Board-certified plastic surgeon Joseph Tamburrino, M.D., achieves excellent results with liposuction for patients in Doylestown, PA, and Greater Philadelphia. This minimally invasive treatment sculpts and refines your physique by targeting excess fat beneath the skin, enhancing natural contours for a slimmer, more proportionate appearance. 

What Is Liposuction? 

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction suctions out unwanted fat through small, discreet incisions using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula. Modern techniques allow greater precision and smoother results, making it an effective solution for refining body shape. While liposuction enhances body contours, it’s not a weight loss procedure.

Types of Liposuction 

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. offers different liposuction techniques to ensure the best outcome for each patient. During your consultation, he’ll recommend the most suitable option based on your goals and body type. 

Traditional Liposuction 

A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to loosen and remove fat using suction.  

Smartlipo® (Laser-Assisted Liposuction) 

Smartlipo uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal, making it easier to extract while tightening the surrounding skin for a smoother finish. 

Each technique has its advantages, and Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will guide you in choosing the best approach for your desired results.

Benefits of Liposuction 

Liposuction offers a range of benefits, including: 

  • Targeted Fat Reduction: Removes stubborn fat in specific areas resistant to diet and exercise. 
  • Refined Body Contours: Sculpts a smoother, more proportional shape. 
  • Long-Lasting Results: Once removed, fat cells do not return.  
  • Minimally Invasive Approach: Small incisions lead to minimal scarring and downtime. 

While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential to prevent the enlargement of remaining fat cells, which can affect your results.

Is Liposuction Right for You? 

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you: 

  • Are at or near a healthy, stable weight 
  • Have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise 
  • Have good skin elasticity to support smooth, natural-looking results 
  • Have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve 

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but can significantly enhance body contours when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

First Week

Compression garment worn 24/7; swelling and bruising gradually subside; light activity is encouraged. 

Weeks 2 to 4

Continued use of compression garments helps reduce swelling and contour the body. 

Weeks 6 to 8

Most residual swelling resolves, and body contours become more defined.
