Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat from specific areas in your body. Korman Plastic Surgery offers Liposuction to residents of San Francisco, CA. Sometimes diet and exercise alone are not enough to tone your body. In these cases, Liposuction is an ideal option to contour the problem areas that make you feel unhappy.

Benefits of Liposuction

• Ideal way to remove fat from problem areas that have not responded to exercise and diet.
• Helps reshape and tone your body.
• Gives long lasting effects if a good diet and exercise are maintained afterwards.
• Can be used to remove fat from your face, abdomen, hips, buttocks, legs, arms and chest.

Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia to avoid pain. A thin, hollow tube is inserted under your skin through a small incision. The tube is used to separate fat from the surrounding tissues and to suction it out of the body. Liposuction results are long lasting, even permanent, as long as you follow a healthy lifestyle in the future.

Recovery from Liposuction

The incision is covered with bandages and a compression stocking to reduce swelling and enhance healing. Swelling, bruising and pain are typical side effects that usually subside within a few days to weeks after the procedure. Dr. Korman also offers his patients a post-Liposuction massage that helps relieve discomfort and enhances healing.
