Traditional liposuction surgery, also known as lipoplasty or body contouring, is a specialized surgical procedure focused on precisely removing unwanted, localized fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is distinctly different from a weight-loss solution; rather, it is designed for individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but struggle with persistent bulges that obscure their natural contours.
During the procedure, small, thin tubes called cannulas are inserted through tiny incisions, and controlled suction is used to aspirate the fat cells. The overall purpose of liposuction is to sculpt and reshape the body, creating a smoother, more proportionate silhouette by eliminating those stubborn fatty areas that resist diet and exercise alone.
Liposuction stands as one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures, offering an effective solution for targeted fat deposits. It's crucial to understand that liposuction isn't a weight loss method; instead, it focuses on refining specific areas of the body. Tumescent liposuction, a unique technique, involves initially saturating the fatty tissues with a diluted anesthetic solution before gently removing the softened, liquefied fat. This approach minimizes bleeding, bruising, and postoperative discomfort, with incisions so small that sutures are seldom needed.
Our surgeons at Face N Body utilize advanced liposuction techniques to achieve refined and natural-looking results, enhancing your body's inherent lines.
Your liposuction procedure at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is carefully planned and performed with expert precision by Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah. On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed to our AAAHC-accredited on-site surgery center in Upland, CA, where your comfort and safety are assured by our attentive staff and board-certified anesthesiologist with over 30 years of experience.
The process typically begins with the surgeon marking the specific areas on your body to be treated. A specialized solution (a sterile saline solution mixed with lidocaine for local anesthesia and epinephrine to minimize bleeding) is then injected into these areas. This solution numbs the site, makes fat removal easier, and reduces bruising. Next, tiny incisions, usually just a few millimeters long, are made in discreet locations. Through these incisions, a slender cannula is inserted beneath the skin.
Using a controlled, back-and-forth motion, the cannula gently dislodges the fat cells, which are then suctioned away using a vacuum pump or syringe. The procedure duration varies based on the number and size of the areas being treated, but our focus is always on achieving smooth, harmonious contours and prioritizing your well-being throughout. After the procedure, you'll be moved to a comfortable recovery area before being ready to go home.
Liposuction specifically targets and effectively removes localized accumulations of fat that are often resistant to traditional methods of weight loss, sculpting areas that create disproportion or bulges on the body. It effectively addresses:
By precisely removing these localized fat pockets, liposuction refines your silhouette and enhances your natural body lines.
Liposuction offers precise contouring for numerous areas, most commonly including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms, back, and neck.
Opting for liposuction at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery offers distinct benefits that contribute to a more harmonious physique and heightened self-assurance.
Liposuction excels at targeted fat reduction, allowing our surgeons to meticulously sculpt specific areas of your body that resist conventional weight loss efforts. This precision ensures that fat is removed exactly where needed, creating smoother transitions and more defined contours in targeted areas that perfectly align with your aesthetic goals. For patients with stubborn fat in the abdomen, liposuction can be used to etch exquisitely sculpted abdominal muscles.
One of the most compelling advantages of liposuction is that the fat cells removed during the procedure are permanently gone. Unlike dieting, which shrinks existing fat cells, liposuction physically removes them. While it's still essential to maintain a stable weight, the treated areas will retain fewer fat cells, leading to enduring results that consistently reflect your newly contoured shape.
Many individuals find that stubborn fat pockets make it challenging to find clothing that fits well and feels comfortable. By removing these localized bulges, liposuction can dramatically improve how your clothes drape, allowing you to wear a wider range of styles with increased confidence and ease. It's a practical benefit that impacts your daily comfort.
Liposuction is a powerful tool for enhancing overall body proportion. If certain areas feel disproportionately large compared to the rest of your physique, liposuction can bring them into better balance. This creates a more harmonious figure, making your body appear more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing from all angles.
The benefits of a liposuction procedure extend far beyond just physical enhancements. It's a transformation that can restore not only your appearance but also your confidence and self-esteem. Our plastic surgeons at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery are trusted experts in this procedure, committed to delivering outstanding results tailored to your unique needs.
Ideal candidates for liposuction are typically individuals who are within 30% of their ideal body weight, possess good skin elasticity, and have localized pockets of fat that are disproportionate to other areas of their body and resistant to diet and exercise. You should be in good general health, a non-smoker, and hold realistic expectations about the outcomes, understanding that liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution for obesity. During your personalized consultation in Upland, CA, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will carefully assess your body contours, skin quality, and medical history to determine if liposuction is the most appropriate path to achieve your desired sculpted physique.
Recovery typically spans several days to a week, and complications are rare. While results can be remarkable, it's essential to manage expectations, as individual outcomes may vary.
In cases of loose skin, liposuction can be combined with a mini tummy tuck, a skin excision procedure to remove the excess skin. This approach may yield the desired aesthetic improvements, enhancing both your physique and self-confidence. Consult with Dr. Park to help you determine the most suitable approach for achieving your unique goals.
The recovery process after liposuction is manageable, and our compassionate team at Face N Body will provide clear, detailed instructions to support your healing and ensure optimal results.
You will be fitted with a specialized compression garment immediately after surgery. Wearing this garment consistently for several weeks is crucial to help reduce swelling, minimize bruising, and aid in skin retraction over your newly contoured shape.
Expect swelling and bruising in the treated areas. These effects will be most noticeable in the first few days to weeks and will gradually subside over several weeks to a few months.
Any discomfort is typically mild to moderate and can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication.
Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation. However, strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense exercise should be avoided for at least 2-4 weeks, or as advised by your surgeon.
Our team will provide specific instructions for caring for the small incision sites, which are usually discreetly placed and heal to be nearly imperceptible.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light work within a few days to a week, with full results gradually emerging as swelling resolves.
You will notice an immediate change in your body contours after liposuction, as the unwanted fat has been physically removed. However, initial swelling will temporarily obscure the full extent of your transformation. As the swelling begins to subside over the first few weeks, the improved contours will become increasingly apparent. While significant results are visible within 4-6 weeks, the final, beautifully refined silhouette, with all residual swelling resolved and skin fully settled, typically takes about 3 to 6 months to fully emerge.
The results of liposuction are considered remarkably long-lasting. The fat cells that are removed during the procedure are permanently eliminated from the treated areas. This means that these specific areas will retain fewer fat cells compared to untreated areas. As long as you maintain a relatively stable weight through healthy lifestyle choices, the sculpted contours achieved with liposuction are permanent. Should you gain weight in the future, the remaining fat cells in both treated and untreated areas can enlarge, but the treated areas will typically retain a more contoured shape than they would have without the procedure. It's an investment in a permanently refined physique.

No, liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a treatment for general obesity or a substitute for weight loss. It is designed to remove localized, stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise.
The amount of fat that can be safely removed varies by individual and the treated area, but there are limits to how much can be extracted in a single session to ensure patient safety and optimal results.
Liposuction is primarily designed for fat removal and body contouring, not cellulite reduction. While some improvement in skin dimpling may occur if fat is removed from beneath cellulite, it is not a direct treatment for cellulite itself.
Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a large volume of saline solution mixed with lidocaine (for local anesthesia) and epinephrine (to constrict blood vessels) into the fatty tissue. This makes fat removal easier, reduces bleeding, and improves patient comfort.
Yes, the fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. As long as you maintain a stable weight, the treated areas will retain their improved contour, as the specific fat cells targeted for removal will not regrow.
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, soreness, and temporary numbness in the treated areas. These are normal and generally subside during the recovery period. Our team provides guidance for managing these effects.
Neck liposuction is a specialized form of liposuction specifically targeting and removing excess fat from under the chin and along the jawline. This procedure can significantly improve the definition of the jawline and create a more sculpted transition between the face and neck.
