As the most common Cosmetic Surgery procedure performed in the U. S., Liposuction can help give you the shape you desire. Proper diet and exercise are vital to looking and feeling better about your appearance, but liposuction can help improve your contour in those “hard to lose” areas. Dr. Rodgers performs Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue in those areas diet and exercise cannot seem to improve, resulting in a smoother more contoured appearance.
The procedure involves injecting fluid into the area to be treated containing a “numbing” medication, and epinephrine for less blood loss. This will provide you with more comfort and speed your recovery time with less bruising. Dr. Rodgers also uses ultrasonic liposuction as needed for fibrous areas like the back or enlarged male breast tissue.

The procedure is typically performed under the patient’s choice of ‘twilight’ sedation or general anesthesia as an outpatient in an ambulatory surgical center. The procedure can take between one to three hours depending on how many areas are treated, and you will be discharged home when stable. The incisions are small and well hidden and will fade with time. You will wear a compression garment for four weeks to help control swelling and bruising.
