Liposuction

Targeted fat reduction with artful shaping—sleek, natural lines tailored to your anatomy.

Overview

Liposuction refines areas where fat persists despite healthy habits. Dr. Slamin blends precise contouring with safety-first protocols to sculpt the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, neck, and more. Results emphasize sculpting and harmonious transitions.

Surgical Notes

  • Downtime: Back to desk work ~2–5 days depending on areas; exercise ~1–3 weeks with clearance
  • Anesthesia: Local with sedation or general anesthesia (based on extent)
  • Setting: Accredited surgery center
  • Incisions/Scars: Pinpoint access sites hidden in natural creases
  • Results Timeline: Early debulking with final contour by ~3-6 months as swelling resolves
  • Longevity: Permanent fat cell removal; maintain with stable weight

Goals of Liposuction

  • Smooth, proportionate lines to complement your natural frame
  • Target stubborn zones (e.g., bra roll, saddlebag, flanks)
  • Option to repurpose fat to hips, breasts or face for balance

Candidates for Liposuction

  • Localized fat collections with good skin elasticity
  • Stable weight and realistic goals
  • Non-smoker or willing to follow an optimization plan

Dr. Slamin’s Approach to Liposuction

Consultation & Planning

We map your “problem areas”, skin quality, and asymmetries. A plan prioritizes harmony from all viewing angles—front, profile, and three-quarter.

Technical Aspects

  • Even Extraction: Fan-shaped, multi-plane passes for a smooth surface
  • Transition Zones: Careful blending to avoid step-offs
  • Compression Strategy: Garments tailored to area and comfort
  • Safety: Conservative tumescent volumes and DVT prevention protocols

Day of Procedure

Length varies by area. You’ll go home in a compression garment with clear aftercare provided in advance.
