Liposuction

Certain areas of body fat are permanently resistant to exercise. Much of this can be attributed to genetics and hormones. Men and women are increasingly turning to liposuction to remove tenacious fat deposits on hips, buttocks, thighs, as well as on calves, upper arms, knees and under your chin. Women may feel that their body is out of proportion if they appear bottom heavy, or lack graceful curves. Men find that fatty deposits settle unattractively into love handles at the waistline, or collect into jowls around the chin and neck, where it has an aging effect on even the most youthful face.

When Dr. Lorenc recommends liposuction, his goal is to give your body or face a graceful new balance and symmetry. Liposuction is a procedure that counteracts the patterns of weight gain and loss that most people encounter, because it can often transform the shape of a patient’s body. In some instances, he may recommend a tummy tuck in addition to liposuction surgery. The procedure permanently removes fat cells from specific areas of the body. Once removed, the fat cells cannot regenerate. Any weight that is regained tends to be more evenly distributed over the body.

When you consult with Dr. Lorenc, he will help you decide on the procedure that is most appropriate for reaching your goals. Depending upon the area and amount of fat to be removed, he may suggest the tumescent technique, an ultrasonic-assisted procedure, power-assisted liposuction in conjunction with the tumescent injection or laser assisted lipolysis where laser energy is utilized to melt fat cells and also promote skin shrinkage. Either choice effectively removes resistant fat and promises rapidly accelerated recovery.

Liposuction is done via small incisions about one half inch in length. The fat is liquefied using laser energy. Then, Dr. Lorenc inserts a cannula, a miniature wand with an opening near the end that works with pressure suction to remove the unwanted fat located between the skin and muscles. Depending upon the size and areas you wish to have treated, liposuction surgery can take from one to several hours. A tight-fitting dressing will be placed over the area to aid your skin in conforming smoothly to its new contours.

Recovery time and scarring are usually minimal and results can be dramatic. Your saddlebags can disappear, legs and hips can become thinner and shapelier. The chin and neck areas can regain a sleeker, smoother appearance. Dr. Lorenc’s artistry, combined with his surgical expertise, sculpts the form, balance and proportion that can literally reshape your body.
