Liposuction for the Quarantine 15
Liposuction for the Quarantine 15 –
As social distancing is starting to wind down in Oakland County, many of us are looking in the mirror and are frustrated to see that extra fat that has accumulated from several weeks of not doing much but snacking and watching TV. Sometimes dubbed the “Quarantine 15” by the media, the reality is that most people have only gained about 3 to 5 pounds during the coronavirus lockdown.
But whether you have gained an extra 3 pounds or an extra 15 pounds, getting rid of that unwanted fat is probably now a priority. And with summer now upon us, and all of us spending more time outdoors, it’s easy to get discouraged by this frustrating fat on our belly, thighs, love handles, hips and arms.
The good news is that thanks to developments in tumescent liposuction technologies, almost any area of the body can have liposuction, including the face, neck, chin, belly, hips, buttocks, thighs, back, arms, calves, ankles, knees and male breasts. State-of-the-art tumescent liposuction is performed using a very tiny incision and a very fine cannula (tube) to remove the fat. This means that the procedure is very gentle as well as very precise – – enabling Oakland Count plastic surgeon Dr. Ali to perform it almost anywhere on the body. Only local anesthetic is needed, and patients resume normal activities almost immediately!
Liposuction is ideal for stubborn pockets of fat almost anywhere on the body that simply do not respond to exercise or dieting. Usually this type of fat is hereditary to some degree, and the only way to permanently remove it is with liposuction.
However, while you will lose inches and pounds of fat, remember that liposuction is not a “weight loss” procedure for obese of very overweight individuals.
Listed below are some of the most common areas of the body on which liposuction is performed. Click on any body part to learn more about liposuction for that part of the body!

Hips & Saddlebag Liposuction
Any woman with “big hips” will tell you that the hips are one of the hardest places to lose fat. Often times all of the diet and exercise in the world won’t help because hip shape is primarily the result of heredity. But the good news is that liposuction can be done to the hips to dramatically help lose inches and contour the hips.

And while diet and exercise can help many areas of the body, it typically does nothing to reduce fatty deposits on the face.

Ankle, Calf & Leg Liposuction

This is because fat on the calves and ankles it is almost entirely due to genetics – and no amount of dieting or exercise will help. The good news is that thick calves & ankles can now permanently be a thing of the past with calf and ankle liposuction.
