Liposuction

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a body sculpting cosmetic surgery done to eliminate stubborn pockets of excess fat cells. This body contouring treatment can be used on many areas of the body, including the neck, arms, back, breasts, hips, love handles, saddlebags, buttocks, thighs, calves, enlarged male breast tissue, and more.

Who is a Candidate?

If you’re at a normal weight and have localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, you can benefit from a liposuction procedure. This procedure can remove excess fat to create a more defined contour in many areas of the body for a younger, healthier appearance. You should be healthy, non-smoking, and near your ideal weight with good skin elasticity. 

It’s important to remember that liposuction is not a weight loss solution for those who are obese and requires you to stick to a healthy lifestyle. If you have significant excess skin, a plastic surgery procedure to lift and excise the skin may also be needed. A consultation with Dr. Sweat can help to determine if this cosmetic surgery can help you meet your aesthetic goals.

This surgeon is an artist!

I have had a multi-procedure surgery that was very difficult to recover from: a breast lift with augmentation, a lower body lift, and a BBL. This surgeon is an artist! I had a lot of extra skin after losing a lot of weight from bariatric surgery. The symmetry of his cuts is amazing. And even though I’m still recovering, I can already see how amazing the results are! I cannot recommend Dr. Sweat enough for these types of procedures. – Melissa S.

The Procedure

Liposuction surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Liposuction uses small, blunt-tipped tubes called cannulas inserted through small incisions in the skin. The tubes will be moved under the skin to suction out unwanted fat cells. This process is done carefully to avoid areas of excessive fat removal causing divots or dents and lumpiness.

Dr. Sweat offers multiple types of liposuction and will choose the right one for you during a private consultation.

Benefits

Of Liposuction

Liposuction offers many benefits, and Dr. Sweat can help you learn more during a consultation.

Long-Lasting Body Contouring

The results of liposuction can last as long as you maintain them. Once the fat cells are removed, they can no longer expand with weight gain.

Minimally-Invasive Surgical Procedure

Liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure, meaning you can get back to your regular schedule sooner.

Targeted Fat Reduction

Liposuction is the only way to reduce fatty tissue in a targeted manner. If diet and exercise haven’t produced results, liposuction can help.

The Results

Following liposuction, drains may be placed to collect any excess fluids. Surgical garments and compression garments will need to be worn to diminish swelling. Bruising and swelling are common with liposuction recovery, and any discomfort can be controlled with pain medication. While most of the swelling will resolve within 2-4 weeks after surgery, your liposuction results will continue to improve gradually over the next several months. When the small incisions heal, they are barely noticeable. Follow-up visits will be needed after surgery to ensure proper healing.
