Why You Might Consider Liposuction

Liposuction removes areas of fat that are resistant to slimming with diet and exercise. You might benefit from liposuction if you have stubborn fat deposits in common areas like the buttocks, hips, and abdomen.

Liposuction can also reduce fat on men’s chests (gynecomastia treatment), and it is an excellent addition to other procedures, including tummy tuck and breast reduction. Dr. Spiro can also process and purify the excess fat removed with liposuction and inject it into another part of your body, such as the breasts, buttocks (“Brazilian Butt Lift”/”BBL”), or the face in a fat grafting procedure.

Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a shortcut to weight loss. While he can remove a moderate amount of fat with liposuction, the goal is to improve the body’s lines and curves, not to reduce overall weight.

Liposuction Candidates

Ideal liposuction candidates are people with areas of localized fat that remain intact in spite of healthy eating habits and regular exercise. The best-qualified patients are in overall good health and have realistic expectations for their results. If you smoke, vape, and/or use medication to treat ADHD, you must be willing to stop for several weeks before and after your surgery.

Skin elasticity and resilience are factors, too. Liposuction is most effective when used on areas of the body where the skin will tighten and smooth naturally after fat removal.

Liposuction is not for patients looking for a quick way to lose weight.

What to Expect During a Liposuction Consultation

During your liposuction consultation, Dr. Spiro will talk with you about your current medications, drug allergies, previous surgeries, medical conditions, and goals. He and the team will also evaluate your general health, discuss potential risks and complications, answer all your questions, and recommend other procedures to combine with your liposuction surgery, depending on your desired outcomes.

How to Prepare for Liposuction

Preparing for liposuction may require you to get an additional medical evaluation, quit smoking, temporarily stop taking certain medications, and avoid aspirin or herbal supplements that may cause an increase in bleeding. You will also need to make arrangements for someone to take you to and from the surgical center, as you can’t drive yourself home after liposuction surgery.

The Liposuction Procedure

Dr. Spiro performs liposuction procedures under general anesthesia at an outpatient surgical center. Based on your body type and aesthetic goals, he will make several small incisions in the treatment areas and inject a tumescent solution to minimize blood loss and reduce post-surgical bruising and pain.

Liposuction uses a small tube with a vacuum syringe to draw out the localized fat deposits. Dr. Spiro inserts the tube into the incisions to loosen excess fat in a back-and-forth motion, suctioning out the unwanted fat from your body. Liposuction procedures require fewer and smaller incisions than other plastic surgery procedures and create natural-looking results with only minimal scarring.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in NJ with years of experience performing liposuction surgery, Dr. Spiro challenges the notion of two-dimensional liposuction and elevate it with a three-dimensional concept of aesthetic body contouring. Three-dimensional contouring (circumferential lipoplasty) involves removing fat from the entire torso, arms, and thighs with the additional benefit of facilitating “shrink wrapping” of tissues.

Dr. Spiro’s approach leads to more dramatic and positive shape changes in the different areas of the body that liposuction can treat, such as the chest, abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, upper arms, back, and calves. He will often combine liposuction with other reshaping procedures, such as a tummy tuck, buttock fat grafting, or breast reduction and lift, to maximize your body contouring results.

Liposuction Recovery & Results

Liposuction recovery time depends on the procedure performed and how quickly your body heals. However, most of our patients can return to work within a few days and resume typical activities within 2 to 4 weeks. After the surgery, you may experience bruising, swelling, and soreness. To achieve the best outcomes, you will have to wear compression garments to reduce your swelling and help shape your new body contours.

Final liposuction results may take several months to fully as it takes time for residual swelling to subside. Once the swelling is gone, the treated areas will have a more slender appearance. Depending on your ideal outcomes and targeted areas, you may see improved body proportions, fewer fat bulges, and more defined natural body curves. The results are long-lasting if you maintain your weight with a healthy diet and exercise.
