Some parts of the body won’t budge no matter how many different types of exercises are employed. Thanks to genetics, both men and women tend to store stubborn fat in specific areas, including the hips and waist, resulting in saddle bags and love handles. For these patients, the best answer to getting rid of these excess fat deposits is liposuction. In addition to removing any unwanted fat, liposuction will also magnify the results of all the hard work put into diet and exercise.

Although it takes Dr. Racanelli a little longer to extract the fat with his smaller cannulas, his unparalleled surgical results are smooth and even.

The required incisions that are made for the insertion of these custom cannulas are also very small. Furthermore, Dr. Racanelli makes every effort to make as few incisions as possible, and conceal the location of these incisions within natural folds or creases, resulting in scars that are almost imperceptible. In addition to the custom-made cannulas that Dr. Racanelli uses, he makes it a point to re-position each patient several times during the liposuction procedure. By changing the position of the patient during the procedure, along with using various liposculpture techniques, Dr. Racanelli is able to target those hard to reach places with absolute precision.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Racanelli can perform a thorough examination, and determine if liposuction is right for you. The length of time that this surgical procedure takes is largely dependent upon the amount of fat that you wish to remove. However, most liposuction procedures take from one to six hours to complete.
