Lipo & Fat Removal Surgery in the Brookfield & Wauwatosa area

Do you have unwanted fat that you simply can’t get rid of no matter how much you diet or exercise? Have you had unsuccessful bariatric or weight loss surgery that left some of that unwanted fat lingering? Then you may be an ideal candidate for liposuction!

Liposuction is for a focused pocket of fat that is out of proportion with the rest of your body. These pockets tend to bulge out from the rest of your body and frequently become the focus of discontentment with your shape.

Lipo will not replace a good diet or exercise program, but it can give you a wonderful change that diet and exercise may not. Consider getting liposuction (also known as ‘lipo’ or ‘lipoplasty’) to help you achieve a thinner, more youthful silhouette!

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a fat removal surgery that uses a vacuum to pull out excess fat out from beneath the skin.  A small incision is made, however, the scar is barely visible (if at all), so you don’t have to worry when swimsuit season comes around!

Lipo is the most popular cosmetic surgery and, according to recent statistics, it is increasing in popularity. There are many different methods of doing lipo, such as: tumescent liposuction, power assisted liposuction, ultrasound liposuction, and laser liposuction. All techniques are effective. The most important factor in determining your results is the surgeon and their experience with their preferred method.

Dr. Kramer is known for her dramatic body contouring skills and can help you achieve the shape of your dreams! Contact Dr. Kramer today to learn more about liposuction.

Lipo for Inherited Stubborn Fat

Genetics significantly determine our shape and where we inherit fat cells. Rarely does a body have fat cells perfectly and evenly distributed. Some areas of our body inherit more fat cells and these areas frequently become our “problem areas.” Unfortunately, you may have inherited a problem from your family, but fortunately it doesn’t have to stay that way. Liposuction easily targets these problem areas, permanently reduces the fat cells, and blends down the area to balance it with the rest of your body.

Is Lipo Permanent?

Fat cells removed through liposuction are permanently removed. If you gain weight, the remaining fat cells will enlarge in the area just as they will elsewhere in your body. But the fat cells that lipo removes are gone and the pocket will never be as large as it would have been.

Diet & Exercise Resistant Fat

“Diet and exercise resistant” refers to the areas of your body where you genetically inherited more fat cells. These areas bulge, are out of proportion, or are larger than the surrounding areas. If you pinch in one of these areas, it feels thicker than if you pinch around it. Diet and exercise can shrink these areas, but still won’t make them proportionate to the rest of your body. Since the problem areas stay out of proportion, many people refer to them as “diet and exercise resistant” areas. Liposuction essentially “spot reduces.” It targets the problem area and therefore selectively reduces it. The end result is a tailored, trimmer you!

Liposuction Surgery Procedure in Greater Milwaukee

Small incisions are made and a wetting fluid with medicine (tumescent) is placed in the fat. Dr. Kramer then uses a vacuum attached to a fine instrument called a cannula to remove the excess fat from beneath the skin. Dr. Kramer then blends the fat layer so it’s smooth. This is very important to get the best liposuction results. The incisions are barely visible (if at all), and well hidden. For example, the belly button or buttock crease, so you don’t have to worry when swimsuit season comes around!

What to Expect from Liposuction

Liposuction is safe and its popularity is increasing in Dr. Kramer’s practice because of the incredible results and patient satisfaction. You can expect to have a much trimmer, sculpted shape, and it’s easier to find clothes that fit and look great. If there is damaged or loose skin on the abdomen because of pregnancy or weight loss, a tummy tuck may be recommended. There are risks with any procedure, including liposuction. Liposuction side effects include bruising, possible loose skin, blood clots, irregular contour, and fluid collection. Complications after lipo are rare and prevention is always discussed before your procedure.

Dr. Kramer’s patients can expect a great new body contour that is exciting to see in the mirror. However, lipo is not a weight loss treatment and cellulite will not change.

Undergoing liposuction results in a more even, desirable body shape without those problem areas and unwanted fat, leaving our Brookfield patients feeling more confident!

Recovery After Liposuction

Results are typically noticeable right away and continue to improve as swelling decreases. The discomfort after liposculpture is usually very minimal, often compared to the feeling of a “deep bruise.” This can easily be managed with pain medication, although many patients will choose not to take any at all.

Depending on the area that was treated, you will be wearing a tummy binder or pressure garment for a few weeks. This fits easily under your clothing and minimizes swelling. After this period, you can resume strenuous exercise. Depending on your job, most people return to work in just a few days!

Liposuction Cost

The average national surgery fee for liposuction is $3,350.00. The price will depend on the number of areas you want reduced and how much fat needs to be removed. The price will always be customized to you, and you will pay less than someone who has more fat than you.

We do offer financing and many patients take advantage of credit cards that offer a period of 12-18 months interest-free.

Liposuction for Men

Men tend to deposit their weight differently than women. While women frequently carry excess fat cells in their thighs and hips, men frequently carry it in their abdomen, chest, or the area just above or at their beltline, otherwise known as “love handles”.  Additional common areas for male liposuction are the jawline, neck, and chin. Like other pockets of fat, lipo can easily trim these down and leave a more sculpted physique.

Liposuction Testimonials

“I did my research to find a great doctor and after some interviews I found Dr Kramer. I had numerous consultations with other doctors and Dr Kramer was the only doctor who took time in our initial consultation to explain exactly what was going to happen. Dr Kramer even took time to explain recovery times and medication doses to my husband. My results were beyond my expectations. I would recommend Dr Kramer to anyone looking to have any body work done. Results are fantastic and she is just a great doctor.”
