Fat Reduction Liposuction Baton Rouge, LA | Dr. John A. Dean, MD

Understanding Liposuction in Baton Rouge

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist traditional diet and exercise methods. At Associates in Plastic Surgery, patients in Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish can achieve refined body contours through advanced surgical techniques.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the skin's surface to improve body contour. Using a hollow cannula inserted through small incisions, surgeons can precisely target and eliminate fatty deposits in multiple body areas.

Common Treatment Areas

• Abdomen
• Hips
• Back
• Thighs
• Upper arms
• Chin and neck

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

The best candidates for liposuction are physically healthy non-smokers within 30% of their ideal body weight. Patients should have good skin elasticity, muscle tone, and realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Procedure

Liposuction is typically performed under anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. The procedure involves making small incisions, inserting a cannula to loosen fatty tissue, and then suctioning out targeted fat cells. Most procedures are completed on an outpatient basis.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from liposuction generally takes 1-2 weeks. Patients can usually return to work within this timeframe, though strenuous activities should be avoided for four weeks. Follow-up appointments help monitor healing and assess surgical results.

Procedure Cost

Liposuction pricing varies based on treatment areas and individual patient needs. Typical cost ranges include:

• Inner & Outer Thighs: $6,025-$6,310
• Abdomen: $3,040-$3,835
• Hips or Love Handles: $3,350-$3,500

Consultation and Preparation

During the initial consultation, board-certified plastic surgeons will discuss individual goals, review medical history, and develop a personalized surgical plan. Patients receive comprehensive preparation instructions to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.
