Medical studies continue to prove that a majority of Americans are struggling to achieve their ideal figures. When you have tried dieting and exercise only to be met with failure and disappointment, you may wonder what other methods you can use to contour your body and lose fat deposits. Find out if liposuction is right for you by discovering how this procedure is done and who can be considered for treatment.
What is Liposuction?
This is a cosmetic procedure that is done almost entirely on an outpatient basis. It involves the use of specialized techniques, and these techniques have only advanced over time. Fat deposits are skillfully removed from the body during the procedure.
This procedure can be done one of various ways depending on how much fat you want to be removed and other factors. The basic types of liposuction are:
- Tumescent
- Ultrasound-assisted
- Laser-assisted
With tumescent lipo, a local anesthetic as well as lidocaine and epinephrine are used in the areas being treated before removing the fat. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses ultrasound technology to turn the fat into liquid. Laser-assisted liposuction utilizes laser energy to liquefy the fat deposits. This type of liposuction can be done on various parts of your body.
Candidacy for Liposuction
Our surgeon will not perform liposuction on just any patient. You must meet specific criteria before being approved for this procedure. Generally speaking, in order to qualify for this procedure, you must:
- Be at or close to your ideal body weight
- Have firm and elastic skin
- Have good muscle tone
- Be healthy with no life-threatening illnesses that could compromise healing
- Be a nonsmoker or be willing to quit smoking for a set time before and after the procedure
- Have a positive outlook on life and specific goals regarding body contouring
If you meet these criteria, you may be allowed to go through one of the available lipo procedures.
What About Recovery?
As mentioned, liposuction is done on an outpatient basis in most cases. After your procedure, you will be allowed to return home as long as you are stable and cleared to leave. Since this is a surgical procedure, a recovery period is required. It’s important to follow our team’s instructions during this time for an optimal outcome.
Talk to Our Surgeon
Liposuction can be a viable body contouring treatment if you have not been successful with dieting and exercising. You can determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure by learning more during a consultation at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago. Contact us today to book your appointment and get started!

Maureen is exceptional at what she does. When I first started lazer, she relaxed me and described the process. Each time I come, she makes me feel at ease and carries on conversation during the process so it is not as painful. I would love to continue seeing her for other services.
