Do you struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise? Are these fat deposits keeping you from attaining the sculpted physique you desire?Liposuction is a highly effective body contouring procedure that targets excess fat in localized areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, love handles, buttocks, back, and neck. This technology can be used to target large areas of fat or “spot reduce” specific areas for increased definition and contour.
Dr. F. Jorge Gonzalez is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Orlando, Florida, offering a wide range of options, including traditional, tumescent, laser-assisted, and high-definition liposuction.
Generally, liposuction offers substantial results to candidates who are close to their ideal body weight. It is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a treatment that helps transform bulging, fatty areas into more attractive, sculpted contours.
There is a limit to the amount of fat liposuction can remove safely.
Additionally, patients should have good skin elasticity; otherwise, they may require an additional skin tightening treatment to correct sagging skin. A good candidate for liposuction should also be in good overall health and have realistic expectations of the surgery’s outcome.
A consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine if the procedure is right for you.
Dr. Gonzalez offers several liposuction choices, including:
Dr. Gonzalez can customize this approach for women and men to deliver the appearance of both feminine and masculine muscle definition in the abs, arms, buttocks, thighs, and back. High-definition lipo often uses VASER® liposuction techniques, which offer ultrasound technology to liquefy fat and skin tightening features to improve laxity. General anesthesia is typically used for this procedure.

Traditional liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure, usually under general anesthesia. A small (barely visible) incision is made in the targeted area, and a device called a cannula is inserted into the incision to suction out the fat. The entire procedure may take several hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed and the number of treatment areas.
Newer liposuction techniques, like tumescent and laser liposuction, are usually safer and more effective, involving less recovery than older, more traditional liposuction techniques. Improvement is due to these methods making fat removal easier and causing less trauma during the procedure.
With high-definition liposuction, Dr. Gonzalez will remove excess fat while emphasizing muscles to produce a chiseled and fit appearance.
Liposuction recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to physically undemanding jobs within a few days. How quickly someone recovers will depend on the type of liposuction surgery performed and the extent of the procedure.
You will be instructed to wear a compression garment during recovery. Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and pain are to be expected, but this will subside steadily over time. Pain medication can be prescribed to minimize any post-operative discomfort. Following instructions for aftercare as provided by Dr. Gonzalez is essential, and this compliance will ensure optimal healing and satisfactory results.
Patients will notice a more appealing body contour that progressively improves as swelling and bruising subsides.
If receiving hi-def lipo, you can expect well-enhanced definition in the treated areas.
Liposuction results are intended to be permanent as long as the patient maintains a healthy and active lifestyle.
Gaining significant weight after the treatment will impact your liposuction results. Therefore, patients are advised to exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, and maintain a stable weight after the procedure.

The cost of your liposuction treatment will vary depending on the method you choose, the number of treatment areas, and the size of those areas. Additional cost factors will include anesthesia, facility, surgeon fees, and any combination procedures performed simultaneously.
Dr. Gonzalez and his team will provide you with an accurate cost estimate during your consultation.
People are born with a set amount of fat cells in their bodies, which can grow and diminish in size, but not in number. When you lose weight through natural methods, the fat cells in your body shrink; however, they do not disappear. Liposuction permanently removes the fat cells from your body.
While traditional liposuction removes fat and enhances contours, it cannot remove or significantly tighten sagging or loose skin. If you have previously lost a significant amount of weight, you may require skin removal surgery, such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), thigh lift (thighplasty), or arm lift (brachioplasty).
For comprehensive body recontouring, women may want to combine their liposuction procedure with breast enhancement surgery for a Mommy Makeover, and men can choose to add surgery to correct gynecomastia.
