Liposuction & Liposuction Surgery
The concept
of liposuction is surprisingly simple. Liposuction is
a surgical technique that improves the body's contour
by removing excess fat from fatty deposits located between
the skin and muscle. The Scottsdale Cosmetic Health Insitute specializes in liposuction
located in the Phoenix, Scottsdale Arizona area. Before

- Dr. Wasserman is the premier tumescent liposculpture expert in Arizona.
He performs more cases and trains more physicians in tumescent liposculpture than any other physician in the state.
- We have explored and researched every possible way to make liposuction
as easy, safe and precise as possible. From our supplement program to
our use of the Erchonia laser(FDA approved to speed recovery and
decrease pain) you will not experience an easier liposuction with
quicker recovery. Read our online PDF brochure: "Liposuction Made Easy".
- There is no cosmetic surgery or procedure that can't be performed
better as far as patient comfort and recovery are concerned. It really
comes down to attention to detail.
Liposuction involves the use of a small
stainless steel tube, called a cannula. The cannula is connected
to a very powerful suction pump and is inserted through small
skin incisions. The removal of fat is accomplished as the
suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers.
After liposuction
surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse which result in an
improved body contour.

the least pain and the best aesthetic results. The Scottsdale Cosmetic Health Insitute

Liposuction & Body Sculpture
Body sculpture by liposuction is literally
a dream come true. Localized accumulations of fat, which are
often inherited and frequently prove impossible to eliminate
by exercise or dieting, can now be removed permanently by
liposuction surgery, never to plague you again.
Liposuction - About Fat
Body fat of an adult tends to increase
gradually over the years. After the age of 30, an individual
tends to add fat according to a genetically predetermined
pattern. This fat distribution is often resistant to exercising
and dieting. An example of a genetically predetermined fat
distribution which is resistant to dieting and exercise is
the fat that appears on the abdomen and hips of a woman after
pregnancy.
For many people who have inherited
excessive accumulations of fat, liposuction is the only realistic
means of changing the body's silhouette. In effect, liposuction
is equivalent to being able to focus the effects of dieting
to specific areas of the body.
Liposuction - Who is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for liposuction
are in good health and have realistic expectations of
liposuction. There is neither definite age limit, nor
weight limit for patients who are "good candidates"
for liposuction. Most of our patients have localized
accumulations of fat. However, some of the happiest
patients have been individuals who are somewhat obese.
It is important to emphasize that liposuction is not
a treatment for general obesity. Liposuction surgery
is not effective as a last resort for people who are
unable to maintain a reasonable weight by dieting. However,
an overweight person whose weight has been stable for
many years and has certain problem areas of fat may
be an excellent candidate for liposuction.

Liposuction Surgery - What is a Success?
Liposuction
surgery is a success when the patient is happy with
the results. The surgeon's goal is to achieve an optimal
aesthetically appealing result rather than to maximize
the amount of fat removed. The cosmetic success of liposuction
relies on removing inches rather than pounds. For example,
removing an amount of fat equivalent to a half-pound
of butter from each outer thigh of a woman's saddlebag
area or from a man's love handle areas would result
in a dramatic change in silhouette, but would not significantly
change the person's weight.

Liposuction - Permanence of Results
Fat cells that are removed by
liposuction do not grow back. As long as the patient
does not gain excessive amounts of weight, the new,
more pleasing silhouette is permanent. A woman who always
tends to put weight on her thighs and knees, will find
that after liposuction, these areas are less likely
than other areas to accumulate fat when she gains weight.
In fact a number of patients have had liposuction surgery
and have subsequently gained weight. The areas originally
treated by liposuction have maintained their new desirable
silhouette, whereas areas not treated by liposuction
have been the sites of new deposits of fat.
