One of the top cosmetic procedures in the United States, liposuction offers patients the opportunity to reclaim their confidence and figure.

What do you need to know about getting the best liposuction in Washington, DC?

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction, or lipo, is a surgical procedure that utilizes a suction technique to remove fat from various areas of the body such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and neck. Liposuction contours these areas as well, allowing your surgeon to form a shapely, flattering figure.

Who is Liposuction for?

While liposuction aids in fat loss, it doesn’t aid in weight loss. Liposuction is ideal for healthy, non-smoking patients within 30% of their ideal weight and seeking to remove pockets of excess fat. To be a candidate for lipo, you should also have realistic expectations about your results.

What Are Some Tips for Successful Liposuction?

In this liposuction guide, here are a few tips and tricks for a safe, successful experience.

  • Consultation: Your consultation is the stepping stone to greatness. Be prepared to discuss your health history, goals, and cost, as well as take your “before” photos.
  • Cost: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimated in 2020 that the average for liposuction was $3,637. Talk to your surgeon about your personal cost and financing options.
  • Pre- and Post-Op: It’s important that you follow your surgeon’s instructions before liposuction and after surgery. It’s key to ensuring the best results.
  • Surgeon: Don’t go bargain hunting or settling for less. Choose a board-certified surgeon with plenty of liposuction experience. Don’t be pressured into unnecessary procedures either.
