What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that allows excess fat to be removed. Using a laser, your surgeon will break up the fat cells and then remove them permanently with a micro-liposuction device.

Who's a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Mothers
Those who have been through pregnancy know the toll it can take on the body. Women may have stubborn areas of fat that are harder to get rid of after having children. Liposuction can help!
Getting Older
Gravity becomes a factor in our overall appearance as we age. If you have noticed stubborn areas of fat that you can't seem to get rid of with diet and exercise, you are not alone. With any surgery, an ideal liposuction candidate is in good health and within 30% of their ideal weight.
Good Bill of Health
It is best to be a non-smoker or be willing to stop smoking before liposuction. This will help to ensure the best recovery and healing possible.

Liposuction FAQ
What kind of sedation or anesthesia is used for liposuction?
We use a combination of IV sedation or “twilight anesthesia” and a diluted local anesthetic (tumescent anesthesia). This combination is by far the safest way to approach this surgery. Some people prefer to be awake for liposuction and that can be done very comfortably by adjusting the tumescent fluid and technique allowing a procedure without an IV or sedation medications.
Is liposuction painful?
The procedure can be done in such a way that it is close to painless. The tumescent fluid causes profound anesthesia (numbness) when doing smaller areas. For multiple areas or large areas, not as strong of a local can be used, so sedation may be required.
When can you see the final results from liposuction?
You can begin to see changes as early as 2 weeks, but it takes about 6 months to see final results.
How long is the recovery for liposuction?
The vast majority of patients are back to work in a few days and exercising in about 1-2 weeks.
Will I have a scar from liposuction?
The scars are tiny dots and generally fade over time.
Do I need to be in a hospital or stay overnight after my liposuction?
No, this is an outpatient procedure. You should be able to have dinner in your home the night of surgery. You'll actually want to push yourself to be as active as possible right after surgery, as this helps speed up the recovery process.
