Liposuction Philadelphia

With nearly 395,000 procedures during 2023, liposuction is the leading body procedure for men and women in the United States. It is a highly effective procedure that can address numerous problems, most commonly stubborn body fat that persists despite regular exercise and good eating habits.

Stubborn pockets of fat can persist despite a healthy lifestyle, causing frustration for many.

Dr. Godwin offers effective body contouring procedures, including liposuction to address these concerns. Liposuction is a safe and reliable fat reduction treatment that targets stubborn fat, helping you achieve a sleeker, more toned figure.

Liposuction can effectively contour the body, whether it's a small pocket of fat or larger areas.

SmartLipo® in Philadelphia

In addition to traditional liposuction, Dr. Godwin offers SmartLipo®, an advanced laser-assisted lipolysis procedure designed to remove fat while promoting skin tightening and reduced bruising.

While both SmartLipo® and traditional liposuction effectively eliminate stubborn fat, SmartLipo® uses laser technology to enhance tissue contraction, providing smoother, more contoured results. This procedure is ideal for targeting problem areas such as the abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and neck, permanently reducing fat that is resistant to diet and exercise.

What makes SmartLipo® unique is its ability to refine the chin, neck, and lower face, offering a more sculpted, youthful appearance in these delicate areas.

Procedure

Liposuction involves using a thin tube, called a cannula, to gently suction out fat from targeted areas. Dr. Godwin begins by injecting a tumescent solution to numb the area and minimize blood loss, allowing for precise fat removal. Small incisions are made for the cannula to be inserted.

It's not simply about removing fat—an experienced surgeon like Dr. Godwin understands how much fat to remove and where to sculpt, ensuring the results are smooth, balanced, and in harmony with your body’s natural contours.

The incisions from the cannula typically heal quickly and become barely noticeable with minimal scarring. After removing the fat, a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling. Because the incisions are small, they usually heal without stitches.

Recovery

Recovery time varies from patient to patient, as each procedure is unique. Dr. Godwin will discuss realistic expectations for your recovery during your consultation.

Note: Liposuction does not address loose skin, cellulite, or obesity. Discuss your goals with Dr. Godwin to understand the best approach for achieving your desired results.

SmartLipo®: A Minimally Invasive, In-Office Procedure

SmartLipo® is performed right in our office’s private procedure room, eliminating the need for a Surgery Center or hospital setting. Our facility includes a comfortable pre-procedure area, post-op recovery space, and a private consultation room to ensure a seamless and discreet experience.

As a minimally invasive procedure, SmartLipo® requires only tiny incisions and local anesthesia. During the treatment, a thin laser fiber is inserted through a small tube, where the laser ruptures fat cell membranes, permanently destroying fat cells.

Unlike traditional liposuction, SmartLipo® also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin, reducing sagging and enhancing overall contour through laser-assisted coagulation.
