What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to create smoother, more proportional contours. It is not a weight-loss solution, but rather a targeted body contouring treatment ideal for individuals close to their goal weight but with areas of fat that persist despite healthy habits.

The Benefits of a Liposuction

Liposuction offers both aesthetic and psychological benefits, making it one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in the country. Patients often feel more confident in their appearance and more comfortable in their clothing after treatment.

  • Improved body shape and definition
    Target specifically the areas where your body naturally holds fat, sculpting smoother and more proportionate contours.
  • Long-lasting fat reduction
    The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently gone. With proper maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, your results will endure.
  • Enhanced confidence and body image
    Eliminate the frustration of diet-resistant bulges, allowing you to feel more empowered and comfortable in your skin and clothing.
  • Natural-looking, balanced results
    When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, liposuction provides harmony with your natural physique with minimal downtime.

Are You a GoodCandidate?

Liposuction works best for individuals who are healthy, close to their preferred weight, and want to fine-tune specific areas rather than undergo a major transformation.

The best results are typically seen in patients with good skin elasticity, allowing the skin to conform smoothly to the body’s new contours. If you have significant loose skin, other procedures like a tummy tuck or Renuvion skin tightening may be recommended.

During your consultation at DVA Plastic Surgery, we’ll assess your goals, review your health history, and determine whether liposuction is the right option for you.

How the Procedure Works

  • Anesthesia & Incisions
    Performed under local or general anesthesia. A few very small, strategic incisions are made.
  • Targeted Suction
    A thin tube (cannula) is used to gently break up and permanently suction out the fat.
  • Recovery
    You’ll wear a compression garment to minimize swelling. Most return to light activity in days.

Duration: Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours.
