Liposuction- Patient 121

A woman in her early 30’s with Steatopygia , a lipodystrophy of excess fat in the buttock area.  Sometimes called a “duck tail”.    She is over her ideal body weight for someone 5’ 5 ½” at 202 lbs.  Liposuction is not a treatment for being overweight but can selectively remove excess fat.  In her case I performed power assisted liposuction using the S.A.F.E. technique

( Separation/Aspiration/Fat Equalization) and was able to obtain a good improvement with the removal of 5200 cc of lipo-aspirate from the lower back/ upper buttocks, flanks and inner thighs.   She is shown at 6 weeks after her procedure and is thrilled with her early improvement.  Swelling after liposuction typically takes 6 months to completely resolve, so we can expect further small improvement with time. She is thrilled with the new shape and projection of her buttocks in and out of clothing and the improvement in her waist and inner thighs.
