Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure that improves your body's contours by removing excess fatty deposits through varying techniques including Smartlipo™, ultrasonic-assisted liposuction, suction assisted liposuction and Smartlipo™ Ultra.

Liposuction is performed on both men and women and is relatively safe and effective and provides dramatic results in the hands of a highly trained cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Stanley Foster, III who has twenty-five years experience in the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Foster cautions, however, liposuction is not a substitute for good nutritional habits and regular exercise; it is not to be considered a weight loss program or a solution for obesity.

Liposuction or body contouring is an excellent technique to be employed if you are close to your ideal weight, have firm elastic skin, have no significant health problems, do not smoke, exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet.

Liposuction is commonly performed on an out-patient basis and recovery time is minimal with most patients back to normal daily activities within days of their procedure. Some bruising and swelling can be expected while each patient’s experience is based on the amount of fat removed and the areas that were involved in the procedure.

Dr. Foster's preferred method of liposuction is SmartLipo. It is performed under local anesthesia with very little swelling or blood loss.

If you are considering liposuction and live in the Hartford, Greenwich, Waterbury, or Glastonbury, Connecticut, area, please contact Dr. Stanley Foster, III today to have your case evaluated and learn which option is best suited for your needs.
