How Does Liposuction Work?

Liposuction works almost anywhere on the body where people have areas of excess fat, including under the chin, around the abdomen and sides, around the arms and thighs, to reduce back fat and to contour the waistline. Because liposuction requires skill and artistry to make sure patients see the best results, experienced liposuction professionals like Dr. Lawton should perform your procedure.

To perform your liposuction, Dr. Lawton makes small incisions to insert cannulas under the skin and into the fat layer. The cannulas break up areas of fat and suction them away. Treatment can take from one to four hours, depending on the size of the area and the amount of fat to remove. 

How Long Does it Take to Recover from Liposuction?

Liposuction recovery lasts about two weeks. You may have a compression garment to wear for a few days to support your recovery. Most people can resume moderate activity after this time but should wait for Dr. Lawton’s approval before resuming intensive activities.

What is Liposuction with Renuvion®?

Liposuction treatments work even better when combined with Renuvion®. This radiofrequency (RF) treatment also uses helium gas, allowing it to work at a cooler and more comfortable temperature than standard RF treatments. A small cannula delivers the energy directly to the inside of the skin, where it benefits the most. 

Renuvion® stimulates the production of collagen, a key structural protein that gives the skin firmness, tightness, and elasticity. While liposuction alone will not cause much improvement in loose skin, adding Renuvion® can improve skin’s tightness and tone. 

What are the Benefits of Liposuction with Renuvion®?

The benefits of liposuction, enhanced by those from Renuvion®, offer patients excellent results. 

Immediate Fat Removal

While most other treatments require patients to wait for the body to clear away treated fat cells, liposuction removes them during the procedure, so no long wait for results to appear. 

Firmer Skin

With Renuvion®, liposuction can produce fat removal that smooths an area, and Renuvion® can tighten the skin to leave the treated area looking firmer and more sculpted. 

Only One Treatment

While some methods of body sculpting require an extended series of treatments, liposuction works in one session, so patients should not need any repeat procedures. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

You may be a good candidate if you have reasonable expectations, have no serious health problems, and do not smoke. The ideal candidate is within 20-30 pounds of their ideal body weight and can maintain stable body weight to keep their results consistent.
