What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
Richmond Plastic Surgeons uses the most technologically advanced equipment available, for a less invasive procedure, compared to other body sculpting solutions. A device known as a “cannula” will remove fat from the specified areas on your body, reducing your post-procedure healing process, getting you back on your feet and living your best life in no time at all.
Best of all, liposuction can be enjoyed on its own, or alongside other body sculpting procedures to refine your incredible results.

Am I the Ideal Candidate for Liposuction?
Our Richmond liposuction is best suited to those who already enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle. We’ll primarily consider your current weight and lifestyle choices, and your surgeon will guide you through the decision-making process by talking these aspects of your life over with you in detail.
While liposuction is an effective way to achieve a more toned appearance, it’s not a weight-loss solution.

What Should I Expect on The Day of My Liposuction Procedure?
Our surgeons utilize a local anesthesia, that may be coupled with a sedative, to ensure your complete safety and ideal comfort levels. In most cases, general anesthesia isn’t necessary, but every individual is different.
Your surgeon will employ what’s known as tumescent liposuction to remove unwanted fat, which involves the injection of a special solution, just under the skin. This solution helps with the removal process, which involves small incisions in the treatment area, where the fat-removing “cannula,” is inserted. The cannula then dislodges and cleanly removes any undesirable fat.

Contact UsHow Long Does Liposuction Typically Take?
Lipo procedures usually take one to three hours. Factors that can impact surgery time are:
- The size and location of the treatment area
- The amount of fat to be removed
- The degree of sculpting required, based on things like gender and anatomy
What Should I Expect After My Liposuction?
In most cases, lipo incisions don’t require sutures. We’ll wrap the area with comfortable compression bandages or garments, to manage swelling and keep the tissues in place, which you’ll need to wear for several weeks.
Most patients experience mild bruising, tenderness, discomfort, or a bit of swelling. Your surgeon will help you with everything you need to know to heal efficiently, including what kinds of activities you need to avoid, and so forth.
When Will I Notice the Results?
Immediately! As soon as your surgery is complete, you’ll notice that extra fat has been removed from the area.
As the swelling subsides over the course of about four to six months, you’ll begin to enjoy the attractive and naturally-toned results of your procedure.

We’ll talk you through everything you need to know, including the risks we mitigate by taking care to employ the most advanced technologies and procedures. These eliminate the risk for things like:

How Long Will the Results of Liposuction Last?
