleigh NC is an effective way to target these stubborn surfaces and keep unwanted fat off. These targeted sections are contoured and sculpted to perfection with liposuction. Popular areas are flanks, stomach, thighs, submental “chin” and arms.

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.

Fat transfer, or fat grafting in Raleigh, NC is a procedure in which fat is removed from an unwanted area of the body (usually stomach, flanks or thighs) and then purified and transferred to the desired body area. Most common areas are the breasts, buttocks or facial rejuvenation to replace fat and collagen lost over time.⁣ The result is a fuller, smoother, and contoured area after your fat transfer. You will love your new, naturally restored 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.

Treatment Options

As each individual is different, our surgical team 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

• Traditional lipectomy breaks up fat deposits.
• A high-negative-pressure vacuum is used to remove the fat.
• Fat is extracted through a hollow instrument inserted beneath the skin.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

• A laser fiber is introduced through a small cannula.
• Energy is delivered directly to subcutaneous fat cells to disrupt and liquefy them.
• The emitted energy coagulates tissue, inducing collagen retraction and tissue tightening.
• Laser liposuction typically results in less bruising and downtime.
