Liposuction
We are proud to offer our Seattle patients our extensive experience and expertise in liposuction, the single most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S. today.All liposuction procedures are done in Dr. Reichel’s AAAHC accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center, assuring the highest level of safety and care for her patients. Liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat that has not responded to diet and exercise from the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. Liposuction not only offers the opportunity to slim and contour chubby areas of the body;by removing the fat cells, it also ensures that these areas will not accumulate fatty deposits in the future.
Dr. Reichel will at times pair your liposuction treatment with BodyTite, FaceTite or AccuTite for optimal results. There are several benefits to this: enhanced fat removal, skin tightening, improved body contouring and long-lasting results!
BodyTite
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to heat the deep tissues of the skin. RFAL is administered with a wand that is inserted under the skin through a minimal incision. This generated heat beneath the skin stimulates collagen production to tighten the deep layers of the skin and connective tissues for a lifting effect. RFAL also melts fat to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. This combination of skin tightening and fat reduction significantly improves the appearance of excess skin for superior body contouring results.
AccuTite
AccuTite is the smallest “Tite” technology designed to treat delicate tissues and small areas on the face and body. AccuTite uses heat generated by RF technology to lift and tighten loose skin for a more youthful appearance and improved body or facial contours. This minimally invasive body contouring procedure is a great option for non-surgical skin tightening since it creates amazing results with minimal downtime.
FaceTite
FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that is a great alternative to a surgical facelift. Using RF energy, FaceTite smooths fine lines and wrinkles, lifts sagging skin, and eliminates excess fat to sharpen your facial contours. With just one treatment, you can enjoy a rejuvenated look with restored youthfulness
