What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction sculpts the body by permanently removing undesirable fat deposits from targeted areas — including the abdomen, waist, flanks, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck. By permanently removing fat cells from these areas, liposuction ensures they will not re-accumulate significant fat deposits in the future — making results long-lasting provided weight remains stable. Liposuction is most frequently combined with abdominoplasty for comprehensive trunk contouring, or performed as a standalone procedure for isolated fat deposits.
What Liposuction Techniques Does Dr. Wisser Offer?
Suction-Assisted Lipectomy (SAL)
SAL uses a thin hollow cannula inserted through a small, inconspicuous incision — moved back and forth through the fat layer to dislodge and suction out fat cells with precision. SAL is the most established liposuction technique, delivering controlled, predictable results across all body areas. It is the technique of choice for most liposuction procedures at Princeton Rejuvenation Institute.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Lipectomy (UAL)
UAL uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat cells before suctioning — making it particularly effective for fibrous areas (such as the male chest or back), dense fat deposits, and areas requiring very precise contouring. The best technique for your anatomy and goals is determined at your pre-operative consultation. For specialized limb-focused sculpting, see our upper and lower limb liposculpting page.
What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
- Abdomen, waist, flanks ("love handles")
- Hips and outer thighs ("saddlebags")
- Inner thighs and knees
- Upper arms
- Back, bra line area
- Chin, neck, jowls
- Chest (gynecomastia in men)
Can Fat Removed by Liposuction Be Reused?
Yes — fat harvested during liposuction can be processed and reinjected into areas where you want more volume, such as the breasts, buttocks, face, or hands. This approach simultaneously slims the donor area and enhances the recipient area using entirely natural tissue. See our body fat grafting page and facial fat grafting page for complete details.
What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?
After liposuction, drainage tubes and compression garments may be used to minimize swelling and support skin retraction. Most patients return to light desk work within a few days. Strenuous physical activity is avoided for approximately one month. Final results are visible as post-operative swelling fully resolves over three to six months. Results are permanent in treated areas provided weight remains stable.
