Liposuction is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with your surgeon and follow preoperative and postoperative instructions carefully to minimize risks and ensure a safe and successful outcome.

Serious complications are atypical; however, like any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. While rare, seromas (a collection of fluid under the skin) can develop. Wearing a compression garment can help reduce your chances of developing a seroma.

Liposuction only requires minimal incisions, often placed in easily concealed areas to insert the cannula. Most patients will experience zero to mild scarring, and the healing process varies from patient to patient. If you do develop scarring, it will likely fade over time.

Most patients only experience some minor discomfort following their procedure. Pain medication may be used to control any discomfort that may occur.

While liposuction can provide noticeable improvements in body contours, it is not a weight-loss solution or a substitute for diet and exercise.

Yes, it is possible to gain weight after liposuction if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle. While liposuction removes fat cells from specific areas, the remaining fat cells in the body can still enlarge if you consume excess calories and do not exercise regularly. It’s important to follow a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and adopt healthy lifestyle habits to maintain your liposuction results and prevent further weight gain.

Liposuction can be combined with other procedures to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. Common procedures often performed with liposuction include tummy tucks, breast augmentations or reductions, neck lifts, and body lifts. Combining procedures allows patients to address multiple aesthetic concerns in a single surgery, minimizing overall recovery time and maximizing results. However, the decision to combine procedures should be made in consultation with your surgeon, who will consider your individual goals, medical history, and overall health.

While both liposuction and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedures enhance body contours, they address different concerns.

Liposuction primarily focuses on removing excess fat deposits from many body regions, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms. It is ideal for patients with localized fat deposits and good skin elasticity.

In contrast, tummy tuck surgery is a more extensive procedure focused on improving the abdominal area and can address excess fat, loose skin, and stretched or torn abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck may be recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy and have excess skin and weakened abdominal muscles.

Depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s preference, liposuction can be performed using a local anesthetic, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia.

Liposuction is commonly combined with other contouring procedures designed to tighten the skin and muscle if necessary. Commonly combined procedures include tummy tuck, thigh lift, butt lift, breast reduction, neck lift, and arm lift. If you have concerns about skin laxity, you and Dr. Bonaldi can discuss combining your liposuction surgery with another body contouring procedure.

The fat suctioned out using liposuction is permanently removed from your body. However, liposuction doesn’t prevent new fat from forming. With a healthy lifestyle, most patients achieve results that last them many years.
