www.drdecherd.com To eliminate stubborn fatty deposits on specific areas of the body, Michael E. Decherd, MD may recommend liposuction. Contact our board certified plastic surgeon today for more information. If you are experiencing stubborn fat deposits on certain areas of the body that cannot be eliminated through regular diet and exercise, Michael E. Decherd, MD may suggest liposuction (lipoplasty). With board certification from the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto) and the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), Dr. Decherd is highly qualified to perform this procedure. Liposuction is performed by making an incision in the targeted area and inserting a long tube called a cannula to vacuum out the fat. It is very important to note that this procedure is not meant as a means for weight loss, but rather as a way of reshaping a specific body area. For patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin, a different procedure may be better suited to reach your desired results. Visit Dr. Decherds Web site to schedule a consultation and learn more about your options.
