Liposuction/Vaser/Renuvion
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that refines the body’s silhouette by permanently removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss operation but a targeted reshaping technique that enhances proportion and contour.
How Does Surgery Work?
Liposuction is performed under local anesthesia (with or without sedation) or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made in the skin, and a thin cannula is inserted to gently break up and suction out excess fat. The surgeon may use techniques such as tumescent liposuction and power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to improve precision and minimize bleeding, bruising, and swelling. Compression garments are worn after surgery to support healing, and final results appear over several months as swelling subsides.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for liposuction are adults who have localized fat deposits that don’t respond to healthy eating and exercise, are at or near their ideal weight, and have good skin elasticity. It is important that candidates are in overall good health and have realistic expectations, understanding that liposuction is for contouring rather than significant weight loss.
Why Consider Liposuction?
Sometimes even dedicated diet and exercise can’t eliminate stubborn fat pockets in areas like the abdomen, flanks, arms, or thighs. Liposuction offers a precise way to remove these fat deposits, helping create a smoother, more balanced body shape and boosting confidence. Because the fat cells removed do not regenerate, results tend to be long-lasting when weight is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions
No — liposuction is intended to contour and reshape targeted areas. It is not designed for large-scale weight loss, and stable weight improves long-term results.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), hips, thighs, arms, back, inner knees, and neck, based on individual evaluation.
Most patients return to light activities within a few days and normal exercise within 4–6 weeks. Swelling and bruising may last several weeks, and final contouring becomes more evident over 3–6 months.
Liposuction removes fat deposits but does not directly treat cellulite; other technologies may be more suitable for skin texture concerns.
Yes. Once fat cells are removed, they do not return; however, remaining fat cells can expand if weight is gained, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve results.
Incisions are small (typically 2–3 mm) and strategically placed so they become barely visible over time.
As with all surgery, risks include infection, anesthesia reactions, bleeding, contour irregularities, numbness, and uneven results. These are reviewed during your consultation.
