Liposuction in New South Memphis: Cost and Results

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.

Assessing skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery is something the surgeon always does. Skin in good condition tightens naturally to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

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 physical exertion or lifting heavy things for the first 7 days. Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks and stay away from the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Avoid alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. After surgery your surgeon gives you 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 but leaves unchanged the skin structure causing cellulite. Nevertheless, improved body contours visibly lessen its appearance.

In 7–10 days most patients return to work and their normal routine. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5, and the final result forms in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet isn't necessary, though nutrition is important to maintain the result. The fat cells removed won't return, but those left can enlarge if you put on weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity keep the result lasting.

Yes. 7–10 days ahead of liposuction you stop smoking, alcohol and blood-clotting medications such as aspirin. You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, an ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and an anesthesiologist. Full instructions come 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.
