Excess Fat Removal

in San Jose & Palo Alto, CA

What CausesExcess Fat?

The appearance of excess fat is often due to a lack of exercise and improper nutrition. Unfortunately, some of us who do adhere to strict diet regimes can also retain stubborn fat. Of the many factors that contribute to those love handles, age and genetics are the least controllable. When it feels like our bodies are working against us, it’s good to know that support is out there. At Illuminate Plastic Surgery we’re dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals. Our excess fat treatments are designed to deliver excellent results while minimizing downtime whenever possible.

Struggling With Excess Fat?

Excess body fat often lingers around the abdomen, back, flanks (love handles), thighs, and under the chin. These trouble areas often have the highest concentration of fat cells. Due to this, they are the hardest parts of the body to sculpt. Illuminate makes every effort to encourage proper nutrition and exercise. However, for these regions a specialized excess fat reduction treatment may be necessary. We have found that reducing these fat pockets improves self-esteem and helps maintain motivation amongst those pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

Treatments At Illuminate Plastic Surgery

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that helps flatten and shape the abdomen and waist. The best candidates for abdominoplasty are in good physical condition who have areas of fat or loose skin that have not responded well to diet and exercise.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that involves the use of a suction machine to surgically remove excess fat from unwanted areas on the body, such as below the chin. The best candidates for liposuction are men and women who have persistent bulges of fat that have not responded favorably to diet and exercise.
