Liposuction in Lake County, FL

Liposuction’s core benefit is removing unwanted fat from the hips, thighs, arms, abdomen, back, waist, chin, chest, or other body areas. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not regenerate, though other fat cells in the area can still shrink or grow with diet and exercise.

Liposuction remains one of the safest and most popular plastic surgery procedures worldwide. More than 1.5 million people undergo liposuction each year, and it has a “Worth It” rating of 88 percent on RealSelf. Our VIP plastic surgery patients rave about their liposuction results. See their before and after photos to understand why.

All procedures performed by the surgeons at Village Institute of Plastic Surgery are performed at our on-site, state-licensed, AAAASF-certified Ambulatory Surgical Facility. Our plastic surgeons, supported by our staff of licensed nurses and surgical technicians, guarantee that you’ll receive the highest standards in patient care and safety.

Overall, this procedure is a safe method of removing unwanted stubborn fat that allows our surgeons to sculpt and contour areas of the face, neck, and body to a smoother, more natural toned appearance. No two liposuction procedures are the same. Your surgeon will work with you to draw up your surgery plan to maximize the benefits of your procedure. This could mean targeting several spots during the same surgery or combining liposuction with another procedure, such as an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). The procedure may be done awake with local anesthetic or under general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs and goals. Very small incisions are used, even if a large area is being treated. Pockets of fat are broken up and suctioned away, leaving behind an enhanced contour. A compressive garment or wrap is placed to help ensure a smooth contour and to minimize swelling. In most cases, you are free to have someone drive you home the same day. You will want to arrange transportation as you will still be groggy from anesthesia following surgery.

As swelling goes away after surgery, your skin will tighten, and your new look will take shape. You’ll notice more defined curves and muscles in the treatment area and a svelte, smooth silhouette. While your weight will still change over time, the fat cells removed during liposuction are gone for good, so provided that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise, your liposuction will be a long-lasting and positive experience.
