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.

Expect mild swelling, bruising, and soreness. Rest is important, but gentle movement like short walks is encouraged to support circulation.
You’ll likely be back to work or light activity. A compression garment will help manage swelling and support your healing process.
Bruising fades and swelling begins to decrease. You may start noticing early changes in your shape.
Most swelling has resolved, and you’re usually cleared to return to your normal exercise routine—depending on the areas treated.
Your final results take shape. A more sculpted, refined silhouette begins to feel naturally yours.

Lipo 360 is an advanced approach to shaping the body. It is so much more than what’s on the scale! Every woman wants to have a flat tummy and a defined waist. But starving is not the answer. Of course you want curves, but everything has to start with your body first. Are you tall or petite, athletic or full-bodied; wider hips or more slender? Most important, how do you like your derriere? Your buttocks? A beautiful, feminine body must have a natural curve from the waist to the buttocks to the hips.
Lipo 360 is an artistic approach to refining your body. Giving you the sensuous curves that look natural. From the shoulders to the waist, from the tummy to the hips, pockets of fat are either removed or added to give you the shape and curves that you always wanted but couldn’t make happen. Lipo 360 is a surgical procedure under anesthesia and is best for women who are healthy but frustrated with their bodies. The areas that are usually treated: tummy, waist, bra roll and back, underarms and breast fat, hips, buttocks and thighs. Fat that is removed is frequently used to enhance shape where more is needed ( BBL or buttocks enhancement). Its not about standing out, its about loving your body.
Refine the shape of your upper arms or thighs with targeted liposuction that smooths and slims without changing your natural proportions.
Comprehensively contour your midsection—front, sides, and back—for a more defined waistline and smoother overall silhouette.
Remove fullness beneath the chin and along the jawline to sharpen your profile and restore facial balance, often in a single, simple procedure.
Our pricing is all-inclusive—covering everything from your pre-op visits and surgery to all post-op care. It also includes anesthesia, your custom compression garment, and scar treatment. These estimates are meant to give you a clear, accurate idea of what to expect.
Each surgical plan is personalized, so your exact pricing may vary. Additional options like fat grafting, Renuvion (scarless skin tightening), high-definition etching (to enhance muscle definition), higher BMI considerations (over 32), or an overnight stay may affect the total cost.

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.
