No matter how consistent your workouts or clean your diet, certain pockets of fat can seem impossible to lose. At Advanced Aesthetics, we specialize in refining and reshaping your natural contours with liposuction, a minimally invasive body sculpting procedure that delivers long-lasting results.
Our experienced surgeons in Las Vegas, Henderson, Dallas, and San Diego use advanced 360-degree lipo techniques to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. Whether you want to define your midsection, refine your arms, or contour multiple areas, our team customizes each treatment to reveal your best body shape.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can contour the body by removing unwanted fat cells from one or more areas. Stubborn fat cells exist just below the skin’s surface, preventing visible muscle definition or causing patients to feel self-conscious about their appearance.
This procedure uses advanced technology to create new and improved body contours by gently yet effectively removing stubborn fat cells directly from the body; and once they’re gone, they cannot grow back.
What Are the Benefits?
Many people spend weeks, months, and even years trying to eat healthily and exercise to lose stubborn fat, to no avail. Stubborn fat cells are often resistant to diet and exercise, and despite one’s best efforts, they don’t and won’t shrink. Liposuction has many benefits aside from the fact that it removes these fat cells from the body. These benefits include the following:
- Treatment plans are customizable
- It can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results
- There is minimal downtime
- Results are intended to be permanent
- The procedure can contour the body and promote patient confidence
- It can significantly reduce and even eliminate the appearance of cellulite
What Does It Treat?
This procedure can eliminate unwanted fat from virtually anywhere on the body. Some of the most common treatment areas include the buttocks, legs, arms, abdomen, submental fullness beneath the chin, and chest. We design treatment plans for each patient’s needs and can use liposuction to treat one or several areas.
Treating Gynecomastia
At our Advanced Aesthetic locations, we also use this body contouring treatment for men suffering from gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a condition in which men have excess fat and tissue in the chest, covering the pectoral muscles and even creating the appearance of male breasts. While many factors contribute to this condition, diet and exercise often cannot help men lose that fatty tissue, which is why liposuction is such an effective treatment option for gynecomastia.
Patients suffering from gynecomastia can schedule an initial consultation at our office to learn more about this procedure and determine whether they are good candidates. Then we can customize a surgical treatment plan accordingly.
How Does It Work?
Our body contouring procedures utilize 360 lipo techniques to help patients achieve the best treatment results. 360 lipo targets multiple body areas to ensure the best treatment outcome. This treatment method ensures that patients look proportional and achieve the most comprehensive results after the procedure.
For example, instead of simply eliminating stubborn fat cells from the front of the abdominal region, we perform 360 lipo to address the entire circumference of the body, targeting the sides and lower back for comprehensive results.
The 360 Lipo Difference
360 lipo is a specialized approach that treats the body as a full, continuous canvas. Rather than targeting isolated pockets of fat, it focuses on creating symmetry and harmony across connected regions. At Advanced Aesthetics, our surgeons utilize this method to enhance the waist-to-hip ratio, define natural muscle contours, and accentuate a patient’s unique frame.
During treatment, small incisions are made in discreet locations, and a slender cannula is used to gently remove unwanted fat. The surgeon carefully adjusts angles and depth as they move around the torso, ensuring that the final result appears smooth, even, and naturally contoured from every perspective.
This technique is ideal for patients who want more than simple fat removal. It’s for those seeking visible extended, proportional results that enhance their overall shape.
What To Expect From the Treatment
During a typical procedure, we will mark the specific areas to be treated and review the surgical plan one final time to ensure precision and alignment with your goals. You will first receive the appropriate numbing solution to ensure your comfort. Then, we will use the right techniques to address your specific areas of concern. Treatment times vary based on the size and number of areas we treat during the procedure.
You’ll get more information about the length of your procedure at your initial consultation. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from your procedure, and then should plan on resting immediately following.
Is There Downtime?
After the procedure, you will need to plan around a minimal amount of downtime. Patients will be provided with a compression garment to promote healing and reduce fluid retention. Most patients can resume normal activities and return to work within a few days. However, you may need to avoid more strenuous activities, like exercise, for a week or longer.
When Will I Notice the Results?
You may notice some initial results within a few weeks of the procedure. As the body heals, swelling subsides, and fluid drains, you’ll notice improved body contours and the benefits of significantly reduced fat volume in your target treatment area. At your initial consultation, we’ll give you more details about what type of results you can expect from your unique procedure and when you can expect them.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of liposuction are intended to be permanent. When the device removes fat cells directly from the body, they will be permanently gone. Each patient is predisposed to a specific number of fat cells by adolescence. When any fat cells are removed, the body will not regrow fat cells to replace them.
However, any remaining fat cells can expand, which will occur with enough overeating. If those remaining fat cells do expand, it may negatively impact your results
Maintaining Your Results
There are ways that you can maintain permanent results after your procedure is over. Avoiding weight gain, committing to regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and adhering to a healthy lifestyle will ensure you can enjoy the results of this body contouring procedure long-term.
Enhancing Your Results
There are ways to enhance your liposuction results by pairing your procedure with Morpheus8 treatments. On its own, this body contouring procedure will not tighten loose skin; however, Morpheus8 uses 40 gold-coated microneedles and adjustable radiofrequency energy to naturally tighten the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
If you want to learn more about Morpheus8 and how it can enhance your treatment results, we can discuss more details at your initial consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is designed for individuals who want to refine their body contours, not replace traditional weight loss methods. The best candidates are men and women who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. These localized fat pockets can develop due to genetics, age, or hormonal factors, and they often persist even in otherwise healthy lifestyles.
Ideal candidates for liposuction at Advanced Aesthetics include:
- Adults in good health with a stable body weight and realistic expectations
- Patients with firm, elastic skin, which helps the body conform smoothly to its new contours
- Non-smokers, since smoking can interfere with healing and recovery
- Individuals with localized fat areas on the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, or under the chin
- Men with gynecomastia or chest fullness who want a more sculpted, masculine shape
Liposuction may be right for you if you’ve tried to achieve your ideal figure through fitness and nutrition but can’t seem to target specific areas. During your consultation, we will assess your goals, medical history, and body composition to determine if liposuction is the safest and most effective option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much fat can be removed with liposuction?
The amount of fat removed during liposuction depends on your body type, treatment areas, and overall health. Most patients can safely have up to five liters removed in a single session. During your consultation, we will determine the optimal amount to achieve your desired results while maintaining a natural balance of your body.
Will I have scars after liposuction?
Liposuction requires only small incisions, which are carefully placed in natural creases or discreet areas of the body. These incisions typically heal well and fade over time, becoming barely noticeable. Proper post-care and skincare can help minimize their appearance even further.
How soon can I work out again after liposuction?
Most patients can resume light activity, such as walking, within a few days to promote circulation and healing. Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting is generally postponed for about three to four weeks, depending on your progress. We will give you detailed aftercare instructions and help guide your return to full activity safely..
Can the fat come back after liposuction?
Once fat cells are removed, they cannot grow back. However, significant weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells to expand, which may affect your results. Maintaining a stable weight with healthy habits ensures your new contours remain long-lasting.
