What is liposuction?
Dr. Kayastha has extensive experience helping patients achieve slimmer profiles using liposuction. Liposuction or “Lipo” is the most common cosmetic procedure. Liposuction removes excess fat to contour and reshape areas of the body. This is done using small 3-4mm incisions to access the surgical site. After that, the tumescent fluid which consists of saline, dilute local anesthetic and epinephrine is infiltrated into the area. This fluid numbs the area and makes the removal of fat easier. Fat is then removed using a narrow metal tube called a cannula. This requires meticulous technique and strict attention to detail to deliver smooth, natural results. Dr. Kayastha pays strict attention during your procedure while using his vision and hands to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Dr. Kayastha offers liposuction procedures at his cosmetic surgery practice in Albany, NY. When you meet with Dr. Kayastha you can expect a thorough consultation to determine which procedure is best suited to help you achieve your goals.
“I work out and eat healthily but still have some areas where I wish I had less fat.”
Do you have pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise? Most of us have one or more areas of our bodies that we wish could be trimmer. When eating healthy and endless cardio don’t lead to the improvements you are seeking liposuction might be the answer.
Liposuction can be used to remove fat from almost any area of the body to reveal a more sculpted appearance. It can help create balance, proportion and an overall more attractive form. Liposuction can also be performed alone or with other plastic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck or breast reduction. During your consultation, Dr. Kayastha will examine you and determine if liposuction is the correct procedure to help you achieve your goals. He will then develop a unique customized plan for your procedure based on your goals and examination. Dr. Kayastha strives to deliver natural-looking results that bring out the best version of you.
