Techniques named for liposuction: SmartLipo, Awake lipo, Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction (UAL).
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure; it is for people who are otherwise of a normal, healthy weight and have trouble areas that need to be addressed.
SmartLipo - a laser-assisted liposuction technique that warms fat for more efficient removal while also cauterizing blood vessels to reduce swelling and bruising during recovery
Liposuction can be combined with a lift or tuck procedure to create optimal results if your skin is stretched or sagging.
Often, liposuction is performed in conjunction with an abdominoplasty to create a more streamlined and cohesive appearance. A tummy tuck may also reduce the appearance of stretch marks in some patients.
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia or IV sedation may be the best option for some patients; this will need to be discussed with Dr. Brothers during your consultation.
Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the: thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen
Patients with firm, elastic skin tend to achieve the best results while older patients with decreased skin elasticity may not achieve desirable results with liposuction alone
Awake lipo offers a more comfortable recovery and quicker return to daily life
The procedure can be performed under general anesthetic, but an increasing number of our Atlanta liposuction patients are choosing to have a combination of anesthetic and sedation instead since this enables them to come around from the surgery more quickly.
Facial liposculpture, also known as facial liposuction, involves the careful removal of fat from beneath the skin to improve contour and proportion. Using tiny, precisely placed incisions (typically under the chin or near the ear), unwanted fat is removed using micro-cannulas.
Absolutely. Many patients combine liposculpture with a mini facelift, neck lift, or facial fat transfer for a more comprehensive result.
Surgical procedures such as a tummy tuck and liposuction
Dr. Larsen targets treatment areas with liposuction, known clinically as suction-assisted lipectomy, using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula to remove the excess fat from beneath the skin.
Surgical removal of localized fat deposits through small incisions, the definitive option for pockets that resist diet and exercise.
One procedure per area, fat cells removed do not return
3 to 7 days off work, compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks, full results at 3 to 6 months
People near a stable, healthy weight with firm skin elasticity and specific fat pockets that persist despite diet and exercise
Typical Liposuction pricing in Buckhead runs $3,500–$11,000 per treatment area. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Buckhead clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Buckhead providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Liposuction series.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
Pricing works per treatment area, and most patients treat more than one. A single small area such as the chin or upper arms typically runs $3,500 to $6,000. Larger areas like the abdomen or flanks run $5,000 to $11,000. Treating several areas together costs less per area than doing them separately because anesthesia and facility time are shared. Always confirm whether a quote includes anesthesia, the facility, compression garments, and follow-up visits, because exclusions are where quotes diverge.
No, and this is the single most important misunderstanding about it. Surgeons typically remove a limited volume of fat for safety reasons, which is a few pounds rather than a dress size of body weight. Liposuction reshapes contour in people already near their target weight. If your goal is significant weight loss, medical weight management or bariatric surgery is the appropriate path, and liposuction afterward can address what remains.
The fat cells removed are gone permanently and do not regenerate. However, the fat cells remaining elsewhere in your body can still enlarge if you gain weight, which means the shape you gain into may be different from before. Patients who maintain a stable weight keep their result essentially indefinitely.
CoolSculpting freezes fat cells non-invasively and eliminates roughly 20 to 25 percent of the fat in a treated area per session, with no downtime, over two to three months. Liposuction physically removes a far greater proportion in one operation, with anesthesia, incisions, and real recovery. If your pocket is small and you want to avoid surgery, CoolSculpting is reasonable. If you want a decisive change to contour, liposuction is what actually delivers it.
This is the question that determines whether liposuction alone is right for you. Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin. In patients with good elasticity the skin retracts well. In patients with significant laxity, particularly after major weight loss or pregnancy, removing the underlying fat can leave the skin looser than before. Those patients often need a skin-removal procedure such as a tummy tuck instead of, or alongside, liposuction. An honest surgeon will tell you this at consultation.
