Liposuction

At VedaNu Wellness, we take a highly personalized approach to every body contouring procedure. Our experienced surgical team specializes in modern liposuction techniques and will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique goals and anatomy.

From your first consultation through your full recovery, we are committed to delivering expert guidance, compassionate care, and exceptional results. Whether liposuction is your primary treatment or part of a broader surgical plan that includes a tummy tuck, breast lift, or skin tightening, we’ll ensure you feel supported and confident every step of the way.

Liposuction is one of the most trusted and effective ways to target stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise. However, it’s important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It’s designed for body contouring—not dramatic weight reduction.

Ideal candidates are generally within 30 pounds of their goal weight, lead a healthy lifestyle, and have specific areas of fat that have proven resistant to diet and exercise. Maintaining a stable weight both before and after surgery is key to long-lasting results.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you:

• Have localized areas of fat that don’t respond to exercise
• Are within 30lbs of your ideal weight
• Understand the benefits and limitations of liposuction
• Have realistic expectations about your outcome
• Do not smoke
• Are in good overall health

One of the biggest advantages of liposuction is its versatility. This procedure can be used to sculpt and slim virtually any area of the body where excess fat collects. Whether it’s under the chin, around the waist, or along the thighs, liposuction can help create smoother, more balanced contours.

At VedaNu Wellness, the most common treatment areas include:

• Face 
• Neck 
• Hips
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Knees
• Calves
• Ankles
   

During your consultation, our surgical team will develop a customized plan based on your unique anatomy and goals. In many cases, multiple areas can be treated in a single session for a more comprehensive result.

At VedaNu Wellness, we believe that every great result begins with an honest, two-way conversation. During your liposuction consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to openly discuss the areas that concern you most and share what you hope to achieve. Your provider will listen closely, answer all of your questions, and help you explore what’s possible based on your unique body and goals.

Many patients find it helpful to view before-and-after photos from previous procedures during this appointment to better understand the types of results that can be achieved. We’ll also walk you through the available treatment options and explain how each technique may apply to your anatomy.

Your consultation includes a full review of your medical history and a physical evaluation to confirm whether you’re a good candidate for liposuction. We’ll provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for surgery—and what to expect afterward—so you feel confident and supported at every stage.

If you decide to move forward, your surgeon will design a fully customized treatment plan to target your problem areas, enhance your natural contours, and help you feel your absolute best.

With so many terms floating around—“liposculpture,” “micro-lipo,” “laser lipo,” and more—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when researching liposuction. But the truth is, many of these names are simply marketing terms referring to the same foundational procedure: liposuction.

At VedaNu Wellness, we focus on proven techniques that prioritize safety, precision, and long-term results. While some practices promote laser or ultrasound-assisted liposuction for skin tightening or faster recovery, many of these claims lack strong scientific backing. In fact, some of these methods may increase risks like burns or scarring.

That’s why we specialize in unassisted tumescent liposuction, which continues to be the gold standard for safe, effective fat removal with consistent results.

Choosing the right provider is key to your outcome. Beyond flashy terminology, what truly matters is that your liposuction is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon at an accredited surgical facility. At VedaNu Wellness, your procedure will always be overseen by a skilled surgeon and a fully credentialed anesthesiology team for maximum safety and comfort.

Your treatment plan should also be tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle—not a one-size-fits-all approach. A great surgeon will help you set realistic expectations and ensure you understand what liposuction can and cannot achieve. While it’s excellent for reducing localized fat, liposuction is not a replacement for healthy habits or a solution for loose or sagging skin.

Liposuction is excellent for removing localized fat, but it doesn’t address skin laxity. For this reason, it’s commonly combined with other procedures to produce more dramatic, comprehensive results. Popular combinations include:

• Tummy tuck (to tighten abdominal skin and muscles)
• Breast lift or augmentation (to balance upper-body proportions)
• Post-weight loss surgery (to address excess skin and contouring needs)
   

Many of these procedures can be performed during the same surgical session, allowing you to recover once while achieving a full-body transformation.

During your consultation at VedaNu Wellness, your surgeon will assess whether combining procedures is right for you based on your goals, anatomy, and overall health.

The procedure begins with the injection of a tumescent solution, which helps to numb the area, reduce bleeding, and break up fat for easier removal. Your surgeon will then make small, discreet incisions and use a thin, hollow tube called a cannula to suction out the targeted fat cells. Once complete, incisions are closed and the area is dressed for healing.

If you are combining liposuction with other procedures such as a tummy tuck, we will address excess skin and tighten underlying muscles during the same session to deliver a more complete transformation.

Preparing for Liposuction

Proper preparation can make a big difference in your surgical experience and results. Once your surgery is scheduled, you’ll receive personalized pre-op instructions. Below are some general guidelines to help you get started:

• Refrain from smoking for at least one week prior to your procedure to support circulation and healing.
• Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications for two weeks unless directed otherwise.
• Review your current medications and supplements with your provider to make any necessary adjustments.
• Fill prescriptions ahead of time so they’re ready for your recovery.
• Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery.
• Use Hibiclens or an antibacterial wash during your final shower before surgery.
• On surgery day, wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing makeup, jewelry, contact lenses, wigs, or hair accessories.

Potential Risks and Complications

While liposuction is a well-established and safe procedure, it’s important to understand that, like all surgeries, it does carry some risk. Potential complications may include:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Seroma (fluid buildup)
• Irregular contours or asymmetry
• Skin laxity or rippling
• Blood clots
• Prolonged swelling or the need for revision surgery

At VedaNu Wellness, we take every precaution to minimize risks and promote a smooth recovery. During your consultation, we’ll review any risk factors specific to your health and discuss steps you can take before and after surgery to support the best possible outcome.

Recovery after liposuction will vary depending on how many areas are treated and the extent of your procedure. Most patients are able to return to work within 2 to 7 days, though you'll need to avoid strenuous activity and exercise for at least two weeks.

Some swelling, bruising, and mild soreness is completely normal in the first few days. You’ll be fitted with a surgical compression garment to reduce swelling, support healing, and help contour the area. Most patients return home the same day, accompanied by a friend or family member. If you require a personal nurse or extended recovery time at our facility, we can coordinate that as well.

To promote proper circulation and healing, we recommend taking short walks as soon as you're able—usually within 24 hours of surgery. Our team will monitor your recovery closely and provide detailed instructions on when you can safely return to physical activity and daily routines. Your healing journey is important to us, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
