Cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Jennifer Reichel, is confirming a recent finding in the field of cosmetic medicine: liposuction has become the number-one surgical procedure in the US. With hundreds of thousands of lipo procedures performed in 2011, alone, Dr. Reichel continues to see significant growth in the number of tumescent lipo inquiries at her Seattle practice, Pacific Dermatology & Cosmetic Center.
"Tumescent liposuction has long been the best way to tackle stubborn, exercise resistant fat," explains Dr. Reichel. "What's more, we are now finding that it has become the number-one cosmetic surgical procedure in the country." Dr. Reichel's assertions confirm recent data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. According to the organization's most recent report, there were over 325,000 lipo procedures performed in 2011. That represents a remarkable 12.6% growth from just the previous year.
"What's also interesting is that patient satisfaction following liposuction is at an all-time high," reports Dr. Reichel. Citing an April 2012 study published in the journal, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, liposuction was found to produce significantly high rates of patient satisfaction and improved self esteem.
Asked to speculate on the continued momentum of a procedure that's been around since the early 1980s, Dr. Reichel offers a few suggestions. "For one, the procedure is constantly evolving in terms of efficacy and predictability," explains Dr. Reichel. "Secondly, practices like ours are fully committed to patient safety and technological innovation. This means a procedure performed completely under local anesthesia, precise 'liposculpture' techniques and a fully accredited ambulatory surgery center."
Concluding on the future of lipo, Dr. Reichel offered this: "With its proven track record, high patient satisfaction and millions of success stories, I am fairly confident that liposuction will hold its title as the number-one cosmetic surgery in the US for years to come."
