PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
The procedure took very little time (about 30 minutes). The bruising lasted less than two weeks. I only experienced pain during transitions (sitting to standing, rolling over in bed). The results of my aquashape liposuction were better than I expected. The recovery time and pain was less than I expected. The surgeon and office staff were very professional.

The outcome!! I had aquashape lipo on my stomach after having a baby. It had made me 100% more confident in myself. . The staff is amazing! I was 100% comfortable the entire time. They make sure you are completely satisfied and do everything they can to make you comfortable.
— Real Patient Ratings
Dr. Ditisheim was AMAZING! He is so very professional and patient and really listens to what a patient is asking for. I needed liposuction and a tummy tuck and he went over the procedure and aftercare in great detail. Even better, when I asked tentatively, if he could put some of my own fat back into my cheeks, hands and even some into my breast to help conform it to perfectly match my other breast, he said sure, no problem. And what he did was PERFECT!! He is actually somewhat of an artist, really. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants any kind of procedure.

It started 7 years agoI was researching liposuction surgery. I went to a couple of places.During this time I was not financially able to do it. The cost is not bad I just did not have the funds to do it then...But I watched the informercial on Channel 14 With Dr .Ditesheim and was very impressed with Aquashape lipo I did the surgery and am very pleased with every aspect of the procedure from start to finish. I can fit back into a size 12 and that is outstanding. The entire Ditesheim team is awesome. I have been recommending them to everyone that ask and complements me. They went above and beyond my expectation..

I had the pleasure of getting liposuction of the abdominals, lower and upper back, as well as my arms. I chose Dr. Diteshiem because of his extensive and specialty work with liposuction and his different methods. I met with about a dozen different plastic surgery doctors who offered liposuction in various cities, but Dr. Diteshiem specialized in it and had more than one method depending on the person. This was a no brainier for me. I could not be happier with the results or the team at Diteshiem Cosmetic. They were with me every step of the way, prepared me perfectly, and were always available via text or call. I will go back to him and recommend him highly!
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that reshapes certain areas of the body by removing stubborn, unwanted fat. With state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled commitment to excellence, Dr. Ditesheim provides the best cosmetic surgery liposuction in Charlotte. At Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery, our goal is to help patients feel comfortable, well-cared-for, and well-informed from beginning to end. Your unique plastic surgery liposuction experience will vary based on the amount of fat being removed or the type of procedure you desire.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques in Charlotte For Precise Body Contouring
Dr. Ditesheim has multiple advanced liposuction techniques that can help different people achieve different goals, although all of them involve beginning with the end result in mind. All liposuction procedures begin with a tumescent liposuction solution that shrinks blood vessels and numbs the area being treated whether done under local or general anesthesia.
VASERLIPO
VaserLipo or Vaser Liposuction uses controlled ultrasonic energy to permanently remove superficial fat and tighten skin for precise body sculpting results.

AQUASHAPE™
Aquashape: (Water-jet Liposuction) Permanent fat removal with a Gentle pulsed water jet. Excellent for Awake Liposuction of one or two areas with quick recovery.

HIGH DEFINITION
High Definition Liposuction is an advanced approach to precise body sculpting. Fat is selectively removed to reveal muscular highlights and anatomical detail.

Advantages of AquaShape Liposuction
AQUASHAPE™ or Water liposuction is a uniquely gentle technology. Rather than use heat like Laser liposuction (also SmartLipo), Aquashape uses a controlled focus water jet to dislodge and remove fat permanently.”
One of the beauties of this surgical lipo procedure is that it can address stubborn fat nearly anywhere on the body. Dr. Ditesheim encourages patients to be open-minded when considering liposuction of one area of the body, as his approach is to consider the whole body contour circumferentially to truly sculpt the figure you want to achieve.
Abdominal or Tummy liposuction can help both men and women achieve a flatter stomach, enhanced muscle definition, and a greater degree of confidence.
Minimally invasive neck treatment with Renuvion and Liposuction: 57yr (5’1″ 130lb) before and 2 months after neck treatment with Renuvion and liposuction under local anesthesia.
For all women, a defined waist is essential to looking beautiful in clothes. Anatomically, the waist is the narrow zone where the lowest part of the chest meets the highest part of the pelvis. This serves as a defining point between the upper and lower body. Excess fat in the waist area causes the “muffin-top”. Selectively sculpting and removing lower back fat defines the waist and shapes the buttocks.
Defining the Waist and Shaping the Buttocks: 42yr (5’5″ 160lb) Before and 3 months after High Definition Liposculpting with VaserLipo and Renuvion. Back fat was removed with circumferential liposuction (Lipo360) and the buttocks was augmented with fat.
Restoring the Athletic Male Back: 59 yr (5’10” 202lb) Before and after 4 months. High Definition Liposculpting restored the V shape to the male back. Love handles are gone and the buttocks was augmented to a youthful shape.
Bra Rolls and Back Fat can be frustrating to embarrassing. Excess upper back fat gets squeezed above and below the bra strap. Using easily hidden 5mm incisions in the armpit or lower back, the superficial back fat can be easily removed. To obtain a smooth back without rolls, the skin must redrape over the back muscles. With age or decreased skin tone, back skin can lose elasticity. To tighten potentially loose skin, Renuvion is used to tighten the back skin. This advanced technology is used after liposuction to tighten the ligaments (collagen fibers) that connect the skin to the deeper muscle layer. Renuvion is used to minimize the appearance of loose skin.
High Definition Liposuction and Renuvion: 47yr (5’6″ 182lb) Before and after 18 months. Back and bra roll fat was removed with Vaserlipo and the skin tightened with Renuvion. Arms were treated with liposuction and brachioplasty ( skin excision).
For men who struggle with nipple puffiness or a round chest from excess breast tissue, it can be hard to feel masculine and confident without a shirt.
Restoring a masculine chest always requires removing the abnormal glandular tissue. High definition liposuction further defines the chest by defining the chest highlights: the hollow under the chest, the lateral pectoral border and the hollow under the arm. Sometimes fat is added to the chest to restore the upper pole convexity. Learn more about gynecomastia surgery.
Treating Male Breasts or Gynecomastia with Liposhaping: 23yr (5’9″ 222lb) Before and 3 months after gynecomastia treatment with VaserLipo and glandular excision under local anesthesia.
Defining the Male Chest and Torso: 27yr (6’1″ 179lb) Before and 5 years after ( wt increased 27lb to 206 with body building). High Definition Liposuction to define the abdominal muscles, arms, chest.
“Hanging Arms” are very frustrating both because they suggest poor fitness and older age. Sleeveless tops, even jackets don’t fit, leading to embarrassment and frustration. Sculpting the arms by removing fat circumferentially can restore the athletic, youthful shape. Often Renuvion is used to tighten loose skin after liposuction. When arm skin has significantly stretched, removing skin is often necessary (brachioplasty).
Correcting Hanging Arms: 47yr (5’6″ 182lb) Before and 2 months after Arm shaping with VaserLipo, Renuvion and Brachioplasty.
Defining athletic arms by revealing muscular definition: 41yr (5’7″ 171lb) Before and after 9 months. High Definition Liposuction, like sculpture, can uncover the true muscular definition.
Saddlebags or Heavy, Thick Thighs result in body disproportion. Jeans that fit the thighs will not fit the waist. Inner thigh chafing can be a problem. Shaping the thighs starts first with understanding your frame ( shape of the pelvis) and muscular definition. Runners will have larger quadriceps muscles. Excess fatty tissue can cause the beautiful tapered shape of the thighs and legs to appear shapeless, thick and heavy. Fat is selectively removed from the inner, outer thighs, knees and upper legs. Occasionally, fat is removed circumferentially from both the thighs and legs to obtain a feminine athletic shape. Lipedema is a condition that causes excess and painful fatty tissue deposits most frequently in the lower body of young women. Aquashape Liposuction, preserving lymphatic vessels, is the preferred treatment method.
Liposculpting the Thighs and Legs to correct Lipedema: 25yr (5’0″ 133lb) Before and 1 year after Aquashape Liposuction to remove excess painful fat (lipedema) from the thighs and legs. The shape of the calf and ankle is restored.
Correcting Saddlebags with Liposuction: 24yr (5’10” 163lb) Before and 2 months after Aquashape liposuction for the thighs and knees.
Losing the shape and definition of the neck foretells aging. The jawline and neck angle blur and the lower face is no longer defined. Sometimes excess superficial fatty tissue under the chin and upper neck can be removed to restore the neck angle and jawline (Neck Liposuction). With age, neck skin loses elasticity. Renuvion can be used with liposuction in Charlotte to improve neck shape without surgery (Renuvion and Neck Lipo). For some patients, the neck has an excess of deeper fat that needs surgical liposuction. (Necklift).
Minimally invasive neck treatment with Renuvion and Liposuction: 57yr (5’1″ 130lb) before and 2 months after neck treatment with Renuvion and liposuction under local anesthesia.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost in Charlotte?
Dr. Ditesheim knows that everyone wants the best value for their money. And with many plastic surgeons content to diminish or play down patients’ end costs in an attempt to hurry them through their decision to have liposuction, Dr. Ditesheim emphasizes transparency throughout the process.
Liposuction is an investment in your appearance and self-image. The four patients had different procedures and you can see their investment. The investment is given for transparency so you can see the investment together with the surgical result. Each person’s investment will be based on the surgical plan at the time of consultation. These fees are not meant to be a warranty or implied guarantee of any other patient’s fees or investment.

Costs presented are accurate for the patients shown. Exact cost of your procedure will be included at your consultation after Dr. Ditesheim examines you.
Liposuction Affordability
Having Liposuction is an investment in your body and yourself. The results will last for many years. We understand that this is a significant investment. We work with two companies that provide third-party financing: Care Credit and Alpheon. Most of our patients who choose to finance will select a 12 month – no interest plan. There are other plans which spread the investment over more time.

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that provides a clinical reduction in subcutaneous fat. Additional benefits include a tighter, more contoured appearance for a shapelier figure, as well as a healthier lifestyle and improved self-esteem. Moreover, results are usually achieved in one treatment, which is performed with general or local anesthesia. Results are generally permanent, as long as the patient’s weight remains stable.
When Is Liposuction Recommended?
Liposuction is a convenient way for patients to get the figure they want, especially if they struggle with losing weight. The procedure can effectively remove stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to exercise and diet. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ditesheim can let you know if liposuction is right for you.
Ideal Candidate
One way to ensure the safety and efficacy of liposuction in Charlotte is to be a well-qualified candidate for this minimally invasive procedure. Liposuction is widely available to many people who have concerns about specific problem areas or who want general enhancement in their body contour.
A good candidate for liposuction is at a stable weight and has no underlying health conditions that would make surgery risky. Even those labeled as “overweight” can be good candidates in many cases, although Dr. Ditesheim will determine candidacy during an in-person consultation.
Understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, and in order to maintain your results and ideal body weight it is best to get regular exercise and maintain a healthy diet.
Before arriving for your liposuction appointment, Dr. Ditesheim will instruct you on which medications you can and cannot take in the days and weeks leading up to the procedure. He will also instruct you to stop smoking, as this inhibits the body’s healing process and increases the risk of complications.
You will need to arrange for a friend or loved one to drive you home from the procedure, and you will likely need to refrain from eating or drinking for at least 12 hours before your surgery.
Liposuction Recovery
The recovery timeline can vary depending on the extent of your specific liposuction procedure surgical plan. Those who undergo a local anesthetic procedure will likely need less time to recover than those with more extensive procedures under general anesthesia. In most cases, patients can return to light work after about a week or two, but will feel discomfort in the days leading up to this point.
Immediately after surgery, you will have bandages and in some cases drains that Dr. Ditesheim will provide care instructions for during a consultation. Your activity level and range of motion for things like bending over and lifting objects will be reduced until you’re more fully healed. Most Charlotte liposuction patients see full results after swelling and bruising has gone significantly down, usually at around the six-week mark.
Your Liposuction Recovery Timeline
It’s important to remember that your recovery may differ from anyone else’s. Likewise, recovery processes can vary with the different techniques used, but in general, you can expect:
Day 1
The most important thing during this time is keeping pressure off your treated area. Compression garments or an ice pack will be critical to keeping the swelling down. Pain and anti-inflammatory medication are also essential to keep on hand. Depending on what your provider recommends, medication like acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help with pain and swelling. As your body heals, keep the treated area elevated to reduce swelling. Bleeding and oozing from the incisions is normal, and bruising around the treated zone is also common. It’s also important to stay hydrated and nourished at this phase, so make sure to eat soft foods and drink sufficient water.
WEEK 1
You should see improvement in the pain, bruising, and swelling you’ve experienced. Bandages can typically be removed after day 3, but your should plan to take it easy. Gentle exercise is usually fine, but make sure to refrain from stretching or putting excess pressure on the treated areas. Patients can usually return to work during this time.
WEEK 2
Almost all of your pre-procedure routine can generally be resumed. Your work and daily life should be able to approach normality. From work to exercise to wrangling your energetic family, these activities should be safe to rejoin.
Common Questions About Liposuction
Dr. Ditesheim performs liposuction procedures both using local and general anesthesia, depending on the intensity of the procedure and the number of incisions being made.
Visceral fat are deposits of fat deep in the body, covering internal organs. These cannot be removed with liposuction.
If you have body fat that won’t go away no matter what you eat or do, liposuction can be an effective way to permanently remove it.
Liposuction procedures vary widely in their cost based on your goals. For those looking to stick to a budget or treat only one area, liposuction can cost between $4,000 and $6,000. For those who want the most advanced liposuction techniques and the most dramatic transformation, procedures can cost up to $15,000.
No. Fat that is removed with liposuction is permanently gone. However, gaining weight following treatment will cause increased fat stores uniformly throughout the body, which will affect your achieved results.
People who have been treated with liposuction do not lose much weight as a direct result of the procedure. However, many patients experience a boost in self-confidence, helping them get back into a healthy exercise routine to maximize their results.
There is a limit to how much fat can be safely removed during liposuction procedures, although up to five liters may be able to be suctioned away depending on your needs and goals.
Not in every scenario. Using the gentle, efficient AquaShape liposuction device, Dr. Ditesheim can perform minor liposuction procedures without having to put the patient under general anesthesia. This shortens recovery time and makes the procedure more affordable.
At the end of the day, a variety of factors make liposuction performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon safe and highly effective. These include the type of facility, the doctor’s expertise, and the patient’s qualifications for surgery.

Dr Ditesheim is the only surgeon that I will let work on my body. He is a perfectionist. He listens to what you want and he delivers. I got a breast augmentation with him last year and just recently got a tummy tuck, lipo and bbl and although I am still in recovery I can already tell that just like my breast I am going to be more than satisfied with my results. The staff are all beautiful, friendly and caring as well. Highly recommended.

The team at Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery is nothing short of fabulous! From consultation to follow up appointment; they were patient, kind, informative and understanding. I had a saline implant that had lost volume, and wanted to also get rid of some stubborn fat around my waist/hips. Dr. Ditesheim thoroughly discussed options with me during my consultation, offering wisdom on how to achieve the look that I wanted. I opted to swap both of my implants out for silicone and had aqua liposuction on my abdomen and hips. It’s been 4 months since my surgery, and the results are outstanding and my scars are almost invisible. I highly recommend Dr. Ditesheim to a seasoned patient like myself, or someone who is looking for comfort during their first cosmetic procedure. I certainly would not go elsewhere after finding this gem!

Extraordinary experience! I always feel safe and protected with Dr. Ditesheim and his staff. I call him Dr. Miracle Hands. Several years ago, I found him after I was unsatisfied with a tummy tuck I received in Raleigh. Dr. Ditesheim listened and fixed everything. I told him I wanted my breast lifted at later date. Six years later, I went back and he worked another miracle. I am 45 and look 30 years old. I look AMAZING. He did a breast lift, no implants, lipo, and Renuvion to smooth my skin in arms and thighs. The stretch marks on my thighs have been reduced so much, I walked the beach with confidence 3 weeks after procedure! Pain was minimal. I took pain medication for 2 days, cut my time-off short and went back to work after the 4th day. The staff called ME the next day to check on me. Why travel to other states and countries when there is a place here in NC that can give you quality , superior effects, and assurance that you will be going home safe to your loved ones? I now have friends cancelling their Miami procedures, requesting refunds, hoping for future surgeries here in NC. I am done with my aesthetic journey, but I hope I have helped others to make a good choice to trust Dr. Ditesheim, Allison, and Alyson ( there's 2) as they are all amazing. I trust them with my body and my life. Thank you "Dr. Miracle Hands". Here is a picture 8 days after at post op and 3 weeks after in Jamaica. I still have tape on my breast and will not go to have removed until later in June but all of my 2- pieces looked great!

I went to see Dr Ditesheim for a tummy tuck. He talked to me for quite sometime. He was very professional and answered all my concerns. His staff was also knowledgeable, and very helpful so I decided to book my surgery with him. I am excited I have wanted to do this for 3 years now. One week later I had my surgery and I have to tell you it was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. But!!! Within four days I started to feel better. My surgery looks amazing. I am 66 years old and my body looks more like I'm in my 20.'s I cannot say enough about how happy I am. I would highly recommend Dr Ditesheim and his entire staff. Thanks Dr D. For giving me my life back. Oh I almost forgot this, doctor d took the fat from my lipo of my stomach and placed it in my bottom. I've been flat as a pancake my whole life and now I actually have a little rounded bottom, looks fantastic.

In life we are made to believe, "if it seems to good to be true," then most likely it is not true. However, when it comes to the masterful cosmetic surgical practice of Dr. Ditesheim, this ideal is not true. The very moment that the procedure was complete, I visually realized that "if it is to good to be true," then it has to be true, for Dr. Ditesheim had changed my body forever. For any guy out there that is contemplating liposuction, I say go for it, it is really a life changing experience. Furthermore, I 100% recommend Dr. Ditesheim, he is experienced, professional and understands the surgical point of view and needs of the male body.

I have been over 310 pounds for over 15 years. 4 years ago I had gastric bypass. I lost 126 pounds but still had a TON of skin left over. I saw several plastic surgeons over a few years preparing for my next step in my weight loss journey. I even saw what I thought was a highly regarded surgeon locally. I found his accolades in several magazines and heard his advertisements not knowing they were all paid for. When I went there I was given to a surgeon who was NOT board certified. That coupled with his plan to create over 6 major scars on my body caused me to search for another surgeon. I found Dr. Ditesheim through the web and a referral from a friend. When I met Dr. Ditesheim and his staff I was amazed at their level of knowledge and their level of care. I had researched what I thought I needed to have done and went in with a plan. Dr. D, Susie, and JJ listened to my plan and asked several key questions. As they asked these questions it revealed that my plan wasn't what was best for me. They constantly referred back to my health, my recovery, and my ultimate outcome. As we developed this plan they consulted every aspect of my life. They wanted to know what support I had, if I had enough time to recover, when I needed to get back to work, and if I was mentally prepared for the surgery. As prepared as I was it still was going into unknown territory for me. As an expert in my field I know all the ins and outs. I try to prepare all of my clients for what to expect but I know that it is uncharted territory for them. I knew this is what Dr. D and the staff were doing for me. They gave me all the tools I needed to make the best decision I could but I did have to trust their wisdom, and expertise to take me through the whole experience. I had my first surgery on 2/6/14. This was the most invasive, a full tummy tuck. I had over 10 pounds of skin, and tissue to be removed. I have never been a small girl but for the first time in my life I wore a bikini to the beach this summer. That was never my goal but it was/is a glorious outcome I never expected. My last surgery was 11/6/14. I am just two weeks out from having Aquashape liposuction to my entire thighs, bat wing arms, and some to my torso. I am already beyond thrilled with the results and I am still very swollen. I can’t imagine having anyone else perform my surgeries. I have even referred several gastric patients to Dr. D. If you are looking for more than just a surgeon you have found him! Thanks Dr. D!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ditesheim and his amazing staff. I am SO pleased with the results of my breast augmentation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, wow! I also chose to have the Aquashape liposuction procedure done a few months later. Although the recovery time was lengthy and uncomfortable, I am happy with the results. Dr. Ditesheim is a fantastic surgeon. I am also very pleased with the follow up visits I have received after both surgeries. Susie, JJ and Jan are absolute gems. Thank you so much for keeping me so well informed and in good hands before, during and after surgery. Thank you, Dr. Ditesheim for making me feel like a new person. I would highly recommend Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery.

"SO MANY THANKS to Dr. Ditesheim and his staff. My entire experience with this office was excellent. I requested a consult for lipo on some trouble spots that did not respond to significant weight loss and extreme exercise. From the welcoming office staff to the skilled nurses and Dr. Ditesheim himself, everyone made me feel comfortable and reassured before, during and after my procedure. Dr. Ditesheim was a pleasure to work with, he takes his work very seriously, and spent a lot of time with me to make sure he understood my wishes and then developed a plan to make this happen. Shout outs to Jan, JJ and Susie who were so personable and adapted visits and follow-ups to my very busy schedule. The procedure went well, a surprisingly quick recovery for my significant surgery and I was back to my normal, very active and hectic routine within days. Pre- and post-op phone calls by the staff were greatly appreciated and they gave me every possible cell phone/email to use should I have any post-op concerns. Dr. D was one of several consults made for my lipo procedure, but I was sold when I observed his knowledgeable and skilled manner, his staff's excellent concern for me as a patient, and the cost. I couldn't have been happier. I am several months post-procedure now, and see a dramatic post-op difference- I am constantly amazed with the difference this procedure has made for me! A million thanks to the Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery Group."
