Liposuction in Jacksonville: Price and Techniques

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 a weight-loss method. Its purpose is to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, 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. Anesthesia — local or general depending on the scope — is used for the procedure. After surgery you might feel mild discomfort, which is relieved with painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

First 7 days — no physical effort or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks — compression garments and no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least one month without alcohol and tanning beds. After surgery, your surgeon will give all individual recommendations.

The surgery is for patients aged 18+ without contraindications. As for an upper limit, there is none: we decide individually after an examination and health check.

Not directly. It removes fat tissue without changing the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved contours make cellulite visibly less noticeable.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

There's no need for a strict diet, but nutrition is key to keeping the result. Removed fat cells stay gone; the remaining cells, however, can grow if you gain weight. For a long-lasting result, keep a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll receive 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.
