Our expert liposuction treatments offer a transformative solution, effectively removing unwanted fat, contouring your body, and enhancing your natural curves. Our advanced techniques and commitment to personalized care help you achieve a toned and sculpted physique that boosts your confidence and complements your lifestyle.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Unlike traditional weight loss methods, liposuction targets and eliminates localized fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, allowing for a more contoured and proportionate appearance. The procedure involves the use of a thin tube called a cannula, which is inserted through small incisions in the skin. The cannula is connected to a vacuum device that removes unwanted fat, reshaping and enhancing the body’s natural curves.

At SF Bay Area Plastic Surgery, we utilize the latest liposuction technologies, including tumescent liposuction and VASER liposuction to ensure precise and effective fat removal with minimal discomfort and downtime. Our skilled surgeons tailor each liposuction treatment to your unique body type and aesthetic goals, providing natural-looking results that enhance your overall physique.

Liposuction Recovery & Results

Liposuction is designed to provide immediate and long-lasting benefits with minimal downtime. It is ideal for those seeking effective body contouring without significantly interrupting their daily lives.

Recovery is relatively swift and manageable; most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas, which typically subsides within a few days to a week. You can expect to resume your normal activities within a few days. However, avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for a few weeks is recommended to allow your body to heal properly. Wearing compression garments, as advised, helps reduce swelling and supports your new body contours during the healing process. Results from liposuction are both immediate and progressive.

You’ll notice an immediate improvement in your body shape as the fat is removed, with further contouring and firmness developing over the following weeks as swelling decreases and your body adjusts to new proportions. The enhanced body contours will become more defined over time, providing a sculpted and toned appearance that boosts your confidence and complements your natural physique.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is important to maintain your desired physique. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas, maintaining your results requires an ongoing commitment to a healthy lifestyle. In some cases, supplementary treatments or maintenance liposuction sessions may be recommended to sustain your desired appearance.

Will liposuction make my skin look loose or saggy?

Modern liposuction techniques, such as tumescent liposuction or VASER, are designed to tighten the skin as fat is removed. This results in a more contoured and firm appearance without loose or saggy skin. In addition, we typically combine liposuction with BodyTite, FaceTite, or Renuvion J Plasma to ensure the best outcome.

How long does a liposuction session take?

The duration of a liposuction session varies depending on the number of areas being treated and the extent of fat removal. Generally, a single session can last one to several hours.

Can liposuction be combined with other treatments?

Yes, liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks, facelifts, or body lifts to enhance overall body contouring results and achieve a more comprehensive transformation.

How much does liposuction cost?

Liposuction costs vary based on the specific treatment areas, the extent of fat removal, and the chosen liposuction technique. We offer personalized consultations to provide a detailed estimate tailored to your body contouring needs.

How should I prepare for my liposuction consultation?
