Are You a Good Liposuction Candidate?
Liposuction is a powerful tool for refinement, not a method for weight loss. Ideal liposuction candidates …
- Are in good overall health and at or near their target body weight.
- Have good muscle tone and firm, elastic skin.
- Struggle with localized fat deposits in specific areas.
- Have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.
During your consultation, our board-certified surgeons will conduct a thorough evaluation to confirm if liposuction is the right choice to meet your aesthetic goals.
What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
One of the greatest benefits of liposuction is its versatility. At our Oak Brook institute, we can use liposuction to sculpt and refine nearly any area of the body. Our most common treatment areas include:
Abdomen and Waist:
To create a flatter stomach and a more defined waistline.
Hips and Thighs:
To reduce “saddlebags” and create leaner legs.
Arms:
To address “bat wings” and achieve slimmer, more toned upper arms.
Back:
To eliminate bra rolls and smooth contours.
Chin and Neck:
For a more defined jawline and to reduce a “double chin” through chin liposuction.
Breasts:
As part of a breast reduction or to refine the shape of your breasts.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques in Oak Brook, IL
The “Lipo Doc” team, led by founder Dr. Leon Forrester Tcheupdjian, has been at the forefront of liposuction surgery since 1981. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we offer a suite of advanced technologies to ensure your treatment is perfectly tailored to your body and goals.
Our liposuction methods include the following advanced techniques:
Tumescent Liposuction:
The gold standard for safety and effectiveness, this technique minimizes discomfort and bruising.
MicroAire® Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
This gentle, precise method uses a vibrating cannula to efficiently break up and remove fat, resulting in a quicker procedure and smoother results. Learn more about MicroAire®.
VASER LipoSelection:
An ultrasound-based technology that liquefies fat before removal, ideal for fibrous areas and minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue.
Liposculpture and Fat Transfer:
Go beyond fat removal. We can use your own purified fat to enhance other areas, such as the buttocks or face, for truly comprehensive body contouring and fat transfer.
Your Liposuction Journey: What to Expect
1. The Consultation:
Your journey begins with a private meeting with one of our expert surgeons. We will listen to your goals, assess your problem areas, and recommend the ideal treatment plan for you.
2. The Procedure:
Performed in our state-of-the-art surgical facility, the procedure involves making tiny, discreet incisions. A thin tube called a cannula is used to gently suction out the targeted fat cells permanently.
3. Recovery:
Recovery time varies, but most patients are back to work within a few days to three weeks. You will wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. While some swelling and bruising are normal, they will subside over the following weeks.
4. The Results
You will notice a change almost immediately. As swelling diminishes over the next 4-6 weeks, your new, slimmer shape will become more apparent. Final, stunning results are typically visible within 3-6 months and can last a lifetime with a stable weight.
