What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that traditionally uses suction through a cannula to remove localized, stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Our surgeons use modern methods for precision sculpting, enhancing your body’s natural shape and proportions. Liposuction can be used in various areas, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and more, allowing patients to achieve a more streamlined silhouette. While not a substitute for weight loss, liposuction is a popular choice for individuals seeking a more sculpted appearance.

Artful Sculpting and Shaping

Your Liposuction Procedure

The liposuction process typically begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon then makes small incisions in the target areas, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. Using a back-and-forth motion, excess fat is carefully suctioned out to achieve the desired contours. Advanced techniques, such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL) or laser-assisted liposuction (LAL), may be employed for enhanced precision and reduced recovery times.

A Life Refined

Depending on your unique goals, you can anticipate a more defined waistline, smoother thighs, sculpted arms, and more. The outcome? A harmonious and balanced silhouette that aligns with your vision of yourself. While individual results vary, many patients experience a noticeable improvement shortly after the procedure, with continued refinement as any post-operative swelling subsides.

Liposuction Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, we give our patients post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery. While some initial swelling and bruising are expected, these effects gradually subside over the following weeks, revealing the improved contours. Liposuction candidates can anticipate visible results shortly after the procedure, with the final outcome becoming more apparent as the body fully heals. We offer ongoing guidance throughout the recovery process, offering the support and information to help our clients enjoy excellent results.

Liposuction Frequently Asked Questions

What areas of the body can be treated with Liposuction?

Liposuction is versatile and can target various areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, and more. Treatment areas depend on individual concerns and goals. Your plastic surgeon can recommend the most effective approach during a consultation.

Is Liposuction a weight loss method?

While liposuction removes localized fat, it is not a weight loss solution. It is more suitable for contouring and refining body proportions. Candidates should be at or near a stable weight, using liposuction to address areas that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods.

What type of anesthesia is used during Liposuction?

Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia, but local anesthesia with sedation might be an option for smaller procedures. The choice depends on the extent of the liposuction and individual factors. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss the most suitable anesthesia approach during the consultation.

How long is the recovery period after Liposuction?

Recovery times vary, but patients can typically expect some initial swelling and bruising. Most people can return to light activities within a week, with more strenuous activities gradually resumed over a few weeks. Following post-operative care instructions, including wearing compression garments, is very important for optimal recovery.

Can Liposuction be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, liposuction is often combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation to achieve comprehensive body contouring. Combining procedures can offer more comprehensive results. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the best approaches to help you meet your individual goals.
