The Highlights of Mini-liposuction are:
- The treatment of one or two stubborn areas of disproportion.
- Less than one liter total fat removed (2.5 lbs)
- Entire procedure is completed in one hour or less.
- Purely local anesthesia.
- Under $3,500* surgeons fee.
* Pricing does not include Operating room fee, compression garments and blood test.
In line with Dr.Amron's philosophy that liposuction should be reserved for targeting disproportion, he introduced the term and concept of "mini-liposuction" over 10 years ago. This procedure is perfect for individuals who are closer to their proper body weight. Although it may seem like an oxymoron that a thin patient is considering lipo, they may actually be an ideal candidate for mini-liposuction to reduce and refine one or two stubborn areas of disproportion that are not responding to diet and exercise. These stubborn disproportionate areas are the first to become full and the last to be reduced by diet and exercise simply because there is excess fat tissue.
When there is a genetic tendency towards retention of fat in certain areas of the body, a thin patient struggles to keep these areas reduced by keeping their body weight low, however, this can make other areas look too thin. Once their bodies have been properly balanced with mini liposuction, if the patient gains weight it will be in a more proportionate balanced way.
Dr.Amron's goal and role is to make a disproportionate patient perfectly proportionate.
Dr.Amron's Philosophy on Mini-Liposuction
- In line with Dr.David Amron's overall philosophy of liposuction, mini-lipo is not about weight loss, rather it is about correcting areas of disproportion.
- As with all liposuction surgeries, optimal results in terms of smooth, perfect contours are about the skills and judgement of the surgeon, this is even more true when the fat layer is thin in a patient who is not overweight.
- These areas achieve their redefined contours through the skill, artistry and aesthetic eye of Dr.Amron.
Parts of the body that are commonly treated with mini liposuction may include one or two of these areas:
- Chin
- Flanks (love handles)
- Hips
- Arms
- Outer thighs
- Upper-inner thighs
- Banana Roll (below the buttocks)
- Arms
- Lower abdomen
- Male chest (gynecomastia)
- Calves and ankles
- Knees
Other areas of the body presenting a small amount of excess fat may be able to be treated with miniliposuction.
