Revealing Your New Silhouette with Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes localized fat deposits to reshape and contour specific areas of the body. Designed to target stubborn fat that diet and exercise alone cannot eliminate, liposuction can provide long-lasting improvement to body proportions and definition—and help you boost your confidence to new heights. Common treatment areas include:

  • Abdomen & Waist: Refine your midsection for a more sculpted waistline.
  • Hips & Flanks: Smooth out "love handles" or "hip dips" and enhance natural curves.
  • Thighs: Contour the inner and outer thighs for a leaner look.
  • Arms: Remove excess fat for toned, defined upper arms.
  • Back & Bra Rolls: Achieve a smoother, more contoured back profile.
  • Neck & Chin: Reduce fullness under the chin for a more sculpted jawline.

At Galanis Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills and at the Nashville satellite office, each liposuction procedure is customized by Dr. Galanis to the patient's body and goals, ensuring beautifully refined results that enhance natural proportions and bring out your best.

The Galanis Approach to Liposuction

At Galanis Plastic Surgery, we take a tailored approach to body contouring. Dr. Galanis carefully assesses each patient’s unique anatomy, goals, and skin elasticity before designing a personalized treatment plan. Using state-of-the-art liposuction techniques, he delivers results that are natural, balanced, and long-lasting. We offer:

Tumescent Liposuction

The gold standard in liposuction uses a specialized fluid to minimize discomfort and bleeding while allowing for precise fat removal.

VASER High-Definition Liposuction

This advanced ultrasound-assisted technique is designed to sculpt athletic muscle definition for a highly contoured, lean look.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

Vibrating cannulas can help gently break up fat for a smoother contour and quicker recovery.

Radiofrequency-based tissue tightening with Renuvion

A probe inserted under the skin after liposuction stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling to optimize tissue retraction.

During your consultation, Dr. Galanis will take time to understand your goals and determine the best technique for your body. His highest priority is always your comfort, safety and lasting results. We want you to look and feel refined, sculpted, and assured for years and years to come.

What to Expect from Your Recovery—and Results

Your Recovery Timeline:  

  • Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll return home on the same day.
  • Mild swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks.
  • Compression garment worn for 6 weeks to support healing and optimize results.
  • Light activity encouraged within 24 hours; no strenuous exercise for 4weeks.
  • Most patients return to work within 2-7 days, depending on the extent of treatment.
  • While initial results are noticeable immediately, your final, lasting results will emerge over 3-6 months as your swelling gradually subsides.

The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated, meaning your new contours are long-lasting and that fat can never return. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to help preserve your sculpted shape for the long term.

Liposuction FAQ

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

Liposuction is ideal for individuals close to their target weight who struggle with localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Good skin elasticity is also important for achieving smooth, natural-looking results.

What areas of the body can be treated with liposuction?

Dr. Galanis commonly performs liposuction on the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, back, neck, and under the chin. Each procedure is fully customized based on your anatomy and goals.

What’s the difference between traditional liposuction and VASER liposuction?

Traditional tumescent liposuction removes fat through suction after infusing a special solution. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break up fat more precisely, ideal for high-definition sculpting and revealing muscle tone.

Will liposuction help me lose weight?

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It is designed to remove targeted fat and contour the body. Most patients lose inches, not pounds, but gain a more sculpted and proportionate silhouette.

How long is the recovery after liposuction?

Most patients return to work within 2–7 days. Swelling and bruising typically subside over 1–2 weeks, with compression garments worn for 6 weeks. Final results are visible around 3–6 months post-procedure.

Are the results of liposuction permanent?

Yes, the fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently gone. However, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is key to preserving your new contours and preventing weight gain in untreated areas.

Will I have loose skin after liposuction?

Patients with good skin elasticity usually experience smooth results. For those with mild laxity, Dr. Galanis may recommend adding Renuvion radiofrequency skin tightening to enhance tissue retraction and firmness.
