Overview
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss treatment. It works best for patients near a stable, healthy weight who have specific pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. We use tumescent and power-assisted techniques depending on the treatment area, and we're direct about which regions will respond well versus areas where skin laxity may limit the result.
What to expect
The journey
- 01
Contour consultation
We map target areas and discuss whether skin elasticity supports liposuction alone or would benefit from a combined lift.
- 02
Pre-operative planning
We confirm technique, volume expectations per area, and anesthesia approach.
- 03
Procedure day
Typically an outpatient procedure lasting one to three hours depending on the number of areas treated.
- 04
Compression fitting
A custom compression garment is fitted before you leave to support healing tissue.
Afterward
Recovery
- 01
Week 1
Soreness and swelling are most pronounced; compression garments are worn continuously.
- 02
Weeks 2–4
Most patients return to desk work within days and resume exercise gradually by week four.
- 03
3–6 months
Final contour emerges as residual swelling resolves and skin retracts.
