Quick Facts

Quick Info

  • Liposuction is a procedure performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the surgery varies with the number of areas, but is usually 1-2 hours long.
  • Liposuction is done through tiny incisions using long tubes called “cannulas” to remove fat under the skin.
  • Cellulite is not treated with liposuction, although other treatments are available.
  • Recovery takes only a few days, but you may be bruised for a couple of weeks. Swelling takes a few months to a year to completely resolve.
  • After the procedure you will sometimes wear a special garment for 4-6 weeks.
  • Many areas can be treated, including the neck, abdomen, chest, armpits, thighs, buttocks, back, and upper arms.

Why Choose Liposuction at Beautologie?

Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures at Beautologie, performed by our skilled surgeons in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton. We use the latest advanced techniques, including tumescent and ultrasonic liposuction, to ensure the safest procedure with the best possible results. Whether you're seeking body contouring or looking to reduce those last stubborn areas of fat, our team is here to help you achieve your goals.

Before Liposuction: Initial Consultation

The first step in your liposuction journey is a consultation with one of our experienced plastic surgeons. During this visit, we’ll assess if liposuction is right for you. For individuals with loose skin in the areas they wish to treat, a skin removal procedure may be recommended instead. We make sure to discuss the limitations of liposuction and ensure that you have realistic expectations for the procedure.

It’s important to share your full medical history during the consultation, as it may impact the outcome of your surgery. Our surgeons will answer any questions you may have and provide personalized recommendations.

Preparing for Your Liposuction Procedure

Proper preparation is key to ensuring the best possible outcome from your liposuction surgery. We recommend that you begin preparing at least two weeks in advance by avoiding medications that contain aspirin or other blood thinners. This reduces the risk of bleeding during surgery. The night before your procedure, get plenty of rest, and make arrangements for someone to accompany you to your appointment and drive you home afterward.

It is important to be at or near your goal weight before undergoing liposuction. While liposuction is an effective body contouring procedure, it’s not designed for significant weight loss. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 35, we may recommend that you lose weight before undergoing the procedure. Our Medical Weight Loss program can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Additionally, establishing healthy exercise and dietary habits before the surgery is important, as maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery will help ensure your results last. Liposuction is designed to remove stubborn fat, but it is not a substitute for weight loss. If you're looking for weight loss solutions, our team can discuss additional options tailored to your needs.

Types of Liposuction: Tumescent and Ultrasonic Liposuction

At Beautologie, we offer advanced liposuction techniques to deliver the safest, most effective results for our patients. Our options include:

  • Tumescent Liposuction: During this procedure, our surgeons inject a special tumescent solution (a mix of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine) into the targeted area. This solution firms the fat, making it easier to remove, and reduces bleeding, swelling, and bruising after surgery.
  • Ultrasonic Liposuction: In some cases, ultrasonic energy is used to liquefy fat cells, making them easier to remove. A thin vacuum tube, known as a cannula, is then used to suction out the fat.

Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia, and a compression garment is worn afterward to aid recovery. The tiny incisions are closed with sutures, minimizing visible scars.

Combining Liposuction with Other Cosmetic Procedures

Liposuction can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance your results. Many of our patients choose to pair liposuction with treatments such as:

  • Tummy Tucks
  • Body Lift Surgery
  • Breast Reduction

Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your aesthetic goals and enhances your overall results.

Renuvion for Skin Tightening After Liposuction

At Beautologie, we are proud to offer Renuvion (J-Plasma®), a revolutionary skin-tightening technology that works beautifully in conjunction with liposuction. Renuvion uses a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and refresh loose skin without the need for invasive surgery, long recovery times, or large scars.

When combined with liposuction, Renuvion provides optimal results, leaving you with smoother, firmer skin.

Areas Treatable with Liposuction

Liposuction is effective in treating several areas of the body, including:

  1. Anterior Neck
  2. Posterior Neck
  3. Upper Arms
  4. Upper Back (Bra Roll)
  5. Axilla (Armpits/Side Breast)
  6. Flanks (Love Handles/Muffin Top)
  7. Abdomen (Stomach)
  8. Lower Back
  9. Outer Thighs (Hips)
  10. Supra-pubic Area (Mons Pubis)
  11. Inner Thighs

Areas Not Treated with Liposuction

Liposuction is not recommended for the knees or posterior calves. However, we offer alternative non-surgical treatments for these areas to help achieve a smoother, more contoured appearance.

What to Expect After Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction results in a slimmer, more contoured body shape, often referred to as “liposculpture” due to the sculpting effect it has on the body. While some bruising and swelling are expected after surgery, these side effects generally subside within a few weeks. You may need to take it easy for a few days, but most patients can return to work in about 3-5 days. You’ll be prescribed medication to manage any discomfort.

Swelling may persist for up to six months, with full results becoming visible after this time. Thanks to our advanced techniques, the scars left behind are minimal and well-hidden, fading within a few weeks.

Follow-up visits are essential for monitoring your healing progress and ensuring the best possible results.
