For patients who are interested in improving their body’s contours through liposuction, Michigan’s premier surgeons for such a procedure
can be found at the Straith Clinic. This treatment is particularly effective for patients who are no considerably overweight. Those who do not fit the preferred
criteria for achieving the most satisfactory results may have to accept skin irregularities in return for an improved overall appearance. The tumescent technique that
is performed in most instances at Straith guarantees the most dramatic results of any clinic that specializes in liposuction in Michigan. This procedure requires a saline
solution to be injected into the excess deposits of fat in order to assist in the ease of its removal. No other clinic that performs liposuction in Michigan can offer the
care and expertise that the doctors at the Straith Clinic pride themselves upon.
Patients of reasonably normal weight with good skin elasticity
are the best candidates. Patients that are less than optimal
candidates must accept a greater likelihood of skin irregularities
in return for a better appearance in clothing. The liposuction
procedure involves the use of traditional tumescent technique and/or
ultrasonic assisted liposuction.
The Tumescent technique involves injecting the areas of
the fat to be removed with a solution of saline and local
anesthetic. This numbs the area, decreases blood loss, and allows
for easier removal of fat. A suction tube is passed through one or
two small incisions and then moved back and forth under the skin to
remove the fat.
Power Assisted liposuction (PAL) technique involves using
an oscillating liposuction tip that helps to remove fat more
efficiently. It is especially well suited for fibrotic areas and can
lessen trauma to tissues.
Ultrasonic-Assisted liposuction (UAL)at the Straith Clinic
in Bingham Farms, Michigan near Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham,
MI is a procedure that uses the tumescent technique and then
utilizes high frequency sound waves to liquefy the fat which
is then aspirated. It is used on selective body areas.
