Liposuction, or lipoplasty, is a popular body contouring procedure aimed at removing excess fat deposits to enhance body shape and proportion. Dr. Wangui Waithaka, a distinguished plastic surgeon, specializes in delivering precise and natural-looking results that help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
This procedure targets stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common areas treated with liposuction include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Dr. Waithaka utilizes advanced liposuction techniques, such as tumescent liposuction and ultrasound-assisted liposuction, to ensure optimal fat removal and skin tightening.
During your consultation, Dr. Waithaka will conduct a thorough assessment of your body contour and discuss your goals. This personalized evaluation helps in formulating a tailored surgical plan that addresses your specific needs and expectations.
The procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment area. Small incisions are made through which a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out the fat. Dr. Waithaka’s innovative technique, state of the art equipment, her meticulous approach ensures minimal scarring and a smooth, even result.
