Liposuction
Liposuction, the art of precision fat removal, offers you the chance to shape your body contours, saying goodbye to stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise can’t always tackle.
Liposuction | Overview
At My Cosmetic Surgery, we recognize that stubborn pockets of fat can be a source of frustration and dissatisfaction, often resistant to diet and exercise. Our liposuction procedures are designed to help you achieve the body contours you’ve been working hard for, addressing these areas of concern and enhancing your overall physique.
Traditional liposuction is a proven method for removing excess fat deposits from various parts of the body. Our experienced plastic surgeons use precise techniques to suction out unwanted fat cells, sculpting a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Whether it’s the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, or other areas, our team tailors the treatment to your individual goals and anatomy.
For those seeking a more advanced approach, we offer VASER liposuction. This innovative technique uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before removal, resulting in smoother contours and potentially less downtime compared to traditional liposuction. VASER can be particularly effective for areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.
If you’re looking to enhance your abdominal definition, we also offer six-pack or abdominal etching. This technique involves carefully sculpting the fat around your abdominal muscles to create the appearance of a defined six-pack. It’s an ideal option for those who are close to their desired physique but need a little extra help achieving that sculpted look.
Additionally, we provide laser-assisted liposuction and J-Plasma procedures. Laser liposuction uses laser energy to melt fat cells before suction, allowing for more precise fat removal and potentially promoting skin tightening. J-Plasma combines cold helium plasma with radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin while removing fat, providing comprehensive body contouring results.
Throughout your journey with us, you’ll receive personalized care and support from our experienced team of plastic surgeons. From your initial consultation to your post-operative follow-ups, we prioritize your safety and comfort. Our goal is to help you achieve the body you desire, whether that means traditional liposuction, advanced techniques, or a combination of approaches tailored to your needs.
If you’re considering liposuction to enhance your body contours, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us. Our skilled surgeons will discuss your goals, evaluate your anatomy, and recommend the most suitable approach to help you achieve the results you’ve been envisioning. Let us help you on your path to a more confident and sculpted you.

Keep in mind, different procedures have different recovery timelines. Your surgeon’s expertise will guide you towards successful healing and achieving the results you desire.
Checklist
- Adhere strictly to the instructions provided by your surgeon, including any prescribed medications and post-operative care guidelines.
- Wearing compression garments as recommended by your surgeon helps minimize swelling, promote healing, and maintain your new contours.
- Allow your body time to heal by avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense workouts for a few weeks after the procedure.
- Drinking plenty of water aids in reducing swelling and supports the body's natural healing process.
- Consume a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support healing and help your body recover efficiently.
- Refrain from alcohol and tobacco products as they can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
FAQs
Will the fat cells come back after liposuction?
Fat cells removed during liposuction won’t return, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent new fat accumulation.
How long until I see final results?
While some results are noticeable immediately, it takes a few months for swelling to fully subside and for the final contours to be revealed.
Is liposuction a weight loss solution?
Liposuction is not meant for significant weight loss. It’s best suited for removing localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Can I undergo liposuction if I have loose or sagging skin?
Liposuction is most effective when the skin has good elasticity. In cases of significant skin laxity, additional procedures like a tummy tuck might be recommended to achieve the desired results. Your surgeon will assess your skin quality during the consultation.
Can liposuction treat cellulite?
Liposuction can improve the appearance of mild cellulite, but it’s not a primary treatment for severe cellulite. Other procedures might be more effective for that purpose.
