LIPOSUCTION
Is Liposuction Right For Me?
You’re an ideal candidate for liposuction if you:
- Are a healthy adult of any age within 30% of your ideal weight
- Have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
- Do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
- Are non-smokers
- Have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring
Special considerations may be necessary for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or previous surgery to the treatment area.
What Results Should I Expect Right After Liposuction?
- Once the procedure is completed, a compression garment or elastic bandages may cover treatment areas.
- Initial healing will include swelling, numbness, soreness, bruising, and discomfort that can be controlled with medication.
- Your surgeon will provide specific postoperative instructions, such as the use of garments, expected return to activity, and appropriate care of incisions, based on the technique and extent of your procedure.
- In general, a return to light, normal activity is possible as soon as you feel ready and is encouraged to prevent blood clots and other complications.
- Initial wound healing may take 5-10 days, at which time any sutures will be removed, if necessary.
- Healing will continue for several weeks as the swelling continues to dissipate.
- Incision lines will improve over time.
- Continue to follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend follow-up visits as scheduled.
- You will be encouraged to control your weight, as significant weight gain can reverse your results.
What Results Should I expect Over Time?
It may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate. As it does, your new contours and enhanced self-image should continue to develop.
With a healthy and active lifestyle, you will be able to enjoy the balancing, fulfilling results of liposuction for years to come.

Other Popular Procedures
Breast Lift
Breasts that have lost their firm, uplifted contours can affect a woman’s self-image and confidence. A breast lift is a surgical procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts, helping to restore their youthful appearance. This surgery is particularly popular among women who have experienced changes in their breasts due to pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations. At the Center for Aesthetic, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be right for you if you want to restore the firmness and shape of your breasts. The procedure works by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissues, and repositioning the nipples, which can also improve the symmetry and overall shape of the breasts, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
LIPOSUCTION
Trying to exercise off stubborn fat deposits can be frustrating, if not impossible; but at the Center for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, liposuction can help. Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves using a suction technique to remove excess fat from various parts of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Despite efforts to lose weight through exercise and a healthy diet, stubborn fat deposits may persist in these areas. Liposuction provides a solution for eliminating these unwanted fat deposits, resulting in a more contoured and toned appearance. This procedure can effectively remove fatty tissue from just about anywhere on the body, from head to feet, helping you achieve the body shape you desire.
KYBELLA™

Fortunately, a new, highly effective alternative is now available.

This minimally invasive procedure offers a convenient, non-surgical option for those seeking a more sculpted and defined facial profile.
