Understanding Liposuction in West Des Moines

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and refine body contours. Board-certified plastic surgeons at Koch & Carlisle Plastic Surgery specialize in targeting specific areas of the body to create more defined and attractive silhouettes.

Common Liposuction Treatment Areas

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Hips and Flanks
• Arms
• Back

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Candidates for liposuction are typically healthy individuals near their goal weight who have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring technique.

Liposuction Procedure Details

During the procedure, surgeons use a specialized cannula to precisely remove fat cells, sculpting a more refined body shape. The technique involves minimal incisions and targeted fat removal to create smooth, natural-looking results.

Complementary Procedures

Liposuction can be combined with other surgical procedures such as:

• Mommy Makeover
• Tummy Tuck
• Brazilian Butt Lift
• Male Breast Reduction

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically progresses over several weeks, with patients returning to normal activities gradually. Compression garments are used to support healing and optimize contouring results.

Recovery Timeline

• 1 week: Resume non-strenuous activities
• 2-3 weeks: Reduced swelling and bruising
• 4-6 weeks: Return to full exercise routine
• 3-6 months: Final results become visible
