Fat Reduction Surgery – Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty and suction lipectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the body shape by removing unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Liposuction can be used on the neck, face, chin, chest, abdomen, back, buttocks, hips, knees, thighs, and upper arms. The procedure can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, or facelift surgery. Technique for liposuction has improved over the years, allowing for better fat removal with the least complication. Power-assisted liposuction and tumescent liposuction are two improvements that Dr. Bui utilizes to create a nicer body contour for you.

The best candidate for liposuction is a person who is physically healthy and near normal weight but has areas of excess fat that are resistant to regular diet and exercise. Patients should also be psychologically stable and have realistic expectations of what the procedure can offer. Patients with firm, elastic skin tend to achieve the best results, although good result can still be obtained in patients with less than excellent skin elasticity.
The Surgery
The amount of time needed for liposuction will vary due to several factors, including the amount of fat being removed, the technique used, and the size of the area being treated. The procedure is commonly performed on an outpatient basis and typically involves either local or general anesthesia.
The procedure begins with small incisions made on the areas of the body to be treated. Solution containing anesthetic medication is infused into these areas. Small blunt-tip tube or cannula is used to remove the fat. The incisions are then closed with sutures. A compression garment is applied over the areas treated.
Because the procedure is performed in an accredited outpatient surgery center, large volume liposuction can be performed safely with patients still able to go home on the same day.
