In our office we show preoperative and postoperative photographs of Dr. Heikes' patients who have had this procedure. Liposuction Suction-assisted lipectomy, or liposoction as we commonly know it, is a surgical procedure for the removal of selected body fat. It contours and reshapes areas of the body where localized fat deposits unaffected by diet or exercise are found. Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise. The ideal candidate for liposuction is the person who is at or near their ideal body weight, but has localized fat deposits.
Liposuction is an outpatient surgical procedure performed either under local or general anesthesia.
Discomfort is minimal and patients normally return to work within forty-eight hours wearing a compressive garment which is not visible under normal clothing. At Nu You Cosmetic Surgery Centre we do nasal surgery for functional or cosmetic reasons. An example of a functional goal would be to improve breathing. Most insurance companies cover this procedure. If an accident altered the shape of the nose, most insurance companies will cover the procedure.
