Body Contouring with Liposuction in Indianapolis

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 is not for losing weight. Its purpose is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape the contours of the body. If your weight keeps changing, first consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The surgeon works through punctures only 3–7 mm across — usually no stitches needed. When they heal, the marks are barely visible, and proper care during recovery makes them 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, you are under anesthesia during the procedure — local or general, depending on the scope. After surgery there may be mild discomfort, relieved by painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

Avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting for the first 7 days. For 4–6 weeks you wear compression garments and skip the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are ruled out for at least a month. The surgeon gives personal recommendations after the operation.

We carry out the surgery for patients 18+ with no contraindications. An upper age limit does not exist — each case is decided individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Liposuction deals with fat tissue, not with the skin structure behind cellulite. Still, better body contours make it visibly less apparent.

Most people resume their routine and work in 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling go by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, when the tissues have adapted fully.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. Stop smoking, alcohol and medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests are also needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and anesthesiologist. All instructions are given after your first consultation.

Changes start to show 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling has gone. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed, and in 3–6 months the final contours form.
