LIPOSUCTION, LIPO 360 & LIPOSCULPTURE
Transform Your Body with Liposuction at Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa
Enhance Your Body Contours
Liposuction is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to refine your body contours and boost self-esteem. Even individuals in good health often struggle with localized fat deposits that disrupt their natural figure. These stubborn fat pockets are typically due to genetic factors rather than poor lifestyle choices.
Achieve a Sculpted Appearance
Liposuction works by removing excess fat from specific areas of the body, creating a more sculpted and refined appearance. This procedure enhances body shape and proportions, leading to a noticeable boost in self-image.
Target Multiple Areas
Liposuction can target various areas, including the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, waist, upper arms, back, inner thighs, male breasts (gynecomastia), cheeks, chin, neck, and calves. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other plastic surgeries, such as a facelift, breast reduction, or tummy tuck, for a comprehensive body transformation.
Not a Weight Loss Solution
It’s essential to understand that liposuction is not intended for weight loss or as a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is also not a treatment for cellulite or sagging skin.

If you’re considering liposuction, our experienced plastic surgeons at Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa can help you determine the best approach to achieve your desired results.
Understanding Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries globally, specializing in reshaping the body through fat aspiration or injection. Known by various names such as lipoHD, high definition lipo, lipo3D, lipo5K, lipomiosculpture, lipoflash, lipolaser, lipovaser, lipodefinition, lipomarking, BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), and CoolSculpting, the fundamental procedure remains consistent. These terms often refer to specific techniques or technological enhancements.
Not for Weight Loss, but for Sculpting
It’s essential to note that liposuction is not intended for weight loss; it is designed to sculpt the body. Ideal candidates typically have a maximum body mass index (BMI) of 30, classifying them as overweight or mildly obese (grade 1). Modern techniques often incorporate advanced medical equipment such as Laser, Ultrasound, Vaser, and MicroAire to enhance results.
Safe and Effective Procedure
A common aspect of all liposuction procedures is the use of a tumescent solution, which infiltrates the fat prior to extraction. This technique allows for fat separation while minimizing bleeding, making the procedure safer. Liposuction is considered one of the least invasive plastic surgery interventions, although it can be labor-intensive, leading to misuse by unqualified practitioners. When performed correctly, liposuction yields stunning results with a quick and comfortable recovery, allowing many patients to return to work or study within a week.
Complementary Fat Transfer
Fat transfer or lipoinjection to areas like the buttocks or face often accompanies liposuction. This involves processing some of the aspirated fat and grafting it into areas that require added volume. While there are limitations on the amount of fat that can be transferred, this technique can significantly enhance shape and volume. However, caution is essential; injecting large quantities of fat or placing it too deeply can lead to complications.
Personalized Consultations
If you’re considering liposuction or fat transfer, our skilled plastic surgeons can provide personalized consultations to discuss your goals and develop a tailored treatment plan for you.
TUMMY TUCK
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure for both men and women that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, thighs, arms, or back. This surgery tightens the underlying muscles to enhance the torso’s contour.
The procedure typically results in a transverse scar that extends from hip to hip, hidden under swimsuits or underwear. Some scars and stretch marks below the navel may also be eliminated with the removal of excess skin.
Women considering future pregnancies are advised to wait for tummy tuck surgery, as it may affect the results, although it does not impact fetal development. Patients who have lost significant weight often require additional lipectomy procedures for the arms, thighs, or back to address loose skin.
If you’re interested in a tummy tuck or other body contouring options, our skilled plastic surgeons can help you create a personalized treatment plan.
Before undergoing a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), it is crucial to avoid malnutrition, as this can lead to complications during and after the surgery. The average surgical duration is between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the individual case. During the procedure, an incision is made at the pubic level, concealed within the lower abdominal fold. The surgeon lifts and removes excess skin and fat while also treating the exposed muscles with sutures to enhance the abdominal contour and restore tone to the abdominal wall. Finally, the skin is sutured, and drainage tubes are placed to prevent fluid accumulation. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days.
Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. It’s important to inform your plastic surgeon about any medications you are taking (such as contraceptives and aspirin) and any medical conditions (like phlebitis, digestive disorders, or recent illnesses) that may affect the procedure. If you decide to proceed with surgery, your plastic surgeon will provide detailed pre-surgical instructions, including dietary recommendations, the avoidance of alcohol, and certain medications.
If you smoke, it’s essential to quit at least two weeks before the surgery. Additionally, you should avoid sun exposure before and after the procedure to minimize inflammation and prevent pigment accumulation in the scar. It’s important to understand that while a tummy tuck can enhance abdominal appearance, it does not address skin laxity, and you may experience further skin sagging in the future. For expert care and guidance throughout your tummy tuck journey, consult our experienced team of plastic surgeons at our Miami or Las Vegas locations.
MOMMY MAKEOVER
Transforming the Body After Pregnancy: Introducing the Mommy Makeover
The Mommy Makeover is an increasingly popular trend among new mothers, especially those inspired by international celebrities who seek to regain their pre-pregnancy body. This comprehensive plastic surgery package typically includes three procedures: mammoplasty, abdominoplasty, and liposculpture. These procedures are designed to restore breast shape and volume, achieve a flat abdomen, and sculpt the body by removing excess fat, particularly from the thighs, back, and waist.
Key Considerations for a Successful Mommy Makeover:
- Patient Conditions: Age, health, and weight must support the surgical procedures.
- Minimally Traumatic Procedures: Ensuring minimal trauma and blood loss during surgery.
- Appropriate Anesthesia: Using suitable anesthesia for longer procedures.
While many young mothers are eager to restore their pre-pregnancy anatomy, it is crucial that surgeons exercise sound judgment to avoid unnecessary risks associated with combining multiple surgeries simultaneously. Often, it is advisable to space out the procedures, allowing a few months between each intervention to ensure the safest and most effective results.
Embrace the journey to reclaim your body with a Mommy Makeover—tailored to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.
BBL - BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT
Enhance Your Curves with the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
The Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a revolutionary procedure designed to enhance the volume, shape, and lift of the buttocks using the body’s own fat. This natural technique not only creates a more sculpted and proportionate physique but also promotes a firmer, more lifted appearance.
Achieving Perfect Proportions: BBL involves fat transfer (lipotransfer), which removes fat from areas where it’s less desired—such as the abdomen, back, and inner thighs—and injects it into the buttocks. Diet and exercise alone often cannot achieve the ideal curves, making surgery a viable option for those seeking a more voluptuous silhouette.
The Procedure:
- Fat Extraction: Using liposuction, fat cells are meticulously removed from areas needing less volume. This step is crucial for body sculpting and creating symmetry.
- Fat Purification: Extracted fat cells are purified using a specialized method to ensure their viability for transfer.
- Fat Injection: Purified fat cells are injected into the buttocks with a small cannula, under local anesthesia and sedation for patient comfort. This stage is essential for achieving the desired lift and volume.
Recovery: Patients typically experience a quick recovery, returning to work within 7-10 days. However, sitting directly on the buttocks should be avoided for approximately three weeks to ensure optimal results.
For patients with significant skin laxity due to weight loss or aging, additional procedures such as lipectomy of the arms, thighs, or back may be necessary to achieve the best outcomes.
Embrace a more balanced and sculpted body with the Brazilian Butt Lift, a procedure tailored to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.
BODY LIFT
A Body Lift is a transformative surgical procedure designed to tighten and enhance the abdominal wall, improve body contour, and achieve a more sculpted physique. This surgery effectively removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, and strengthens the abdominal muscles through the plication of the rectus abdominis muscles. The result is a significantly flatter abdomen, along with improved contours of the back and buttocks. While the body lift provides dramatic improvements in body shape and contour, it is important to note that the procedure does result in a permanent circumferential scar.
