Achieving a More Contoured, Slim Figure

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat cells from specific areas of the body. It is ideal for patients with localized fat deposits that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. Various techniques, such as laser-assisted liposuction, tumescent liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction, can be used to enhance precision and reduce recovery time. The overall purpose of liposuction is to sculpt the body, refining contours and delivering a more proportionate silhouette.

Precision Liposuction Techniques

What is the Liposuction Procedure Like?

On the day of your procedure, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the treatment area and your preferences. Dr. Lee will make small incisions in the targeted areas, then insert a thin tube called a cannula to break up and suction out the fat cells. Techniques like tumescent liposuction use a specialized solution to reduce bleeding and improve fat removal, while laser-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses advanced technology to liquefy fat for easier removal. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are carefully closed.

What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?

Liposuction is a highly effective treatment for removing excess fat from targeted areas of the body, offering both men and women a refined, natural-looking result. Dr. James Lee, a board-certified plastic surgeon, brings years of experience, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceptional patient care in every procedure.

  • Precision Fat Removal: Liposuction allows targeted removal of localized fat deposits, ensuring more balanced body contours.
  • Long-lasting Results: Once fat cells are removed, they don’t return. As long as patients maintain a stable weight, the results are permanent.
  • Boosted Confidence: Liposuction can help patients feel more comfortable in their skin, especially in areas they’ve struggled with for years.
  • Customizable Treatment: Devices such as J-Plasma and techniques like tumescent liposuction can be tailored to fit individual needs and deliver optimal results.

Realize Your Body Goals

Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is best for individuals who:

  • Are in good general health
  • Have stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise
  • Are at or near their ideal weight
  • Have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve

It is not a weight-loss solution and is not recommended for individuals with significant skin laxity or those who may experience future weight fluctuations. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and those with serious health conditions should avoid the procedure.

Your Silhouette Transformed

Liposuction Recovery

Recovery after liposuction is usually straightforward but requires some planning. Patients will experience swelling and bruising in the treated areas, lasting several weeks. You may need to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the new contours of your body. Most people return to work and light activities within a week, though it may take 6-8 weeks before resuming more strenuous exercises.

Dr. Lee and his team will provide detailed post-operative instructions, and regular follow-up appointments will ensure that you’re healing well and achieving the best possible results.

Sculpted and Balanced

Liposuction Results

Patients can see an improvement in their body contours within a few weeks, but final results typically become visible 3-6 months after surgery as swelling subsides. Liposuction results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. Fat cells removed during the procedure do not grow back, making the effects of the surgery permanent.

Liposuction Frequently Asked Questions

How much fat can be removed during liposuction?

Removing up to 5 liters of fat during a single liposuction session is generally safe, but this depends on the individual’s health and treatment goals.

Is liposuction painful?

Patients typically experience mild discomfort post-surgery, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most discomfort subsides within a few days.

Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Yes, many patients choose to combine liposuction with other cosmetic surgeries, such as a tummy tuck or breast lift, for more comprehensive body contouring results.

Will I have scars after liposuction?

Liposuction incisions are small, usually less than a centimeter. Any resulting scars are typically minimal and fade over time.

When can I return to work after liposuction?

Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 5-7 days, though this depends on the extent of the procedure.

Can the fat come back after liposuction?

Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, but the remaining fat cells can expand if you gain weight after the procedure.

How long does swelling last after liposuction?

Swelling is common and may last for several weeks. Compression garments help minimize swelling and aid recovery.

Can men get liposuction?

Absolutely! Liposuction is popular among both men and women. Common areas for men include the abdomen, chest, and love handles.
