LIPOSUCTION Q & A

  • Liposuction is a minimally invasive treatment available at Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness that uses gentle suction to eliminate fat cells in problem spots. This treatment can sculpt your body, eliminating resistant fat pockets that linger despite adopting healthy lifestyle habits.

    Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness offers traditional liposuction and BodyTite body contouring, which combines liposuction with radiofrequency energy to tighten and tone lax skin. The practice also provides FaceTite technology to tighten and tone your face.

  • Liposuction available at Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness can eliminate fat pockets in the following areas:

    • Hips

    • Love handles

    • Buttocks

    • Saddlebags

    • Thighs

    • Calves

    • Breasts (gynecomastia)

    • Ankles

    • Back

    • Neck

    • Arms

    • Abdomen

    • Back

    • Hips

    The Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness team may combine liposuction with other procedures to help you attain your aesthetic goals.

  • Liposuction is designed for people who maintain an ideal weight but still have bothersome fat pockets. To determine which treatment you’re a candidate for, the Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness team completes a physical exam, reviews your medical history, and discusses your goals. Liposuction can help you meet your cosmetic goals and regain your confidence.

    If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness discusses weight-loss options with you, including weight-loss surgery.

  • Liposuction at Thrive Medical Spa & Wellness gently removes fat cells from your body. Your provider numbs the area, inserts a tiny cannula (hollow tube), and suctions out any excess fat. Doing so creates desirable body contours and is safe, effective, and permanent if you maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

  • After liposuction, you may have temporary discomfort, swelling, or redness at the treatment site. Take over-the-counter pain medicine to eliminate any post-procedure pain. You can typically return to work after a few days, depending on the physical demands of your job.

    Wear compression garments all of the time the first week after liposuction, followed by wearing the garments 12 hours a day during the next several weeks. Compression minimizes swelling and enhances skin contraction. Scarring is minimal; any scars that remain typically disappear within several months.

  • Liposuction improves contours but is not a cellulite treatment. We offer complementary therapies like radiofrequency (e.g., Morpheus8) for cellulite reduction.

  • No. Liposuction is for body contouring, not significant weight reduction. It targets localized fat deposits (e.g., love handles or belly pooch) rather than treating obesity. Most patients remove 1-5 liters of fat per session.


  • Discomfort is typically mild to moderate. We use local anesthesia or IV sedation for comfort. Post-procedure soreness (similar to a strenuous workout) lasts 3-7 days, managed with prescribed medications.


  • Yes, treated fat cells are permanently removed. However, weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells. Maintain results with a stable weight through healthy lifestyle habits.

  • Traditional (Tumescent): Uses fluid injection to loosen fat before removal.

    Laser-Assisted (SmartLipo™): Laser liquefies fat and tightens skin simultaneously. Thrive often combines both for optimal sculpting and skin retraction.

  • Initial improvements appear at 3-4 weeks as swelling subsides

    Final results emerge gradually over 3-6 months as skin fully retracts

  • Fat cannot regenerate in treated areas. However, significant weight gain may cause new fat deposits in untreated zones. We recommend maintaining a stable weight.

  • Incisions are 3-5mm (size of a pencil tip). They fade significantly and are strategically placed in natural creases for minimal visibility.
