Slim Problem Areas with Liposuction

Are you frustrated by stubborn fat deposits that just won't respond to diet and exercise?

The Hurwitz Center offers traditional, ultrasonic, and radiofrequency-assisted liposuction for patients in Pittsburgh, PA, to eliminate excess fat and help you achieve the lean contours you desire. 

So why should you consider liposuction?

But how do I know if it's right for me?

It is important to note that liposuction is primarily used to target and remove stubborn deposits of fat throughout the body. However, the procedure cannot be used to remove excess skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, or address post-pregnancy concerns such as C-section scars. 

If these are among your concerns, other body contouring treatments such as abdominoplasty or a body lift may produce more effective results. 

It is also important to consider that liposuction may be essential to other procedures you wish to undergo, such as a Brazilian butt lift, in which fatty tissue is transferred to the buttocks. Our plastic surgeons will take plenty of time to help you choose the right procedure or combination of procedures to meet your goals.

Your procedure may differ slightly if you choose ultrasound- or radiofrequency-assisted liposuction.

Following liposuction at our Pittsburgh practice, it is normal for patients to experience bruising and swelling. Because every individual is different, some may notice these side effects longer than others.

On average, slight swelling and inflammation will linger for about three months. However, in most cases, post-operative bruising should diminish within four weeks.* 

Once you reach the four-week mark, your final results will become more apparent. However, it could take up to three months for the full effects to become noticeable.

Patience and compliance are the two most important factors in the recovery process. The end result will be a more aesthetically pleasing figure and a boost in self-confidence.*

The cost of liposuction will depend on the extent of your procedure, areas to be treated, and other factors. While liposuction is not covered by insurance, you may qualify for third-party financing, which can make costs manageable through low-interest and interest-free payment plans.
