Liposuction
Liposuction in Bedford, NH
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to reshape and slim the body’s contours. Dr. Steven L. Brown, a board-certified plastic surgeon, performs liposuction for patients from Bedford, Manchester, and across southern New Hampshire.
Areas Liposuction Can Treat
Liposuction is commonly used on the abdomen, waist, thighs, chest, back, hips, buttocks, and neck. It works best for adults near their goal weight who have stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise and who have good skin elasticity. Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a treatment for weight loss or loose skin.
About the Procedure
Dr. Brown uses a tumescent technique, infusing a solution that helps break down fat and minimize bruising, followed by power-assisted liposuction to liquefy and remove fat through small incisions. The procedure is performed under anesthesia at the Bedford Ambulatory Surgical Center, with an overnight-stay option available for procedures that call for it.
Recovery and Results
Patients wear a compression garment during recovery. Bruising and swelling are common at first, and many patients return to work within several days to a week, depending on the areas treated. Final contouring results typically appear over 3-5 months as swelling resolves.
Liposuction FAQs
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Liposuction reshapes specific areas by removing localized fat. It is best suited to patients who are already near a healthy, stable weight.
What areas can be treated with liposuction?
Common areas include the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, back, chest, buttocks, and neck. More than one area can often be treated in the same procedure.
Will the fat come back after liposuction?
The fat cells removed do not return. Maintaining a stable weight with healthy habits helps preserve your results.
How long is recovery after liposuction?
Many patients return to work within several days to a week. A compression garment is worn during healing, and final results appear over 3-5 months as swelling resolves.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Liposuction is frequently combined with a tummy tuck, arm lift, or other body contouring procedures.
