Liposuction
Sculpt Your Body with Confidence
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s not a weight-loss solution, but rather a highly effective method for reshaping and refining specific areas of the body to create a more contoured, proportionate silhouette.
Using advanced techniques, our board-certified plastic surgeons safely and precisely remove localized fat pockets to enhance the body’s natural contours and improve overall balance.

Understanding the Liposuction Procedure
A full facelift is a customized surgical procedure tailored to each patient’s unique needs. The procedure typically involves:
Small, inconspicuous incisions are made near the targeted areas.
A thin tube called a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out fat cells.
Advanced liposuction methods (such as tumescent or power-assisted liposuction) are used to minimize trauma and improve precision.
Once the desired contour is achieved, incisions are closed and dressed.
Liposuction Recovery – What to Expect
Recovery from liposuction is generally straightforward, with most patients able to return to non-strenuous daily activities within just a few days. To aid healing and reduce swelling, you’ll be advised to wear compression garments consistently during the early recovery phase.
It’s normal to experience bruising, swelling, and soreness for the first one to two weeks. Most individuals feel well enough to return to work within three to five days, depending on the areas treated and the extent of the procedure. However, strenuous exercise and vigorous physical activity should be avoided for at least three to four weeks to allow your body time to heal properly.
Final results from liposuction will gradually become visible as swelling continues to subside over the following weeks and months. Although the fat cells removed during liposuction are gone for good, maintaining your results requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stable body weight.
Liposuction FAQs
What is the main benefit of liposuction?
Liposuction is one of the most effective ways to remove stubborn fat and sculpt your body in a way that diet and exercise often can’t. It enhances your body’s natural shape and provides long-lasting contour improvements.
Will liposuction help me lose weight?
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It is designed to remove targeted fat for shaping and contouring, typically best for patients who are already close to their ideal weight.
Is liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed through liposuction are gone for good. However, weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells to expand, so maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your results.
Will I have scars?
Liposuction incisions are small and placed strategically to minimize visibility. Scars are generally minimal and fade over time.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or mommy makeover to achieve more comprehensive body transformation results.
