About Liposuction

Liposuction, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove localized, stubborn deposits of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Utilizing advanced techniques like tumescent, ultrasound-assisted (UAL), or laser-assisted liposuction, the surgeon makes small incisions, inserts a thin tube called a cannula, and suctions out excess fat cells to sculpt and contour the body. This procedure is not a weight-loss solution but is highly effective for refining body shape in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries for comprehensive body contouring, offering patients a more proportionate and defined silhouette.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three doctors with...

I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
