Our surgeons regularly perform liposuction on multiple areas at one time. The specifics depend on a variety of factors including the patient’s health, number of areas being treated, and the overall fat removal goal. Patients who have several large areas in need of treatment, such as people who have lost a lot of weight through bariatric surgery, will need to have their liposuction performed in stages. The surgeon may focus on the upper body in one procedure and the lower body in a second procedure after the patient has recovered from the first procedure. At our practice, the top priorities are always the patient’s safety and well-being.
