Liposuction
and bodyshaping is the most common type of body
contouring procedure and is a large part of Dr.
Davidson's Cosmetic surgery boston practice.
Your
heredity determines where excess fat will accumulate
in your body. These fat deposits, which often persist
in spite of diet or exercise, can be reduced by
liposuction. The best candidates for liposuction
are people who are not excessively overweight and
who have good skin elasticity .
Doctors
believe that adults have a fixed or constant number
of fat cells in their bodies. Because liposuction
permanently reduces the number of fat cells in the
areas which have been treated, the improvement is
permanent, provided that a stable weight is maintained.
Because
of the amount of fat which can be safely removed
is limited, people who are significantly overweight
will need to lose weight by dieting prior to surgery.
To avoid disappointment on your part, Dr. Davidson's
office staff will ask your height and weight before
making an appointment for you.

The
tumescent technique consists of the injection of the
fatty tissues with a generous volume of a saline like
solution, which also contains xylocaine, a local anesthetic,
plus a medication which causes the blood vessels to
constrict. The tumescent injection is done before
fat removal begins.
Dr.
Davidson routinely uses the tumescent technique
of liposuction. This important advance which facilitates
the removal of much larger volumes of fat while
greatly reducing blood loss. By performing this
procedure in a hospital setting, Dr. Davidson is
able to remove much larger amounts of fatty tissue
with greater safety than could be done in an office
facility. Dr. Davidson has arranged for discounted
hospital and anesthesia packages for this procedure.
Ultrasonic
Assisted Liposuction ( UAL ) uses high frequency
sound waves to liquify the eaciss fat, which is
then removed by suction through small stainless
steel tubes called cannulas. UAL is particularly
helpful in the waist, hips and lower back where
the tissue is tougher and more fibrous.
