Precise, Gentle Liposuction with Beautiful Results
Performed alone or in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, liposuction can help you eliminate excess fat in areas such as your abdomen and thighs. Our practice in Fayetteville, AR, utilizes a syringe technique to precisely remove fat with minimized trauma. Dr. H. Daniel Atwood can also perform fat grafting, a method of augmenting other areas of your body with your own extracted fatty tissue.
Candidates for Liposuction
In order to achieve the best, safest results from liposuction, candidates should be healthy enough to undergo surgery and close to their ideal body weight. Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. Instead, it is a means of eliminating fatty tissue that will not respond to exercise and dieting. Liposuction can benefit those wishing to eliminate excess fat in the:
- Abdomen
- Flanks
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Arms

A Better Approach
Unlike many doctors, Dr. Atwood does not use a machine to perform liposuction. Instead, he uses a modified tumescent technique involving a local anesthetic to reduce pain and discomfort during recovery. This also allows him to perform liposuction more effectively and efficiently. Dr. Atwood compares this syringe technique to playing a violin instead of using a jackhammer. In other words, it is far more precise and involves far less trauma. Liposuction using a syringe allows Dr. Atwood to remove fat down to the millimeter.
Liposuction can often provide an excellent complement to massive weight loss, and it is often included in a mommy makeover to help patients restore their pre-baby figures.
Once you are comfortable, Dr. Atwood will create the incisions necessary to remove the fat. Throughout your liposuction procedure, Dr. Atwood will remove a precise amount of fat to avoid divots in the skin and give you natural-looking results.
Fat Grafting
A popular treatment option performed in conjunction with liposuction is fat transfer to other parts of the body. Once the fatty tissue has been extracted from one area of the body, it is placed in a centrifuge for purification. When the tissue is ready, it can be injected into the area the patient wishes to volumize. Patients with wrinkles or other signs of aging on their face can elect to use fat grafting to give them a fuller, more youthful appearance. Patients with sagging breast tissue can also incorporate fat transfer during breast augmentation or a breast lift to help their breasts appear fuller and more projected.
Benefits of Liposuction
When performed by an experienced surgeon, liposuction is a very safe and effective way to achieve the contours and figure you want. This procedure can often provide an excellent complement to massive weight loss, and it is often included in a mommy makeover to help patients restore their pre-baby figures.
