What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to break up and remove unwanted fat from targeted areas of the body. Despite a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise, some areas of the body can retain fat that resists these efforts. Liposuction effectively removes these fat cells, reshaping and defining the treated areas for a slimmer, more proportionate appearance.
Dr. Amaka takes a personalized approach to liposuction, working closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with their aesthetic goals.

What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?

Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can address a wide range of areas, including:

  • Abdomen
  • Hips (love handles)
  • Thighs (inner and outer)
  • Back
  • Arms
  • Neck and chin
  • Buttocks
  • Flanks

If you’re looking to target multiple areas or enhance your results with additional procedures, Dr. Amaka can recommend complementary treatments such as a tummy tuck or fat transfer.

How is the Liposuction Procedure Performed?

Liposuction is typically performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat being removed. Dr. Amaka begins by making small, discreet incisions that are well-concealed—for example, in the pubic area for abdominal liposuction and the posterior elbow for arm liposuction. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted through the incision(s) to loosen fat cells, which are suctioned out using a specialized vacuum device.
Amaka Aesthetics employs advanced liposuction techniques that minimize discomfort, reduce recovery time, and enhance precision for natural-looking results. Most procedures take a few hours, and patients can typically return home the same day.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

The cost of liposuction varies based on factors such as the number of areas treated, the volume of fat being removed, and the complexity of the procedure. During your consultation at Amaka Aesthetics, Dr. Amaka will provide you with a personalized cost estimate and review your options for payment and financing.
