How Liposuction Can Give You the Shape You’ve Always Wanted

How Liposuction Can Give You the Shape You’ve Always Wanted

Can liposuction from U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics give you the shape you’ve always wanted? It can if you follow Dr. Tag’s instructions and use it together with other shaping strategies. It’s frustrating when fat refuses to budge, even after you’ve hit the treadmill, counted your calories, and done countless crunches. Liposuction in Owings Mills offers a straightforward way to tackle those areas. By removing fat cells from targeted locations, our patients in the greater Baltimore area can finally see the slimmer, smoother contour they’ve hoped for.

What Exactly Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical process that removes fat deposits in areas like your belly, thighs, arms, or chin. Dr. Tag uses a narrow tube called a cannula to break up and suction out fatty tissue. It’s designed to help you reduce those areas that don’t seem to respond to exercise or changes in your diet.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix. Liposuction is more of a shaping tool than a massive weight-loss method. If your main goal is to lose a lot of pounds, you might need to explore other approaches first. But if you’re near your ideal weight and want to sculpt trouble spots, this procedure can help you see real changes.

Not All Liposuction Is the Same

Traditional liposuction removes fat, but sometimes your skin also needs extra help. At U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics, Dr. Tag can use power-assisted liposuction (PAL) with the MicroAire device to gently break up stubborn fat. 

Because not all liposuction methods are the same, and at U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics, Dr. Tag frequently uses VASER liposuction and pairs this with traditional liposuction for enhanced results. VASER, which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, is an ultrasound-based technique that delivers energy pulses through a specialized probe. These pulses gently loosen fat cells from surrounding tissues, making them easier to remove. This treatment helps to remove fat more smoothly and helps with definition as well as skin retraction. 

Additionally, VASER can stimulate collagen production, which may help tighten the skin for a more sculpted and refined appearance.

If you have loose skin, BodyTite can be added. This radiofrequency treatment helps tighten areas that need more support. By mixing and matching these methods, Dr. Tag has multiple ways to reduce and smooth out any concerns with your body to give you a smoother, more refined look.
