What Exactly Is Liposuction?
A cosmetic surgery procedure, liposuction removes excess fat deposits that sit between your muscles and your skin. Specific areas of the body are targeted to improve your body contours, resulting in cleaner lines and a more fine-tuned appearance. Once your procedure is complete, you’ll enjoy a shapelier figure and a renewed sense of confidence in your looks.
Recovery After Your Lipo Procedure
Although every patient is different, most are generally ready to return to a light activity schedule a few days after their procedure. Any stitches will be removed within the first week, and more involved activities can be resumed a few short weeks later. At first, to help reduce swelling, patients will wear a compression garment as the body heals. We’ll give you a detailed recovery timeline and thorough aftercare instructions before your procedure.

How much is Liposuction in Orange County?
Starting Cost of Liposuction at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach is $3,600 for the first area, and $2,100 per area thereafter. Your cost will vary based on the number of areas being treated, the size of the areas being treated, the amount of fat being removed, and if you’ve had liposuction before.
We also offer up to 24-month financing options to help our patients pay off the cost of their procedure over time. In just minutes, you can apply here to see what you are pre-qualified for before your consultation.
How long will Liposuction results last?
For optimal, long-lasting results of liposuction, we recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This should include eating healthy and working out once cleared by your surgeon post-procedure.
When any amount of weight is gained after liposuction, it’s common to see a redistribution of fat – with new fat cells developing – in other areas of the body and can affect the treated area(s) as well. In most cases, even with slight weight gain, the treated area(s) will still look better than before liposuction.
Is liposuction a good way to lose weight? Should I lose weight before getting Liposuction?
Liposuction is not meant to be a “weight-loss” procedure but rather to help reshape and contour the treated area(s). We recommend patients be at or within 10 to 15 lbs. of their goal weight before liposuction surgery, treating the stubborn, unresponsive fat cells to help eliminate them.
What other procedures are typically combined with liposuction?
Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck as part of a Mommy Makeover is the most popular combo procedure.
When will I see Liposuction results?
Improved body contour can be noticed immediately in some patients, especially when treating saddlebags. However, swelling will improve dramatically after six weeks and continue to dissipate over the next six months. After which, you’ll continue healing for up to a year – which is when 100% results are realized.
Are there different kinds of Lipo?
Yes, liposuction is most often performed in one of three ways:
- Tumescent Lipo allows for larger amounts of fat removal, with less bruising and swelling than traditional methods.
- Ultrasonic-Assisted Lipo (UAL) utilizes sound waves to break up and liquefy fat deposits in trouble spots.
- Power-Assisted Lipo (PAL) allows deeper tissue penetration through the use of a vibrating surgical wand.
Is Lipo like weight loss?
Although liposuction does even out your shape, it is not a replacement for a healthful diet and regular exercise. Liposuction is designed for patients who already enjoy a healthy lifestyle, yet are struggling with a few remaining fat deposits. Lipo is a toning procedure, not a weight loss alternative.
Does Liposuction permanently remove fat?
While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, remaining fat cells can expand, or new ones can form if you gain weight.
Is Liposuction better than a Tummy Tuck?
Each procedure solves different concerns:
- Liposuction removes fat cells but needs good skin elasticity for optimal results.
- Tummy tuck removes skin and fat, making this a good option for saggy belly and skin often associated with post-childbearing.
Is Liposuction better than CoolSculpting for fat removal?
This comes down to two main things:
- Surgical vs. Non-Surgical
- Spot Treatment vs. Larger Area
Liposuction is a popular surgical procedure that can remove small to larger volumes of excess fat. CoolSculpting is a popular non-surgical treatment that exclusively spot-treats small areas of concentrated fat cells.
When considering each, note that patients that have opted for the non-surgical route often require multiple treatments spaced out over time and rarely see as dramatic of results compared to what one Liposuction procedure can achieve.
Will insurance cover Liposuction?
Liposuction surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure, so insurance typically doesn’t cover this.
If cost is of concern, we offer financing options to help our patients pay off the cost of their procedure over time. In just minutes, you can apply here to see what you are pre-qualified for before your consultation.
Where Is Liposuction most effective?
Popular sculpting areas women often choose are the neck, arms, abdomen, thighs and hips. Male patients typically want to improve the appearance of the love handles, abdomen, chin and neck areas. During an initial consultation, our surgical team works with you to determine which fat deposits to eliminate for ideal results.
Is there scarring?
Since the surgical wand used during the procedure is quite small, only a few very tiny incisions are needed. Physical appearance will be toned and natural-looking in patients with good skin elasticity. It’s our goal to keep scarring to an absolute minimum.
