Liposuction

Abdomen Liposuction

Abdominal liposuction is probably the most challenging of all liposuctions because there are so many naturally existing aesthetic marks such as “six-pack,” “corset lines,” “midline groove in the upper abdomen,” the belly button, and the “groin lines.” A great plastic surgeon could almost always correct a fat tummy into something very aesthetically pleasing, showing the natural aesthetic/anatomical marks that reflect the natural tension points of the underlying abdominal muscles. Dr. Yu’s experience and expertise with the MicroAire Power-assisted liposuction device certainly contributes to the success rate for achieving great results.

Arm Liposuction

Upper arms could prove to be a tough cookie when traditional liposuction is performed. The old, manual liposuction could easily generate irregularities due to its lack of precision, and the resulting loose skin could make a person look like they have a bat wing. In Dr. Yu’s hands, the MicroAire power-assisted device provides smooth results on the arms but also tightens the skin that may otherwise require an arm lift (excision of excess skin of the arms). 

Knee Liposuction

The area just above the knee could be a troublesome area due to the skin being loose and at times, saggy. If there is extra volume in the area, it can also affect the overall appearance of your leg shape. Luckily, this problem can be drastically reduced as Dr. Yu routinely obtains good results in this region.

Upper Back and Lower Back Liposuction

Upper back is known for its fatty tissue being fibrous and tough, especially the “buffalo hump” region. This problem is best solved with our MicroAire power-assisted device.

The lower back is also called the “bra rolls”. Dr. Yu does a very thorough job here, and when necessary.

Thigh Liposuction

The thighs are divided into medial, frontal, lateral, and posterior areas. While liposuction can be done easily for the frontal and medial areas, the posterior area needs to be approached gingerly, to avoid the important neurovascular bundles. Furthermore, it is mostly unnecessary for liposuction on the lateral/outer thigh, because most people do not have much fat in the middle and the lower section, except for people with “saddlebags”.

A particularly mentionable area is the upper posterior thigh where it connects with the buttocks (Banana Roll). The liposuction done here helps to debulk and straighten up the posterior of the thigh. However, it needs to be done conservatively to avoid the possibility of the buttocks collapsing down, or losing the pillar-like support.

Waist Liposuction

Waist liposuction is easy to learn but hard to refine. While most doctors can remove fat from the waist, Dr. Yu performs liposuction in such a way that he is almost always able to obtain an “hourglass” figure for his patients.  Rather than giving our patients a straight and stiff waist, we emphasize the femininity and beauty of the female patients. The “hourglass” figure coordinates all the essential components in the region, including the lower chest, waist, hip, and tummy, to form natural lines and contours that our patients desire. 

Additionally, Dr. Yu can create an illusion of the lower extremities being lengthened, by elevating the waistline 1 to 2 inches higher.

Correction Liposuction

For people who had failed liposuction, with indentations, pits, or destroyed anatomical structures, Dr. Yu can utilize special tools to carefully recontour the body. Because of the repair power of the fat, it is highly likely that the troubled spots you have, from improperly performed liposuction in the past, could be well reshaped by our doctor.
