At PitmanLiposuction™, procedures are designed to enhance and rejuvenate natural feminine beauty.
The bodies of healthy young women are a series of subtle and gently flowing convexities. A thin layer of fat imparts a smooth appearance and soft touch to the skin.
Too much fat distorts the figure, adding thickness and bulk. Distortion of the figure is particularly noticeable if the fat is deposited in a disproportionate way. For example, some women have an inherited tendency to store extra fat on the thighs. No matter how hard these women diet and exercise, body fat disproportion will not change. In fact, strenuous attempts at dieting are not only ineffective, but can create a thin face and chest while the thighs remain bulky.
Liposuction, however, can change body proportion in ways that dieting can’t because liposuction can remove fat from specific, targeted areas such as:
Patients frequently ask that “all of the fat” be removed from a specific area, forgetting that a thin, smooth layer of fat is critical to a beautiful and unwrinkled appearance. The art of the plastic surgeon is to remove as much fat as necessary to eliminate bulkiness, but to leave enough fat to keep the body surface smooth and youthful in appearance.

Mommy Makeover
Optimal results in some patients are achieved my combining liposuction with ancillary surgical procedures such as tummy tuck or breast lift. The combined procedures of liposuction plus tummy tuck and/or breast lift are sometimes referred to as a “Mommy Makeover”, because these procedures reverse the effects of pregnancy on the body. As Dr. Pitman is a fully trained plastic surgeon he will offer these procedures to you if he feels they will enhance your appearance.
