Liposuction

Sometimes diet and exercise aren’t enough to get rid of unwanted fat in problem areas. Although it is not a weight loss procedure, liposuction is ideal for reshaping the body by efficiently removing stubborn areas of fat. You can achieve a more sculpted and contoured figure with precise and skilled liposuction.

Liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia. A tiny incision is made in the treatment area to allow a thin, hollow tube, called a cannula, to suction out the fat.

Liposuction can help:

  • Contour the abdomen

  • Redefine the jowls, chin and neck area and cheeks

  • Treat enlarged male breasts

  • Reduce “love handles”

  • Remove excess fat on the hips, thighs, and buttocks

For enhanced results, liposuction is commonly paired with other procedures, including non-invasive skin tightening, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, or tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

  • After utilizing local or general anesthesia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Bridge will make small incisions around the desired treatment area. He will then use state-of-the-art liposuction technology to remove the fat for beautiful results. Liposuction is usually an outpatient procedure, so you can return home the same day.

  • We recommend that liposuction patients take at least three to five days before returning to their normal daily routine. Liposuction patients will wear a compression garment for up to four weeks after treatment. We also recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for a minimum of six weeks following treatment. The recovery period will be discussed in more detail during your consultation, and may vary from person to person.

  • Results from liposuction treatments are long lasting, and upholding a healthy diet and exercise routine can help maintain results. Weight gain following the procedure will cause fat to be stored elsewhere on the body.
