Contact UsWhat is liposuction?
Despite how much you diet and exercise, you may still have stubborn pockets of fat that prevent you from feeling completely confident in how you look. VIP Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV offers advanced methods of fat reduction to effectively rid fatty tissues from certain body parts. Surgical liposuction is a body contouring treatment that reduces fat from areas, like a double chin, abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks, to create a more defined appearance. This cosmetic procedure at VIP Plastic Surgery can be combined with other surgeries and can treat several areas at a time. Even though lipo slims and reshapes certain body contours, it is not designed to remove cellulite or as a means for weight loss.
In a private consultation, Dr. Khorsandi will assess the areas of concern, ask questions about personal goals, and determine if a surgical fat reduction is what is needed to accomplish those goals.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction?
When a patient consults with Dr. Khorsandi for liposuction, he will look for certain qualities that would make him/her a good candidate, including
- Realistic expectations regarding the procedure
- An average or slightly above average weight
- Good overall health
- Firm, elastic skin
Patients who have cellulite are generally not good candidates because liposuction may worsen the irregularities by creating deeper dimples. Liposuction can be used in several areas of the body, such as the:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Cheeks
- Chest
- Hips
- Jowls
- Neck
- Inner knee
- Lower back
- Thighs
There is a consultation process in place for Dr. Khorsandi to assess the patient and make recommendations based on those findings.
The Liposuction Surgical Technique
Our patients at VIP Plastic Surgery can have surgical liposuction performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. A special fluid (containing epinephrine and anesthetic) is injected into the fatty tissue to minimize pain and bleeding. Small incisions will be made in easy-to-conceal areas, such as the waistline or belly button, for a cannula to be inserted. The cannula is a long, tube-shaped medical instrument that will assist Dr. Khorsandi as he manually works the fat loose and suctions it out. After the fat deposits have been removed, Dr. Khorsandi will close the small incision. Depending on the number of sections treated, liposuction may last several hours. On average, each body part (i.e. tummy, thighs, etc.) will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. In the dedicated recovery room, our post-op nurses will monitor and manage pain, care for the incisions, give detailed at-home instructions, and more until discharge.
Dr. Khorsandi has experience in various liposuction techniques, including tumescent, ultrasonic, SmartLipo, body jet, VASER, and tickle liposuction.

What Can I Expect After Liposuction?
Following the liposuction surgery, patients will wear a compression garment on the treated areas. It takes about a full week for the bruising and swelling to dissipate and can take several months for the final results to appear. Liposuction will produce scars where the cannula insertion incision is made. These are small and will fade over time. We will provide aftercare instructions for the treatment area to prevent major scarring.
