Liposuction by Randy Buckspan, MD Plastic Surgery Tampa Saint Petersburg Clearwater FLorida

Liposuction and liposculpture (or suction-assisted lipectomy) have become one of
the most common cosmetic surgery procedures performed today. Proven safety,
minimal scarring and outstanding results have made it the preferred method for
removing fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and midriff, as well as
areas of the face, neck and arms. Liposuction is not an alternative to weight
reduction, but can be very effective in removing fat from areas that do not respond
to diet and exercise programs.

Liposuction is performed under general or local anesthesia. Dr. Buckspan uses
the latest tumescent technique for body contouring and liposuction, which reduces
swelling and bruising and shortens your recovery. A compression garment is worn
for a few weeks afterwards to aid healing. Most patients are back to work in less
than a week and positive results can be seen within days after the surgery.
