Localized pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise can make you feel self-conscious about some areas of the body.

Advanced liposuction techniques can contour the body and bring the entire figure into better proportion.

At Lake Country Plastic & Hand Surgery in Waukesha, WI, Dr. Tracy McCall provides patients with beautiful liposuction results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is designed to contour specific areas of the body. Therefore, it should not be considered a weight loss procedure. At most, liposuction can remove about five pounds of fat. Ideal patients for liposuction are people of normal weight who have areas of fat that will not disappear with diet or exercise. It is also important to be aware that the surgery does not tighten sagging skin. Common treatment sites include:

Thighs
Hips and buttocks
Tummy and waist
Upper arms
Back
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin, and neck
Calves and ankles

Combining Liposuction with Renuvion®

Renuvion is a nonsurgical body contouring procedure that tightens the skin using a combination of cold helium plasma and radiofrequency energy. It can be incorporated in your treatment plan to address the loose, wrinkled skin that often accompanies excess fat.

Dr. McCall is amazing! She did a fantastic job on my bilateral reduction. I am so pleased with the results. Her nurse, Kristen, is also fantastic. I can't say enough good things! My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a plastic surgeon in this area.

Dr. McCall is the best and only plastic surgeon I will ever go to. She has done many HS surgeries on me and has always been so kind even with insurance changes. I would give her 10 stars if possible. Thank you so much for all you do!

How Does Liposuction Work?

When patients from greater Milwaukee come to our Waukesha, WI, practice for treatment, they can expect the following:

Anesthesia

Dr. McCall places her patients under general anesthesia for most plastic surgery procedures, including liposuction.

Incisions

The fat removal process is done through extremely small incisions in order to minimize scarring.

Tumescent Injections

The targeted area is first injected with a solution that causes the fat to swell for easier removal. It also reduces pain and bleeding.

Fat Removal

A tube, or cannula, is a special device that is inserted through the incisions to gently and safely remove fat cells from your body. The appropriate amount of fat is suctioned out of the body, resulting in improved contours.

Recovery

After treatment, patients can expect side effects such as discomfort, swelling, and bruising. These are significantly improved by two weeks after surgery, but complete recovery can take several weeks.
