Q. What is liposuction?

A. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the body’s contour by removing excess deposits of fat that are located between the muscle and skin. For removing stubborn fat on the body, liposuction is one of the most popular procedures in the world.

Q. Why do people choose liposuction?

A. Most people typically choose liposuction if they find that diet and exercise are not working in regards to removing the stubborn fat from their body. The best patients for this procedure are close to their ideal weight, but they have unwanted bulges of fat. Sometimes people use it to jumpstart a weight loss program, but they should not expect to lose more than five or ten pounds from liposuction alone.

Q. What kind of scars will result from liposuction?

A. Most of the patients who have completed liposuction have found that the scars are no larger than a birthmark as only a quarter-inch incision is typically needed. Scars are easily hidden since Dr. Gabay and Dr. Gottlieb select areas hidden by clothing or areas that have a naturally existing skin crease.
