Liposuction and non-surgical body contouring using Venus Legacy are great options to trim and shape your body in all the right places. But with both of them being highly effective, how do you know which procedure is right for you? Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Shaun Parson and his expert staff will work with you to help decide which treatment will help you achieve the aesthetic goals you desire. Here’s a breakdown of what each treatment has to offer.
Lipo – Fat Removal for Those Larger Trouble Areas
For years, liposuction has been the go-to procedure for fat removal. It’s proven to be safe and effective at removing stubborn fatty deposits that just won’t seem to budge regardless of diet and exercise. Lipo is a surgical procedure that’s performed by inserting a small cannula into the treatment area to suck away fat. Following treatment, there’s a recovery period required, and compression garments are usually needed to be worn to aid in healing and to shape your newly contoured figure. Liposuction is an ideal treatment to pair with a body lift or tummy tuck – procedures that typically require larger amounts of fat to be removed. Many patients are able to achieve dramatic results, giving them the figure they’ve always wanted.
Venus Legacy – Perfect for Fat Removal Touch-ups
Not everyone that desires to shape their curves is in need of massive fat removal. For those individuals that just need a little touch-up here and there to remove stubborn pockets of fat, they may be better served with non-surgical body contouring with Venus Legacy. Venus Legacy uses radiofrequency energy to shrink fat cells by heating the deep tissues and melting the cells. Over time the fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body. No anesthesia or numbing cream is needed, and absolutely no recovery period is required. Treatments are quick and easy, lasting anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Results continue to improve for up to three months post-treatment giving you lasting results. It’s the perfect treatment for those tough to tone areas, such as your flanks and thighs.
