Body Contouring Liposuction | Las Vegas, NV | Terrence Higgins, MD FACS

Understanding Liposuction Surgery

Despite dedicated diet and exercise efforts, some individuals struggle with persistent fat deposits that resist traditional weight loss methods. Plastic Surgery Vegas offers advanced liposuction treatments designed to effectively eliminate stubborn fat from multiple body areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.

Key Benefits of Liposuction

• Effectively removes resistant fat pockets
• Enhances body confidence
• Provides customizable surgical approach
• Minimally invasive with small incisions

Liposuction Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals at their target weight with localized fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise. Patients should have healthy skin elasticity and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Procedure Overview

Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Using specialized cannula tools, surgeons strategically remove targeted fat deposits through small, carefully placed incisions. The procedure duration varies depending on treatment areas.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery typically spans several weeks, with initial bruising and swelling subsiding within 1-2 weeks. Full body contouring results develop gradually over 6-10 months. Patients are advised to maintain a stable weight to preserve surgical outcomes.

Nonsurgical Alternatives

While nonsurgical options like CoolSculpting and Kybella exist, surgical liposuction remains the most effective method for comprehensive fat reduction. During consultation, Plastic Surgery Vegas will help patients determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.

Long-Term Considerations

Liposuction permanently reduces fat cell count in treated areas. However, maintaining results requires commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including consistent diet and exercise. Weight fluctuations can impact long-term surgical outcomes.
