Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can be treated with liposuction?
Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, back, and chest. Dr. Nichols will discuss the best treatment areas for your individual needs and goals during your consultation.
Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring procedure. It's designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are at or near their ideal weight and have specific areas of concern.
Will the fat come back after liposuction?
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently gone. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. Maintaining a stable weight through diet and exercise will help preserve your results long-term.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes, liposuction is commonly combined with other procedures such as tummy tuck, breast surgery, or other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results. Dr. Nichols will discuss the best combination of procedures for your individual goals during your consultation.
What is the recovery like after liposuction?
Recovery from liposuction typically involves 1-2 weeks of rest and limited activity, with most patients returning to light activities within 2-3 weeks. You'll wear a compression garment for several weeks and should avoid heavy lifting during the initial recovery period. Complete healing and optimal results are typically achieved within 3-6 months.
