The abdomen is a common problem area for many people. With age, the distribution of fat shifts, leaving many individuals with unexpected pockets of belly fat. And for some, all the crunches in the world can’t remove these stubborn bulges. Significant weight fluctuations can also produce exercise-resistant abdominal fat. Fortunately, liposuction can target and eliminate belly fat, restoring a lean and sculpted abdomen.

The dreaded bra roll: it’s that pesky bulge of fat that tends to develop right under your bra strap. Localized back fat can make it look like your bra fits improperly and produce rolls that even show up underneath blouses and sweaters. Targeted fat removal with liposuction allows you to achieve smooth back contours and eliminate stubborn bulges for good. The back is also a common problem area for men. Liposuction can restore an ideally masculine aesthetic that age or other factors have altered.

Some people can squat, lunge, and run their way to perfect legs. But for others, it’s not always that simple. You may be genetically predisposed to carrying extra weight in this area or it might simply be from aging. Whatever the cause may be, excess fat on the thighs can detract from an otherwise lean appearance and can make you physically uncomfortable due to thigh rub, especially in warm weather. When diet and exercise fail to produce the results you want, liposuction can give you trim, sculpted legs.

For both men and women, the flank area is one of the most frustrating places to carry excess fat. Also called “love handles,” these stubborn fat deposits can make you look heavier than you are, and they are virtually impossible to target through isolated workouts. They often become more pronounced over time when not addressed. With liposuction, you can achieve a tapered waistline and a smooth body contour to perfectly balance out your figure.

The arms are an often-overlooked area when it comes to body contouring, but many men and women find that their arms no longer have the lean look they used to have. Even if you maintain a regular exercise routine, excess arm fat can still be present, preventing you from achieving the definition you want. And with age, skin elasticity decreases, causing excess arm fat to have a loose or swinging appearance. Dr. Donofrio can beautifully sculpt your arms and eliminate fat through minimally invasive liposuction. This quick, effective procedure will allow you to wear sleeveless shirts with confidence again and help you feel your best.

Unwanted fullness under the chin is a cosmetic concern shared by many. And because the face and neck are some of the most visible parts of the body, excess neck fat can have a significant effect on your overall appearance. Fortunately, a quick liposuction procedure can produce dramatic results, giving you an overall sculpted facial appearance. Even though it’s a subtle enhancement, many patients find their results have a tremendous effect on their self-esteem. Whether you’re trying to keep pace with younger colleagues in a competitive career or you’d simply like to enhance your look, a fat-free neck contour will restore your confidence.

If you don’t feel ready to undergo liposuction, Dr. Donofrio can help you explore non-surgical alternatives for double-chin removal, like Kybella^® injections. And for those who have excess neck skin and deep skin folds, a minimally invasive neck lift can provide optimal rejuvenation. 

For men, excess fatty tissue on the chest can make them feel self-conscious and prone to hiding their bodies because of the appearance of feminine features. This condition is called gynecomastia and can be efficiently treated with liposuction to smooth the chest. Women can benefit from breast liposuction as well, especially those who are post-menopausal. After menopause, you may find that your breasts have changed in size or shape. If you experienced breast enlargement at this stage of life, liposuction can be used to sculpt breasts, creating volume that better fits your frame, comfort, and preferences.
