Transform Your Body with Advanced Liposuction

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that permanently removes localized fat deposits through small, strategically placed incisions. Unlike weight loss methods that shrink existing fat cells, liposuction physically removes these cells from your body for good.  Our advanced liposuction techniques at Chicago Breast and Body permanently remove unwanted fat cells, creating smoother contours and more balanced body proportions.

Liposuction might be appropriate for you if:

  • You maintain a stable weight within 30% of your ideal body weight or have a BMI of 32 or less.
  • You have good skin elasticity and muscle tone
  • You have specific areas of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise
  • You're in good overall health with no conditions that impair healing
  • You don't smoke or are willing to quit before surgery
  • You have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve

During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific concerns and determine whether liposuction is the right solution for your goals.

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that permanently removes localized fat deposits through small, strategically placed incisions. Unlike weight loss methods that shrink existing fat cells, liposuction physically removes these cells from your body, resulting in improved proportions and contours.

Modern liposuction techniques have evolved significantly since the procedure was first introduced. At Chicago Breast and Body, we utilize the latest advancements including:

  • Tumescent liposuction: Involves injecting a solution that reduces bleeding and discomfort
  • Power-assisted liposuction: Uses vibration to enhance fat removal with less physical exertion
  • Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: Employs sound waves to break down fat cells before removal
  • Laser-assisted liposuction: Utilizes laser energy to liquefy fat for easier extraction

Each technique offers specific advantages, and our board-certified surgeons will recommend the most appropriate method based on your unique needs during your consultation.

What to expect During Liposuction

On the day of your procedure:

  1. The treatment areas are marked while you're standing to ensure proper contouring
  2. Appropriate anesthesia is administered (local or general, depending on extent)
  3. Small incisions (typically 3-5mm) are made in inconspicuous locations
  4. A cannula (thin tube) is inserted to break up and remove unwanted fat
  5. Incisions are closed with small sutures
  6. Compression garments are applied to minimize swelling and support healing tissues

Most procedures take between 1-4 hours, depending on the number and size of treatment areas.

Maintaining your new Contours

Liposuction permanently removes treated fat cells, but maintaining your results requires ongoing commitment to a healthy lifestyle. To maximize your long-term results:

  • Follow a balanced, nutritious diet
  • Engage in regular physical activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly)
  • Stay properly hydrated
  • Maintain a stable weight
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments

Remember that significant weight gain after liposuction can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, potentially affecting your results. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on post-procedure care to help you maintain your new contours for years to come.
