How much does traditional liposuction typically cost?
The cost of liposuction depends on the areas you want to treat, the technique we use, and whether you’re combining it with other procedures. We’ll provide a personalized quote during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Will I lose weight with liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. While we remove areas of stubborn fat to sculpt your body, you won’t see a major change on the scale. It works best when you’re already close to a weight you can maintain.
Can liposuction fix a lower belly pooch?
If the pooch is mostly fat, yes, lipo can flatten it. If it’s loose skin or muscle separation after pregnancy, lipo alone won’t fix it, and a tummy tuck is usually the better option.
Does awake liposuction hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how manageable it is. The tumescent fluid numbs the area and light oral sedation helps you relax, so you’ll mostly feel pressure. Soreness afterward tends to feel like the day after a tough workout.
Can I pair liposuction with other plastic surgery procedures?
Yes! Many patients choose to combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation to enhance their results. We’ll walk you through your options and recommend a plan that aligns with your goals. The fat we remove can also be used for fat transfer to the breasts, buttocks, or face, so one procedure slims one area and adds volume to another.
How long will my liposuction results last?
Results can last for years as long as you maintain a stable weight after your procedure. The fat that’s removed doesn’t come back, but remaining fat cells can still change in size, so healthy habits help preserve your new shape.
