What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction, the most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States, removes stubborn fat from the abdomen, hips and flanks, thighs, arms, and chin and neck. Because fat cells are removed, future buildup in the treated area is reduced; a stable weight helps maintain your contour.
Personalized Liposuction in Princeton, NJ
Each consultation is tailored to your body and goals, with time to choose the best technique and explain realistic results. For refined arm and leg shaping, ask about upper and lower limb liposculpting. Removed fat can also be used for body and extremity fat grafting.
Liposuction Techniques We Use
- Tumescent (super-wet): saline with lidocaine and adrenaline is injected first to reduce bruising and bleeding.
- Suction-assisted lipectomy: a thin cannula breaks up fat, which is gently suctioned away.
- Ultrasonic-assisted lipectomy: ultrasonic energy liquefies fat before suction, helpful in denser areas.
- Small, discreet incisions: cannula scars stay small and inconspicuous.
How Long Does Liposuction Take?
Surgery typically lasts one to five hours, depending on the amount of fat and areas treated. Local or general anesthesia is chosen based on the area and other factors. Procedures are performed at the accredited Reliant Surgical Center.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Good candidates are healthy, at or near a stable weight, with realistic expectations and fat pockets unresponsive to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. If you also have loose skin, a tummy tuck or arm lift may be combined for better results.
What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?
- Drainage tubes, compression garments, and antibiotics may be used
- Walking soon after surgery supports circulation
- Many patients return to work within a few days
- Avoid strenuous activity for about a month
Home post-op nursing is available through Nurse Concierge.
Is Liposuction Permanent?
Removed fat cells do not return, but remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain. A healthy diet, regular exercise and a stable weight help preserve your results.
When Will I See Liposuction Results?
Results are visible right away and improve over three months as swelling subsides. Results vary by patient. See our photo gallery.
