Liposuction
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise. It is not a weight-loss surgery. Instead, it is designed to refine specific areas of the body and improve overall shape and proportion.
Liposuction can treat one or multiple areas during the same procedure, helping create smoother contours and a more balanced appearance.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that permanently removes excess fat cells from targeted areas of the body using a thin, specialized tube called a cannula. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, arms, back, chest, and neck.
Many patients maintain a healthy lifestyle but still struggle with localized fat due to genetics, aging, or hormonal changes. Liposuction addresses these areas directly by removing fat cells, resulting in improved contour and definition.
When performed by experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons, liposuction is a precise procedure focused on safety, balance, and natural-looking results.
During your consultation, you will meet with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals and concerns. Your anatomy, fat distribution, skin quality, and overall health will be carefully evaluated.
Dr. Parcells and Dr. Pasick take a personalized approach to liposuction, helping determine which areas can be treated
and whether liposuction alone or in combination with another procedure will provide the best result.
You will also review the procedure, anesthesia options, recovery timeline, and potential risks so you can make an informed decision.
You may be a good candidate for Liposuction if you:
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Have specific areas of stubborn fat
- Maintain a stable weight
- Have good skin elasticity
- Are in good overall health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery
- Have realistic expectations
Liposuction is not intended for significant weight loss or loose skin. Your surgeon will help guide you to the best option for your body and goals.
Recovery depends on the areas treated and the extent of the procedure. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first few weeks.
Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support healing. Many patients return to light
activity within a few days and resume most normal activities within one to two weeks.
Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling fully resolves.
The cost of liposuction varies based on the areas treated, the complexity of the procedure, and whether it is combined with other surgeries. Because every treatment plan is customized, pricing is determined during an in-person consultation.
Financing options may be available. A detailed cost estimate will be provided after your consultation.
