What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods. Unlike diet and exercise, liposuction targets and eliminates fat cells directly, providing more immediate and noticeable results. Common areas treated with liposuction include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, and chin. At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute (NPSI), Dr. Jacob Unger utilizes state-of-the-art liposuction technologies such as BodyTite, power-assisted liposuction, hi-definition lipo, Lipo 360, three-stage liposuction, and fine cannula liposuction to ensure precise fat removal and optimal contouring. Whether you’re looking to refine your waistline, sculpt your thighs, or achieve a more defined upper body, liposuction provides a tailored solution to help you attain your desired physique.

By utilizing these state-of-the-art liposuction methods, we ensure precise fat removal and optimal body contouring tailored to meet your specific needs and aesthetic aspirations. Our advanced techniques include the following:

  • BodyTite: Utilizes radio frequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to simultaneously remove fat and tighten the skin, resulting in smoother and more toned contours with reduced downtime.

  • Hi-Definition Lipo: This procedure focuses on sculpting and enhancing muscle definition, providing a more athletic and chiseled appearance by precisely targeting fat around the muscles.
  • Lipo 360: A comprehensive technique that removes fat from the entire midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, for a balanced and harmonious waistline.
  • Three-Stage Liposuction: This procedure involves a sequential approach to fat removal, targeting multiple areas in three distinct stages to achieve optimal body contouring and symmetry.

Liposuction Recovery & Results

After your liposuction procedure, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These are typical responses as your body begins to heal. Our team will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort effectively. Wearing a compression garment is essential during this initial phase; it helps reduce swelling and supports your newly contoured body, promoting better results.

Rest is crucial in the days immediately following your surgery. We recommend limiting physical activities to allow your body to heal properly. Avoid strenuous exercises, heavy lifting, and any movements that might strain the treated areas or impact the surgical sites. While light daily activities can usually be resumed within a week, those with physically demanding jobs may need to take additional time off to recover fully.

As weeks pass, you’ll notice a gradual decrease in swelling and bruising. Your body will start to adapt to its new shape, and improvements in the appearance and comfort of the treated areas will become more evident. With proper care and adherence to post-operative instructions, any incision lines will fade over time, becoming less noticeable.

Complete recovery from liposuction typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and your body’s natural healing process. Embracing a healthy lifestyle during this period is vital. A balanced diet and gentle, regular exercise can help maintain your liposuction results for the long term. Additionally, following Dr. Unger’s skincare recommendations and continuing to wear supportive garments as advised will enhance your skin’s elasticity and the overall outcome of your surgery.

Liposuction is designed to provide lasting results, giving you a more toned and contoured physique that complements your natural body shape. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your healing progress and ensure everything is proceeding as expected. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns you may have during your recovery.
