COMBINE LIPOSUCTION WITH THERMAGE FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS!
Adding Thermage at the same time as your liposuction procedure will tone and tighten your skin, further enhancing the final outcome of the procedure. This can often produce results similar to that of a surgical lift, but with no down-time. Thermage uses radio-frequency to tighten skin - producing smoother and more youthful looking skin on the face, neck, and body.

Liposuction of the Breast and Body
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical technique that can efficiently contour a region of the body, resulting a more youthful and sculpted appearance. Excellent liposuction result depend on removing a sufficient amount of fat to contour the body, but leaving enough fat behind for the result to be smooth and natural appearing.
Regions of the body that can be contoured with liposuction include
- Abdomen (tummy)
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs and calves
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Neck
- Breast
Liposuction relies on the skin's natural elastic properties, which allow the skin to contract down around the reduced volume of each treated area. Patients with youthful and elastic skin tend have the best results with liposuction. Patients with stretch marks and loose folds of skin do not benefit from liposuction treatment and should consider other types of body contouring surgery.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure using relatively simple surgical equipment. Recently, many new liposuction devices have been introduced into the market, all claiming to cause skin 'tightening' in addition to removing fat. These devices include the use of burning lasers (like Smart Lipo), hot ultra-sound energy probes (Vaser) or traumatic water jets (BodyJet). Medical research has questioned the safety and efficacy of skin heating during liposuction procedures. Most plastic surgeons agree that skin-heating with lasers during liposuction is an unnecessary and potentially dangerous practice.

Our liposuction technique is called Fractional Liposuction and uses a power-assisted liposculpting (PAL) instrument. Tumescent anesthesia is used in addition to intra-venous sedation. The Fractional Liposuction technique recognizes that in order to properly contour a body region, some fat must be removed, but some important fatty tissue must also be preserved to prevent contour irregularities. Dr. Sattler will plan your liposuction procedure by examining the region to be treated, and its relationship to zones of adhesion. Meticulous planning of liposuction procedures is essential for a smooth post-operative contour.
During a liposuction procedure, patient safety and comfort is our top priority. Fractional Liposuction is done using Twilight Anesthesia. We believe anesthesia is an important part of every liposuction procedure. In our surgery center, all liposuction patients are cared for by a certified anesthesia provider. All liposuction procedures are done in our Medicare and Washington State certified Ambulatory Surgery Center in Bellevue, WA.
