Liposuction
Achieve a slimmer, more sculpted physique with liposuction. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carey Nease, MD, specializes in expert liposuction in Chattanooga, TN, and nearby areas, helping patients eliminate stubborn fat and refine their natural contours with precision and artistry.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping to contour and refine the body’s shape. Commonly performed on areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and back, liposuction targets localized fat to create a slimmer, more proportional appearance.
This procedure involves making small, discreet incisions through which a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted to gently suction out unwanted fat. Liposuction can be customized to each patient’s needs, addressing one or multiple areas for a balanced, natural-looking result.
For those considering liposuction in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease offers advanced techniques to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals with precision and care.
