Our Orlando and Winter Park area practice offers several liposuction procedures including tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction. Liposuction is a procedure used to remove fat from selected areas of the body. It is intended to compliment proper diet and exercise by addressing problem fat deposits. In the procedure, a small incision is made in the skin near the fat deposit. Then, a small probing tube (called a cannula) from a vacuum machine is inserted and moved throughout the region, whisking the fat cells away. Often, the basic liposuction technique is augmented by the use of other devices: among these are an automatically-oscillating cannula, a cannula that emits ultrasonic waves to break up the fat, and injection of an anesthetic solution into the fat deposit prior to suction. With such developments, liposuction has become wonderfully safe and appropriate for millions of Americans who want to improve their body contours.
Tumescent liposuction has been used in body contouring for about 20 years. Tumescent liposuction is a technique that involves introducing a solution of local anesthesia and other medication into the layer of skin that holds most of the fat that needs to be removed. After the injection, the fat and solution are vacuumed out. This method allows for less pain and bleeding, more efficiency, and quicker healing. After the procedure, an elastic garment that presses against the body helps your skin to heal around your newly contoured body.
In addition to tumescent liposuction we also offer a liposuction procedure called 'ultrasonic liposuction' in Winter Park facility near Orlando. This liposuction method varies from tumescent liposuction, but the purpose is the same: to make fat tissue deposit removal faster, more accurate and less painful, thus improving overall results. Often, ultrasonic liposuction is used in conjunction with tumescent liposuction to yield the best results possible.
Ultrasonic liposuction involves the use of ultrasonic or high frequency sound energy to break up fat tissue before vacuuming it out of the body. The broken-up fatty tissue is easier to remove with ultrasonic liposuction, allowing for a safer and shorter liposuction procedure.
Dr. Clark is a highly experienced abdominoplasty surgeon in the Orlando and Winter Park areas. Abdominoplasty - sometimes called a "tummy tuck" - is a cosmetic technique to trim fat and excess skin from the abdominal region and improve the shapeliness of the underlying muscle there. Fat is removed and the muscles of the abdominal wall are pulled inward to solidify them. Then the skin in the area is stretched tightly across the abdomen and excess is trimmed. Different versions of abdominoplasty are available to specifically address the base of the abdomen or to encompass the entire region up the bottom of the ribcage. If you are one of many people who suffer from loose skin or excess fat in this area, abdominoplasty may be your best choice for positive results. Dr. Clark can help you determine if abdominoplasty is right for you. If you would like a consultation for abdominoplasty in Winter Park or Orlando, contact us today.
