Liposuction
Liposuction is the targeted removal of stubborn fatty tissue through minimal incisions and is the most popular surgery in Florida today. Also known as Liposculpture or Liposelection, it is the precise elimination of fatty tissue, thus improving the contour or silhouette of the body. It is important to understand that Liposuction is not for weight loss. Even with the most aggressive amounts of fatty tissue removed, it is unlikely that your weight will drop significantly. In Florida, Liposuction has recently received a fair amount of negative press as complications have occurred by inexperienced physicians performing liposuction in a backroom office. Even though the procedure is performed through small incisions, it is not a small surgery. Because of the significant fluid and electrolyte shifts seen, it is imperative that you have the procedure performed at an appropriately accredited Surgery Center with a Board Certified Anesthesiologist carefully observing your vital signs and fluid status. We are often asked to combine liposuction with other procedures at Ponte Vedra MedSpa. Adding liposuction to procedures such as a tummy tuck or breast reduction often serves to amplify the body’s new contour and leads to a much better profile than one procedure alone. However, safety is our number one priority and all patients must be evaluated properly to ensure they are a good candidate for a combined procedure. At Ponte Vedra MedSpa we pride ourselves in our artistic results and have extensive experience in the most advanced Liposuction techniques. The latest techniques allow for less traumatic surgery (as often seen on reality TV), leading to less bruising and discomfort postoperatively. To obtain the best contour, it is essential to understand that what is left behind is just as important as what is removed. Call us today to schedule your liposuction consultation. Our offices are located in the Ponte Vedra MedSpa Plastic Surgery & Laser Center serving Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine and the entire Jacksonville area. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about plastic surgery and to answer any of your questions concerning liposuction.

Many people all across Jacksonville struggle with their weight. The first step to weight loss is always diet and exercise. However, it’s not uncommon to eat right and increase your activity but still have a few problem areas that don’t respond like you would like. Some of the most notorious areas are the waistline, the upper back just beneath the bra strap, as well as the inner and outer thighs. Other areas that are difficult to improve include the back of the arms and a double chin.
