Shape Your Body

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from targeted areas of the body. Using a thin cannula and suction technology, Dr. Lovell carefully sculpts a slimmer, more defined shape while maintaining smooth, natural contours.

Liposuction is ideal for patients who have stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise. This procedure does not address loose skin but can be combined with skin-tightening treatments or surgical lifts for enhanced results.

A Custom Approach for Contoured Results

What is the liposuction procedure like?

Dr. Lovell’s approach to liposuction focuses on smooth, natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and downtime.

  1. Anesthesia & Incisions – The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, with tiny incisions placed discreetly to minimize scarring.
  2. Fat Removal & Sculpting – A thin cannula is inserted beneath the skin to break up and remove excess fat, ensuring even, refined contouring.
  3. Closure & Recovery – Sutures are placed in small incisions, and compression garments are provided to minimize swelling and promote healing.

Dr. Lovell’s precise technique ensures that fat is removed strategically to enhance natural body proportions.

Since fat cells don’t grow back once removed, results can be long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle. Using small, discreet incisions and advanced techniques, Dr. Lovell ensures minimal scarring and a smooth recovery, so you can return to daily activities with confidence. Many patients love the way their clothes fit better and enjoy a renewed sense of self-assurance, making everything from shopping to special occasions even more enjoyable.

Discover if Liposuction is Right for You

Am I a candidate for liposuction?

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you:

  • Have localized fat deposits that won’t budge with diet and exercise
  • Are at a stable weight with good skin elasticity
  • Desire a more contoured, sculpted figure
  • Have realistic expectations about body contouring

During your consultation, Dr. Lovell will assess your concerns and goals to determine if liposuction is the best option for you.

Long-Lasting Contours

Liposuction Recovery

Liposuction recovery is smooth and well-managed, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week.

  • Mild swelling and soreness are expected in the first few days
  • Compression garments are worn for 8 weeks to support healing
  • Light activity can resume in 5-7 days, with full exercise after 4-6 weeks
  • Final results become visible over 3-6 months as swelling subsides

Dr. Lovell provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and lasting results.

Reveal Your Best Shape

Liposuction Results

Liposuction improves body contour, but the final results take time to fully develop. In the first few weeks, swelling and bruising may obscure your new shape. By 3-6 months, as swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to your new contours, the final results become more defined, revealing a smoother, more sculpted figure.

The results of liposuction are long-lasting, as the fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is essential to preserving your new shape. While natural aging may lead to minor changes over time, the refined, contoured appearance achieved through liposuction will remain noticeably improved for years.
