Case Study: Liposuction
Though Lisa H., 51, Coral Springs, Florida, carried three children, her abdominal muscles remained relatively toned, thanks to a good exercise regimen. But she had pockets of stubborn fat on her stomach, sides and back that gave her a bulky look.
Liposuction changed all that, moving her from a size 12 to a 6-8.
“I kept exercising but I didn’t get results,” she says of the fatty deposits on her sides and back. “I finally decided liposuction was the only solution. I did extensive research, checked lots of credentials, before I chose Dr. Levens.”
The Procedure: Dr. Levens inserted small suction tubes (cannulas) through tiny incisions on Lisa’s abdomen, sides and back to remove excess fat deposits. In each area, small amounts of fat were removed at a time as Dr. Levens constantly checked fat thickness and contour. A thin layer of normal fat was left beneath the skin to prevent rippling or dimpling. Incisions were closed with tiny sutures leaving small scars in relatively concealed areas.
“The results were terrific,” Lisa says. “And the recovery was easier than I expected. I was up and about the very next day.
