Achieve a More Contoured, Proportionate Silhouette

Liposuction: Sculpt & Refine with Precision

Liposuction is a highly effective body contouring procedure designed to permanently remove localized fat deposits, sculpting a slimmer, more balanced physique. Under the expert care of Dr. Gregory LaTrenta, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, patients receive precisely tailored treatments to refine stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise.

Reshaping & Refining Body Contours

What Are Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical fat-removal procedure that sculpts and contours the body by removing excess fat deposits through a minimally invasive approach. This treatment is ideal for patients who are near their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Liposuction can effectively treat:

  • Cheeks, jowls, and neck (for facial contouring)
  • Upper arms (reducing bulk for a slimmer appearance)
  • Chest or breast area (including gynecomastia in men)
  • Upper back & bra line (to remove bulging fat pockets)
  • Abdomen & waist (creating a more defined midsection)
  • Hips & buttocks (for improved body proportions)
  • Inner & outer thighs (eliminating excess fat for a more toned look)
  • Knees & ankles (enhancing definition in the lower body)

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body sculpting treatment to refine shape and proportions.

The Procedure: Precision Fat Removal for Defined Contours

Dr. LaTrenta performs liposuction with a meticulous approach, ensuring that each procedure is customized to the patient’s body structure and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Process & Techniques

  • Anesthesia & Sedation – Liposuction is performed under intravenous sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience.
  • Tiny Incisions – Small, strategically placed incisions are made in concealed areas to allow access to fat deposits.
  • Fat Removal Process – A thin, hollow tube (cannula) is inserted to break up fat cells and suction them out using a powerful vacuum device.
  • Sculpting & Refinement – The remaining fat is sculpted and redistributed for a natural, well-proportioned result.
  • Minimal Scarring – The incisions are small and well-hidden, healing with minimal visible scarring.

Procedure Time: Typically 1-2 hours, depending on the treatment area and extent of fat removal.

Who is the Best Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is best suited for individuals who:

Are within 20-30 pounds of their ideal weight

Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet & exercise

Desire enhanced body contours and refined proportions

Have good skin elasticity for optimal tightening after fat removal

Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-procedure

Non-smoker status is mandatory to ensure optimal healing and results.

Recovery & Aftercare: A Smooth Healing Process

Dr. LaTrenta’s refined surgical technique ensures a smooth, comfortable recovery with minimal downtime.

  • Initial Discomfort & Swelling (First Few Days) – Mild soreness and swelling subsides within a week.
  • Return to Work & Daily Activities (3-5 Days) – Most patients can resume light activities after a few days.
  • Exercise & Strenuous Activity (7-10 Days) – Gradual return to workouts and active movement is encouraged.
  • Compression Garment (Several Weeks) – Patients wear a compression garment to aid in swelling reduction and help the body conform to its new shape.
  • Final Results (Several Months) – While some immediate contouring improvements are visible, final results take 3-6 months as swelling fully resolves.
