Liposuction in Las Vegas, NV

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States because it is minimally invasive with little downtime, relatively little risk, and almost imperceivable scars. This body contouring procedure can be an effective solution if you have localized fat deposits that you cannot eliminate with diet and exercise. At VPSI in Las Vegas, NV, we offer a range of liposuction options to help you remove unwanted fat and achieve your dream body.

The Benefits of Getting Liposuction

Some of the most notable benefits of liposuction include:

• Liposuction allows you to eliminate excess fat deposits in target areas.
• Liposuction can address multiple parts of the body.
• It is easy to combine liposuction with abdominoplasty and breast procedures.
• Liposuction is a minimally invasive, low-risk procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

You are a good candidate for liposuction if you have modest amounts of excess fat (localized fat stores that are hard to get with exercise) and good skin elasticity. If you have extra skin and a high BMI, you may not benefit from this procedure.

Liposuction is Great If You

• Are in good health overall
• Looking to remove modest amounts of excess fat
• Have a healthy lifestyle, including a nutritious diet and moderate exercise
• Do not have too much skin laxity
• Have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve

What Areas Does Liposuction Target?

During your initial consultation at VPSI, you will have the opportunity to discuss your areas of concern with one of our doctors in a safe and comfortable environment. You can choose to eliminate unwanted fat deposits in many different parts of the body, including the following:

Abdomen
Liposuction is often used to eliminate stubborn belly fat and is most effective when combined with a tummy tuck.

Love Handles
This body procedure can eliminate the so-called “love handles” for a more contoured figure.

Upper Arms 
Liposuction can be a viable solution if you are dissatisfied with excess fat in your upper arms. This procedure can give you the confidence to wear the clothes you love.

Hips
Often, fat accumulates at the hips, particularly postpartum. Liposuction can target and remove this fat to give you that hourglass figure.

Thighs
If you are looking to shape and contour your thighs, liposuction can be a safe and effective treatment option.

Back
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure frequently used to eliminate back fat, including the dreaded “bra roll.”

Under the Chin 
Liposuction can also be an effective means of eliminating submental fat, which causes the “double chin” effect.

The Liposuction Process Explained

Different types of liposuction are available based on your individual needs and desires. Our practice performs both Suction Assisted Liposuction (SAL) and Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL). These liposuction procedures involve small incisions through which we can carefully remove excess fat tissue from the target treatment area.

Recovery and Aftercare

One of the reasons for the popularity of this procedure is that the recovery time is relatively mild compared with other types of plastic surgery. Recovery typically lasts just three to five days, though you should abstain from vigorous exercise for two to four weeks.

You can anticipate some discomfort, including swelling and bruising. These symptoms will clear up within a few days, and you can effectively manage them with pain medication.

Can Liposuction Be Performed In Combination With Other Procedures?

Liposuction techniques are often combined with other procedures to achieve the most pleasing aesthetic results. Most notably, you can combine liposuction with other body contouring procedures such as the tummy tuck, butt lift, and total body rejuvenation (mommy makeover). Your doctor will happily discuss combining liposuction with other procedures to obtain the best outcomes during your consultation.
