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. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, and under the chin.
The Benefits of 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.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Improved body shape and definition
- Long-lasting fat reduction with proper maintenance
- Enhanced confidence and body image
When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, liposuction can provide natural-looking, balanced results with minimal downtime.
How the Liposuction Procedure Works
Liposuction is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. Through a few small incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is used to gently break up and suction out fat, allowing for smoother, more contoured results. Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure typically takes one to three hours and is done under local or general anesthesia.
Afterward, you'll wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support recovery. Most people return to light activities within a few days and see noticeable improvements as the swelling subsides.
Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
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.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Liposuction Permanent?
Yes. Liposuction permanently eliminates fat cells in the treated areas, but your results can change if you gain weight after the procedure.
Will I Have Visible Scars?
Incisions are small and strategically placed. With proper aftercare, they typically fade and become barely noticeable.
Can Liposuction Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck or body lift for more comprehensive results.
