What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a safe, minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods. Commonly treated areas include the:

  • The abdomen – upper abdomen and lower abdomen (belly fat)
  • The flanks – the hips or “love handles.”
  • The buttocks
  • The neck and chin area 
  • Inner knee and calves
  • The upper arms
  • The back and armpit area 
  • The thighs – inner and outer thighs
  • The pubic region


Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but a body contouring method that refines and defines your shape.

Our Advanced Liposuction Techniques

At Concierge Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we use power-assisted liposuction (PAL)—an advanced technique that provides greater precision, reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, and a quicker recovery than traditional methods.

We also offer tumescent liposuction, a technique in which a sterile fluid is injected into the targeted fat layer. This fluid contains:

  • Lidocaine to minimize discomfort
  • Epinephrine to reduce bleeding and bruising
  • Saline solution to loosen fat for easier removal


This approach allows for a smoother fat removal experience and shorter recovery time.

What to Expect: Consultation, Recovery, and Results

Your Personal Consultation

During your visit, we will assess your target areas, review your medical history, and help determine the best surgical plan to meet your aesthetic goals for your new sculpted figure. We'll also provide pre-op and post-op guidance.

Day of the Procedure

Liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and your preferences. Tiny incisions are made, and a cannula is inserted to break down and suction fat from the body.

Recovery and Results

  • Return to light activities: Within 1 week
  • Resume exercise: 4–6 weeks, depending on your healing
  • Final results: Visible once swelling subsides, usually within 1–3 months
  • Scarring: Minimal and typically hidden in natural creases
  • Compression garments are often worn to minimize swelling and help your body adjust to its new shape.

Liposuction FAQs

Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?

Will the fat come back after liposuction?

Can liposuction tighten loose skin?

When can I return to work or exercise?

Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?

No. Liposuction is intended for body sculpting, not weight reduction. It’s most effective for patients near their goal weight who want to refine specific stubborn fat pockets.

Will the fat come back after liposuction?

Fat cells are permanently removed, but remaining cells can still expand. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to preserving your results.

Can liposuction tighten loose skin?

Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t address loose skin. For patients with reduced skin elasticity, we may recommend pairing liposuction with a skin-tightening procedure.

When can I return to work or exercise?

Most patients return to light activities within a week. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks or until cleared by your surgeon.
