Liposuction is one of the most effective and time-tested procedures for removing stubborn fat and refining body contours. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many people struggle with localized fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise. At Finesse Plastic Surgery, Dr. West performs precision liposuction to create smooth, sculpted, and beautifully natural results.
Liposuction is ideal for contouring areas where fat is resistant to traditional weight-loss methods. It's a shaping procedure—not a weight-loss surgery. Common reasons patients choose liposuction include stubborn fat despite diet and exercise, desire for a slimmer waistline, post-pregnancy body changes, refinement after weight loss, and enhancing results of tummy tuck or Mommy Makeover.
Liposuction restores proportion and creates a more sculpted, streamlined silhouette.
Liposuction may be right for you if:
• You have stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
• Your weight is stable
• Your skin has good elasticity
• You want improved shape—not major weight loss
• You are in good overall health
During your consultation, Dr. West will determine whether liposuction alone—or combined with other procedures—is best for achieving your goals.
During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals and ideal shape.
• Areas you want to slim or contour
• Skin elasticity and firmness
• Whether to combine with skin-tightening or tummy tuck
A physical exam and photographs help guide your personalized approach.
Liposuction is highly versatile and can be performed on almost any area where unwanted fat collects:
Treatment areas are tailored to your anatomy and desired results.
Dr. West uses advanced methods to ensure safe, smooth, and refined results:
Liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Ensures comfort throughout the procedure.
A specialized solution reduces bleeding, numbs tissues, and allows smooth fat removal.
Small, hidden incisions allow insertion of a thin cannula that gently removes fat.
Dr. West focuses on natural contouring, smooth transitions, and beautiful proportions.
Recovery depends on the number of areas treated but is generally quick. Most patients experience:
• Soreness similar to a strong workout for several days
• Return to desk work in 2–5 days
• Compression garment for 4–6 weeks
• Light exercise at 2 weeks
• Full activity at 4–6 weeks
• Continued refinement for 3–6 months
Results are long-lasting when paired with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
