Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, or neck. It's designed to sculpt and contour the body by targeting stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
If considering liposuction, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nguyen, board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in body contouring procedures. During the consultation, Dr. Nguyen will evaluate your medical history, assess your aesthetic goals, explain the procedure in detail, and discuss expected outcomes, potential risks, and alternatives.

Liposuction is primarily performed to sculpt and contour the body by removing stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms, chin, neck, and back.
Results of liposuction are visible once swelling subsides, typically within a few weeks to months after the procedure. Patients can expect a slimmer, more contoured appearance in the treated area. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to ensure long-term results.
We believe that patient education is key to achieving the best possible outcome for your health. That's why we take the time to explain explain the procedure in detail, and discuss expected outcomes, potential risks, and alternatives. We want you to feel confident and informed throughout your entire experience.
These are just a few commonly asked questions about liposuction. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.
Ideal candidates for liposuction are generally individuals who are at or near their target weight but have localized areas of excess fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body contouring treatment.
During liposuction, Dr. Nguyen makes small incisions in the target area and inserts a thin tube called a cannula. The cannula is used to suction out excess fat, sculpting the desired contours. There are various techniques for liposuction, including traditional suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser-assisted liposuction (LAL).
Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual factors. Patients typically experience swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated area for several days to weeks after surgery. Compression garments may be worn to help reduce swelling and support the treated area. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days to a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, asymmetry, contour irregularities, fluid accumulation, numbness, and skin discoloration. These risks are relatively low when the procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in a accredited facility.
The results of liposuction are long-lasting, provided that the patient maintains a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated area, it does not prevent new fat cells from forming in other areas of the body.
Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, back, chest, neck, and chin. The specific areas treated depend on the patient's goals and the recommendations of Dr. Nguyen.
The cost of liposuction varies depending on factors such as the number of areas treated, and the complexity of the procedure. It's essential to obtain a personalized cost estimate during a consultation with Dr. Nguyen.
