Understanding Liposuction
Liposuction is a procedure to remove localized fat deposits through a small hollow tube (cannula) connected to a vacuum device. It’s not a weight loss procedure; it’s a body sculpting technique designed to refine your silhouette by targeting specific problem areas.
Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or more dramatic contouring, Dr. Vasisht creates personalized treatment plans that honor your unique body structure and aesthetic goals. This transformative procedure can address various concerns:
- Disproportionate body contours that affect clothing fit
- Localized fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and neck
- Double chin or fullness beneath the jaw
- Desire for more defined body contours and improved proportions
Customized Liposuction Options
Every aspect of your liposuction procedure is carefully customized to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Vasisht will help you explore these important options:
Liposuction Techniques
Tumescent Liposuction: The gold standard technique, where a solution containing saline, lidocaine (anesthetic) and epinephrine (to reduce bleeding) is injected into the treatment area before fat removal, allowing for more comfortable and precise fat extraction.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Uses a specialized cannula that moves back and forth rapidly, allowing for more efficient fat removal with less trauma to surrounding tissues and reduced surgeon fatigue, resulting in more precise body contouring.
VASER Liposuction: Employs ultrasound technology to break up fat cells before removal, particularly effective for fibrous areas and creating enhanced definition, such as abdominal etching.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal, potentially offering skin-tightening benefits and fat reduction.
Treatment Areas
Abdomen: Removes stubborn fat deposits from the upper and lower abdomen, creating a flatter, more toned appearance.
Flanks (Love Handles): Eliminates bulges around the waistline for smoother contours and better-fitting clothes.
Thighs: Targets inner thigh, outer thigh or circumferential thigh fat to create more proportionate and streamlined legs.
Arms: Reduces unwanted fat in the upper arms, creating more defined and toned-looking limbs.
Back: Addresses rolls and bulges along the upper and mid-back for a smoother silhouette.
Chin and Neck: Removes submental fat to define the jawline and improve facial profile.
Male Chest: Reduces excess fat in the chest area for men affected by pseudogynecomastia.
Knees, Calves and Ankles: Refines the lower body for more proportionate and shapely legs.
Enhanced Contouring Options
360° Liposuction: Comprehensive approach that treats the entire midsection—front, sides and back—in one procedure for harmonious, all-around results.
High-Definition Liposuction: Advanced technique that not only removes fat but strategically sculpts to enhance natural muscle definition, popular for athletic-looking results.
Fat Transfer: Combines liposuction with fat grafting to add volume to other areas like the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift) for comprehensive body contouring.
Your Liposuction Journey
Consultation
During your comprehensive consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Discuss your aesthetic goals and areas of concern in detail
- Receive a thorough physical assessment and personalized recommendations
- View before and after photos of Dr. Vasisht’s previous liposuction patients
- Learn about different liposuction techniques and their suitability for your specific needs
- Get detailed information about recovery timelines and expected outcomes

Procedure
Your liposuction procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery at our state-of-the-art Centennial Surgery Center or a trusted hospital facility. Depending on the extent of your treatment areas, the procedure usually takes 1-3 hours and may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Dr. Vasisht begins by making tiny incisions (usually 3-5mm) in discreet locations near the treatment areas. After infiltrating the tumescent solution, he carefully inserts the cannula and uses precise movements to target and remove fat deposits while sculpting the area to create natural-looking contours. The incisions are so small that they typically heal with minimal scarring.
Recovery
First 24-48 Hours: Expect some swelling, bruising and drainage from incision sites. You’ll wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the newly contoured areas.
First Week: Most patients can return to light activities and desk jobs within a few days, though strenuous activities should be avoided.
Weeks 2-3: Most swelling and bruising subsides, and you’ll begin to see your new contours emerging.
4-6 Weeks: Continue wearing compression garments as directed. Most patients can resume normal activities, including moderate exercise.
3-6 Months: Final results become apparent as all swelling resolves and tissues adapt to their new contours.
Dr. Vasisht provides detailed post-operative instructions and remains available throughout your recovery to address any concerns. Our team is committed to ensuring your comfort and satisfaction from consultation through recovery.
Results
Immediate: Some improvements are visible immediately, though initially masked by swelling.
1-3 Months: As swelling subsides, your new contours become increasingly apparent.
6 Months: Final results emerge as all swelling resolves and tissues settle.
Long-term: With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, liposuction results can be permanent, as the fat cells removed do not regenerate.

What Our Patients Say
Alexis S
“I cannot say enough positive things about the overall experience I had with South Shore Plastic Surgery. Currently, I am two and a half months post-op after having liposuction… and I am thrilled with my results. Dr. Vasisht took his time to explain all aspects of the procedure, as well as, requested insight into what I was truly wishing to accomplish with the body transformation as he wanted to ensure my expectations were within a reality he was capable of providing. I can tell you… He knocked it out of the park! My recovery was a breeze, and my only regret is not having the procedure completed sooner!!”
Michelle L
“Dr. Vasisht takes his time to explain the benefits of the treatment/s of your choice, answers any questions you may have and educates you about your body, mind and spirit to keep you looking and feeling great. He keeps you looking natural by not over doing it. Knowing and trusting I am in the best hands, I travel 45 minutes to an hour to have him as my doctor. I love that Dr. V and his staff treat me as family.”
Lynn W
“From the moment I walked in for my procedure to the moment I left I was treated kindly and gently and was given the information that I needed. Dr. V and his staff are so accommodating and made me feel very relaxed as this was the first time I had ever had any kind of procedure done. As an RN and former OR Director I realize that these things are very important. It’s not just the technical side of his ability which is outstanding, it’s also the entire manner in which he conducts himself and the way that his staff conducts themselves as well. I highly recommend having a procedure at his lovely office.”
