Liposuction

Liposuction is designed to refine and contour specific areas of the body by removing localized fat deposits that may not respond to diet or exercise. It can:

• Improve overall body contour and proportion

• Reduce fullness in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or under the chin

• Enhance definition in select areas

• Create a smoother, more balanced silhouette

The goal is not weight loss, but a more refined and proportionate shape.

Liposuction is performed using small, carefully placed incisions through which excess fat is gently removed. Each procedure is tailored to the individual and may be performed using:

• Anesthesia: general anesthesia, sedation, or local anesthesia depending on the procedure

• Duration: approximately 1-4 hours, depending on the areas treated

• Location: performed at the Surgical Arts Surgical Center

Your surgical plan is customized based on your anatomy and goals.

Liposuction is often combined with other procedures to enhance overall balance and achieve a more comprehensive result, including:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)

• Breast procedures (augmentation, lift, or reduction)

• Fat grafting

• Body lift procedures

• Non-invasive skin tightening or resurfacing

These combinations are selected thoughtfully based on your goals and anatomy.

Recovery occurs gradually, with most patients progressing through predictable stages:

• Social downtime: many patients begin to feel comfortable going out within a few days

• Exercise: typically resumed around 2–4 weeks

• Final results: continue to refine over several months as swelling resolves

We provide detailed guidance throughout recovery to ensure healing is smooth, comfortable, and well-supported.

Liposuction is best suited for patients who are close to their ideal weight but have areas of localized fullness that do not respond to diet or exercise.

Good candidates typically:

• Are at or near a stable weight

• Have good skin quality and elasticity

• Are looking to refine contour rather than achieve weight loss

• Are in overall good health

In some cases, if there is significant skin laxity, other procedures may be recommended to achieve a more balanced result. During your consultation, we assess your anatomy and goals to determine the most appropriate approach.

Liposuction is designed to refine and contour specific areas of the body, with an emphasis on balance and proportion. The investment reflects the level of precision, experience, and care involved.

In our practice, liposuction procedures range from approximately $5,000 to $12,500, depending on the areas treated and the degree of contouring required to achieve a natural, balanced result.

This typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility costs.

We believe in being transparent and thoughtful in this process, and a detailed, personalized estimate is provided during your consultation so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
