BENEFITS OF LIPOSUCTION
Even though liposuction is not a weight loss solution, it can help to not only slim the body but sculpt and contour for a more toned appearance.
Liposuction comes with many benefits, such as:
- Improving the contour of areas with excess fat
- Enhancing self-esteem
- Reducing the appearance of cellulite
- Providing natural-looking results
- Minimally invasive techniques with local anesthesia
- Permanently reducing fat deposits
It’s important to set realistic expectations with liposuction, knowing that although it enhances appearance and boosts confidence, it’s not a substitute for proper diet and exercise. The ideal candidate who will get the most out of liposuction is close to their ideal weight, has firm skin, and struggles with unwanted pockets of fat.
Liposuction Treatment Areas
Liposuction reduces fat by physically removing fat cells from the body. During a procedure, your surgeon makes a small incision and uses a cannula (a long tube equipped with a gentle vacuum mechanism) to break up fat cells and suction them up and out.
Liposuction can reduce fat from nearly anywhere on the body, such as:
- Upper and lower abdomen (belly fat)
- Flanks and hip rolls (love handles or muffin-tops)
- Armpit fat (bra-bulge)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Chin and neck
- Buttocks
- Inner knee
- Chest and back
- Mons pubis (pubic area)
Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. Dr. Lowney wholeheartedly believes that diet and exercise should be part of your lifestyle to obtain healthy body habits. However, liposuction can debulk unwanted fat to jumpstart a new diet and exercise program.
This method of fat reduction is ideal for healthy men and women who want to spot and reduce a “trouble area” of stubborn fat.

Preparing for Liposuction Surgery
Before your surgery appointment, you will have a consultation with your surgeon. Part of this consultation will be to establish medications, supplements, and vitamins you are currently taking, in case you will need to plan on adjusting them.
About a week before liposuction, it’s a good idea to:
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications to reduce bruising or excessive bleeding
- Find someone who can come pick you up and take you home after the procedure
- Have someone available to help you in the first few days after surgery
- Stay away from smoking to allow your tissues enough oxygenation during recovery
Dr. Lowney will discuss how much time to plan for your procedure. Every patient is different depending on the size and number of treatment areas but typically ranges from an hour to two or more hours.
Liposuction Recovery
Some swelling and bruising are normal after liposuction, along with some discomfort as your body begins healing. Most patients usually take a few days of downtime away from work and other light activities. For more strenuous tasks (including exercise), it may be better to wait a few weeks to give your body time to recover, particularly if you remove large amounts of fat.
Compression garments are a huge help during this time as they can reduce discomfort and help improve the healing process. While liposuction is safe, it is a surgical procedure that needs proper attention to make recovery easier.
Can Fat Grow Back After Liposuction?
Liposuction is a clinically proven method for permanent fat reduction. When fat cells are removed from the body via liposuction techniques, those cells cannot return. This is because the amount of fat cells within your body is fixed once you reach adulthood.
Existing fat cells may expand or decrease in proportion to your body weight, but your body does not create more fat cells if you gain weight, nor does it eliminate fat cells if you lose weight.
What Happens if You Gain Weight After Liposuction?
Your body will not reproduce the fat cells that your liposuction treatment eliminates. However, not all fat cells in the treated area go away with liposuction. Dr. Lowney must preserve at least a small layer of fat to maintain a natural body contour. As long as you maintain your weight after liposuction, your results will be visible for a very long time.
It is possible for the remaining fat cells in the body (both in and around the treated area) to enlarge with weight gain. Gaining a few pounds will not obscure your results, but the more weight gained, the less noticeable the liposuction results will be.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Mark Lowney for Liposuction
Dr. Lowney’s advanced approach to liposuction reduces the risk of side effects and decreases recovery time. Patients appreciate that his techniques obtain the most artistic and elegantly sculpted areas of concern.
Dr. Lowney’s liposuction is dramatically less invasive than more traditional methods due to:
- A power-assisted microcannula
- Tumescent liposuction technique
- Celluderm® post-treatment
- SmartSound post-treatment
Celluderm and SmartSound offer many additional benefits to a liposuction procedure. They help to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce water retention, and correct irregularities. This enhances lymphatic drainage for better results.
Since his approach is less invasive, patients can avoid general anesthesia, using local anesthesia in an office setting instead. By mastering the most advanced technologies and techniques in surgical body contouring, Dr. Lowney can deliver superior, natural results.
The Tumescent Liposuction Technique
Tumescent liposuction is the gold standard in surgical fat reduction and is far safer and less invasive than other methods. While conventional liposuction requires general anesthesia that puts you to sleep, the tumescent technique lets patients remain awake under local anesthesia.
With the tumescent technique, an injection comprised of lidocaine and epinephrine goes into the tissue of the treatment area.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that numbs the treatment area. Epinephrine causes tissue to swell up and become firm, making it easier to remove the cannula tube. This solution also constricts the blood vessels for less blood loss.
How the Power-Assisted Microcannula Improves Liposuction
With traditional liposuction, the cannula stabs fat deposits to break up the fatty tissue for removal from the body.
In contrast, a power-assisted microcannula requires a smaller incision and uses a vibrating tip to assist the surgeon in breaking up the fatty tissue. This provides a gentler method for breaking up the fat and ultimately delivers superior results with less downtime.
