Liposuction in Sacramento: Cost and Results

Yes, it's standard practice. It is rare to treat a single area alone; patients tend to combine problem zones such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Based on your health and desired result, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation.

No. Liposuction won't make you lose weight. Its aim is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape your contours. If your weight is not stable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist beforehand.

The surgery requires punctures of only 3–7 mm, usually without stitches. After healing the marks are barely visible; with the right care during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists 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 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.

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. 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. 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.
