Liposuction

Liposuction in Sarasota

Stubborn fat is a common problem. As we age, an excess of fat cells often develop in areas like the hips, waist, thighs and abdomen. These localized fat deposits can be challenging to shape and tone, even with diet and exercise. Stubborn fat can occur even when patients are at a healthy weight. 

People who struggle with isolated areas of hard-to-lose fat may benefit from liposuction. This treatment allows us to target fat removal and enhance your silhouette. Liposuction surgery is a sought-after treatment among men and women throughout Sarasota, FL.

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure to shape the body by removing excess fat from targeted areas through a small tube attached to a suction device. Liposuction can enhance your body’s silhouette and is a lasting, targeted solution for problem areas and trouble spots. 

Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends removing no more than 10 pounds of fat during liposuction. Removing more than this quantity increases the likelihood of complications. We suggest patients be at or near their target weight before scheduling liposuction. 

Liposuction does not tighten skin, so the best candidates have taut, elastic skin. Patients with skin laxity or sagging may benefit from surgical skin tightening and removal through a procedure like a tummy tuck or butt lift

The Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction takes place at our world-class surgical facility, located on the top floor of Sarasota Plastic Surgery. We designed our surgical center ourselves and outfitted it with the latest safety equipment. Our patients enjoy our comfortable surgical facility and careful monitoring throughout the surgical experience. 

Liposuction occurs while you are under general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 30 minutes for each area treated.

Recovery After Liposuction

After liposuction, you’ll need to wear compression garments to hold healing tissues in place as your body adjusts to its new contours. In some cases, GalaFLEX mesh may be used to provide additional support to treated areas, promoting proper healing and stability. The mesh offers strength during the early stages of recovery. Newly formed tissue integrates into the mesh, delivering stability and strength up to four times greater than native tissue. Bruising and swelling typically subside after a week, but full results take several months to appear. Throughout your recovery, our surgeons will monitor your progress, and our team is available to address any questions or concerns that arise.
