Liposuction Salt Lake City
A popular cosmetic procedure that sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from specific areas of the body is liposuction, which is offered by Salt Lake City plastic surgeon Dr. Rodney E. Schmelzer.
Dr. Schmelzer is a skilled plastic surgeon who offers his knowledge and experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and a member of several medical associations, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Some of the procedures he offers in Salt Lake City include rhinoplasty ("nose surgery"), tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), and liposuction ("lipoplasty").
If you have been dieting and exercising, and still have stubborn, excess fat you cannot get rid of, liposuction may offer you the answer to a better contoured body.
The most common regions liposuction is performed on include the:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Breasts
- Legs
- Arms
- Thighs
Now with modern technology, liposuction is a fairly safe procedure and is oftentimes performed along with other cosmetic procedures offered at our practice.
Some of procedures liposuction may be performed along with in Salt Lake City:
- Tummy tuck surgery:
- A procedure that flattens the abdomen and tightens the abdominal wall. Tummy tuck surgery involves the removal of excess fat and skin.
- Gynecomastia surgery ("male breast reduction"):
- A surgery that is intended to correct "women-like" breasts that often develop in males; this involves the removal of excess fat and glandular tissue.
- Buttocks lift/augmentation:
- Performed to reshape the buttock region due to aging and/or post massive weight loss that has caused sagging. Implants may be placed to add more contour and excess fat is removed.
For more information on these procedures, view our procedure pages and before and after photo gallery.
