Liposuction in Chicago: Areas and Price

Yes, it's standard practice. Treating a single area alone is rare — patients more often combine several problem zones, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and desired result.

No, liposuction does not serve for weight loss. It removes local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body. If your weight fluctuates, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

Punctures of only 3–7 mm are used, and they usually don't need stitches. After healing the marks are hardly visible; with good aftercare during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery the surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor. In good condition the skin tightens on its own, following the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No — the procedure is done under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). After surgery mild discomfort is possible; it is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

No exertion or heavy lifting during the first 7 days. Compression garments for 4–6 weeks, with the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport off the table. For at least a month, alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits. Individual recommendations are given by your surgeon after surgery.

Patients 18+ with no contraindications are eligible. There's no upper age limit, and the decision is made individually after examination and a health assessment.

Most patients return to their usual routine and work in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet is not required; still, nutrition matters if you want to keep the result. Removed fat cells never return, but remaining ones can expand when you gain weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity are our recommendation for lasting results.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medicines that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll get all instructions after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery the main swelling subsides and first changes show. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours take shape in 3–6 months.
