What Is Liposuction?
Also known as lipoplasty or simply “lipo,” liposuction is a popular cosmetic fat removal surgery. This body contouring procedure permanently removes fat cells from a specific section of your body. Liposuction techniques can be applied almost anywhere on the body, including the abdomen, hips, love handles (flanks), back, chin, neck, buttocks, thighs, inner knee, and upper arms.
Benefits of liposuction include:
- Removal of stubborn fat
- Smoother, slimmer body shape
- More proportional body shape
- Increased wardrobe options
- Minimal scarring
- Renewed confidence
Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?
Ideal candidates for liposuction are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations for surgery. Preferably, candidates will be close to their ideal weight and have good skin elasticity. At your consultation, Dr. Nouri can help you determine if liposuction is the right procedure for you.

What Are My Options for Liposuction?
Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis. Dr. Nouri will make small incisions in the specified area and use a thin tube (or cannula) to break up and suction out fat. Dr. Nouri utilizes a variety of liposuction techniques, depending on your goals and unique anatomy. You and Dr. Nouri will discuss which method will best suit you at your consultation.
Tumescent Liposuction
This common liposuction technique involves injecting a saline solution mixed with medications like epinephrine and lidocaine into the target area. The solution helps to minimize bleeding and dislodge fat from its matrix, facilitating a smoother procedure and a faster recovery.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
UAL uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat before it is removed. Often combined with a tumescent solution, this method offers precise and effective fat removal by transforming fat into a more manageable liquid form.
VASERlipo®
VASER® liposuction, or Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, is a specialized form of ultrasonic-assisted liposuction. It utilizes ultrasound waves and a cannula to break down and extract fat, providing a detailed and controlled approach to body contouring.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
For areas where fat is particularly dense or fibrous, PAL uses a vibrating cannula to gently dislodge and remove the fat. This technique effectively breaks up hard fat deposits, making the removal process smoother and more efficient.
What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?
Recovery time varies from person to person and depends on the area(s) of the body where fat was removed. Generally, full recovery can take up to six months. During the first six weeks, you will need to relax and avoid strenuous activities. Wearing compression garments during this time is crucial to support your new body contours while they heal.
Patients can usually return to work within a few days after surgery. Dr. Nouri will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions. This will include information on how to care for your incisions to promote favorable scar healing. For optimal healing, maintain follow-up appointments, adhere to your post-operative instructions, and wait until Dr. Nouri clears you to resume exercise.
What Results Can I Expect From Liposuction?
Swelling may obscure your initial results, but your slimmer physique will become more apparent over time as you progress through recovery. Swelling can take three to six months to resolve fully.
Liposuction results are generally permanent because, once removed, fat cells do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can still grow, so it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enjoy your results for the long term.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
The cost of liposuction can vary based on several factors, including the treatment area, anesthesia and facility fees, post-operative garments, and more. Dr. Nouri will provide exact pricing details during your consultation.
