Liposuction in Baltimore, MD
Concerns about disproportionate, localized fat bulges that don’t respond to diet or exercise are common.

Liposuction is a great solution for people who:
Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise. With a healthy lifestyle, liposuction results are long lasting.
Liposuction takes approximately 1 to 5 hours, depending upon the complexity of the procedure and the size of the areas being addressed. It is performed on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia.
The procedure requires a very small incision, through which a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is manipulated back and forth to loosen the excess fat. The dislodged fat is suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. A sterile saline solution, combined with adrenaline anesthetic, is used to minimize bleeding and improve patient comfort and safety.
The plastic surgeons at Belcara Health use an enhanced liposuction technique that employs ultrasonic energy to liquefy excess fat prior to surgical suctioning allowing them to refine the results even further.
At Belcara Health, we make every effort to ensure recovery is as quick and comfortable as possible. However, every patient is different and recovery depends largely on:
Most of our Baltimore liposuction patients experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness, which can be minimized with a compression garment. We recommend you wear the garments for a least 6 weeks for optimal results and comfort. We encourage patients to get up and move around as soon as possible, and most return to work and normal activities in about 3 to 7 days.
Liposuction may be used to reduce fat in nearly all areas of the body (see illustration), including the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, waist, upper arms, neck, back, inner knee and chest area.

Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with other body contouring techniques to achieve additional improvements.
Patients with excess, loose, sagging skin may benefit from a body contouring procedure. Common areas for body contouring are the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. During the procedure, your surgeon will remove your loose, sagging skin and excess fat to dramatically improve your shape.

Fat transfer uses a patient’s own fat to enhance the size and shape of another area of the body. During the procedure, your surgeon will remove fat with liposuction, usually from the abdomen, and use that fat to sculpt and enhance the target areas of concern.
CoolSculpting is a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared technology that freezes targeted fat cells, which are then naturally cleared from the body. The procedure takes about 1 hour and effectively reduces fat with no surgery, needles, or downtime. CoolSculpting is great for love handles, muffin tops, belly pouches, bra rolls, arms, thighs, knees, and chin.
