Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits and reshape targeted areas. It is not a weight-loss surgery but rather a way to enhance definition in areas where fat cells accumulate.
At Sculpt Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we personalize each liposuction procedure to enhance your body's definition while maintaining natural-looking proportions. Our cosmetic surgeons use precision techniques to reveal smooth, elegant contours.
Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or, in some cases, local anesthesia with sedation. Our surgeons use advanced liposuction techniques to sculpt the treatment areas with artistry and precision.
Liposuction takes one to three hours, depending on the treatment areas. Patients return home the same day.
Liposuction can be used on several areas of the body, providing a versatile, targeted method for body contouring.
Each treatment plan is customized to refine your natural body shape while maintaining balance and symmetry.
Liposuction removes unwanted fat, revealing smoother, more sculpted body lines.
Unlike weight loss, which affects the entire body, liposuction surgery focuses on specific areas, ensuring precision body contouring.
Once fat cells are removed, they do not regenerate. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle ensures lasting improvements.
Achieving your aesthetic goals can lead to greater self-confidence and a more comfortable fit in clothing.
You may be a good candidate for liposuction surgery if you are at a healthy, stable weight but have stubborn fat deposits. Patients with good skin elasticity will achieve the best results.
Those with concerns about skin laxity may benefit from combining liposuction with another procedure like a tummy tuck, arm lift or body lift. Candidates should be non-smokers who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the procedureLiposuction is not recommended for individuals with poor skin elasticity, certain medical conditions, or those seeking a weight-loss alternative. During your consultation, we will assess your body composition and overall health to determine if liposuction is right for you.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising in the first week. Compression garments help reduce swelling and support healing.
What to Expect After Surgery:
Following post-operative care instructions ensures the best body contouring results. Your surgeon will provide detailed guidelines and check your healing progress at post-operative appointments.
Liposuction enhances your natural body contours, creating a smoother, sculpted silhouette that complements your proportions. Removing stubborn fat deposits refines areas like the waist, thighs, arms, and abdomen, helping you achieve a balanced, natural-looking shape. While initial improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, final results develop over three to six months as swelling subsides and your body fully adjusts.
Liposuction results are long-lasting, as the removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, maintaining refined contours depends on a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Proper care will make your new shape a lasting investment in your confidence and self-image.
