Body Sculpting Liposuction Chesterfield, MO | Charles Nathan, MD, FACS

Understanding Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional diet and exercise. At St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons utilize advanced techniques to sculpt and refine body contours with precision.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The best liposuction candidates are healthy non-smokers who have:

• Maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months
• Localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Realistic expectations about body contouring

Liposuction Procedure Technique

St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery employs power-assisted liposuction (PAL), an advanced technique that uses a vibrating cannula to break up and remove fat more gently and precisely. The procedure involves:

• Injecting a tumescent solution to minimize bleeding
• Using a specialized cannula to fragment fat deposits
• Suctioning targeted fat cells with minimal tissue trauma

Treatment Areas

Liposuction can effectively target multiple body regions, including:

• Abdomen and flanks
• Hips and thighs
• Buttocks and upper arms
• Neck and chin
• Back and chest

Comprehensive Body Contouring: Lipo360

For patients seeking comprehensive body transformation, Lipo360 offers a complete approach to torso and back contouring, providing a sleeker silhouette from multiple angles.

Recovery and Results

Following liposuction, patients can expect a structured recovery process. A compression garment helps control swelling, and most individuals can resume light activities within two weeks. Full results typically develop over 6-12 months as residual swelling subsides.

Patient Considerations

Liposuction is a spot reduction technique, not a weight loss solution. Patients should maintain realistic expectations and understand that the procedure complements existing fitness and dietary efforts.
