What is Liposuction?

Liposuction removes localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. During the procedure, a small incision is made and a thin cannula is inserted to break up and suction out unwanted fat. Liposuction can be performed on almost any area of the body, including:

  • Abdomen
  • Waist and flanks
  • Lower back / bra roll
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Inner knees
  • Upper arms
  • Chin / neck
  • Chest (men)
  • Calves

After swelling subsides, the treated areas appear slimmer, more sculpted, and better proportioned.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we provide expert care and personalized body-contouring results, with Dr. Salama giving you a safe, tailored recommendation for your ideal liposuction treatment plan.

360 Lipo in Miami

At Elite Plastic Surgery, 360 Lipo is one of our most requested procedures because it treats the entire midsection — front, sides, and back — to create a more dramatic hourglass or V-shape. It is also a key component of a Brazilian Butt Lift.

360 Lipo typically includes:

  • Upper & lower abdomen
  • Upper & lower back
  • Flanks / waist

This comprehensive approach creates a naturally tapered waistline and enhances your body’s curves from every angle.

Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction in Miami?

The best candidates for Liposuction Miami are men and women seeking targeted fat reduction rather than overall weight loss. Working with an experienced Miami liposuction surgeon ensures your procedure is customized for safe, precise, and long-lasting results.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have pinchable pockets of excess fat
  • Are close to your ideal weight (BMI generally under 35)
  • Have good skin elasticity with minimal sagging
  • Lead a healthy lifestyle and maintain stable weight
  • Do not smoke or are willing to stop before/after surgery
  • Want to refine your shape after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Have realistic expectations about results

Liposuction is not designed for weight loss, cellulite removal, or tightening large amounts of loose skin. Patients with significant laxity may benefit more from procedures like a tummy tuck or body lift.

Types of Liposuction Techniques

Dr. Salama specializes in several advanced technologies to ensure the safest, most effective fat removal possible.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Uses a mechanically powered cannula to gently break up fat.

  • Less bruising
  • Shorter recovery
  • No heat, no risk of burns
  • Precise sculpting

Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)
Traditional technique using manual suction to remove loosened fat.

  • Reliable
  • Effective for large areas

Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before removal.

  • Smoother results
  • More control
  • Some skin-tightening benefit

Laser Liposuction
Uses laser heat to melt fat and stimulate some skin tightening.

  • Quick recovery
  • Good for small or delicate areas

During your consultation, Dr. Salama will determine which method (or combination) is best for your anatomy and goals.

Combining Liposuction With Other Procedures

Many Miami patients combine Liposuction with other procedures to enhance their overall shape. Popular combinations include:

  • BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) to add volume after waist definition
  • Tummy Tuck for loose skin or muscle separation
  • Mommy Makeover for full body rejuvenation
  • Arm or Thigh Lift if skin laxity is present after weight loss

Combination surgery allows Dr. Salama to create more dramatic, harmonious results.

Benefits of Liposuction in Miami

Liposuction offers powerful physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Permanent removal of fat cells
  • Slimmer, more sculpted figure
  • Improved body proportions
  • Increased confidence in clothing

Liposuction After Ozempic & GLP-1 Weight Loss in Miami

Many patients experience great weight loss with medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, but still struggle with stubborn pockets of fat or lack of definition. If you’re looking to further sculpt your figure and enhance your body contours, Liposuction helps refine your results by:

  • Targeting resistant fat – GLP-1 medications help with overall weight loss, but some areas may still hold onto excess fat. Liposuction removes these stubborn fat pockets.
  • Creating more even body proportions – After major weight loss, your body may not always look as balanced as you’d like. Liposuction creates smoother curves and definition.
  • Enhancing muscle definition – Liposuction can highlight your natural muscle tone by removing the superficial fat layer that hides your underlying structure, creating a more toned and athletic appearance.
  • Pairing well with skin-tightening or tummy tuck procedures – If you’ve lost significant weight and have loose skin, liposuction combined with a tummy tuck or skin tightening treatments can give you a firmer, more toned look.
  • Delivering long-lasting results – Once fat cells are removed, they’re gone for good! Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your new shape.
Liposuction is an excellent “final step” for patients who want a polished, sculpted look after major weight loss. If you are ready to put the finishing touches on your weight loss journey, schedule a consultation with Dr. Moises Salama today.

How Liposuction is Performed

Liposuction is typically completed in one to three hours depending on the number of areas being treated. Dr. Salama performs the procedure using precise, minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe fat removal and smooth, natural-looking contours.

Here’s what you can expect during your Liposuction Miami procedure:

1. Anesthesia

You may receive local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the areas treated and your personalized surgical plan.

2. Small, Hidden Incisions

Dr. Salama makes tiny incisions placed in natural creases or discreet locations to minimize visible scarring.

3. Fat Loosening & Sculpting

A thin cannula is inserted to gently break up fat. Using advanced technologies such as PAL, SAL, ultrasonic, or laser lipo, Dr. Salama carefully sculpts and contours the treatment areas.

4. Fat Removal

Once loosened, fat is suctioned out through the cannula. Dr. Salama focuses on creating smooth transitions and natural proportions—not just removing fat, but shaping the body.

5. Closing & Compression

Incisions are closed with tiny sutures, and a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and support your newly sculpted contours.

This step-by-step approach ensures safe, predictable, and beautifully refined results.

 

Liposuction Recovery in Miami

The Liposuction recovery period ranges from a few days to several weeks. The initial stages can be especially uncomfortable, which makes taking care of the treated areas very important. To expedite recovery, reduce swelling and help shape the body, the doctor may recommend compression garments or wraps for several weeks or months after surgery. Most swelling improves significantly within 4–6 weeks, and your final results appear between 3–6 months. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to avoid infection at the incision sites.

Though recovery time varies depending on the number of areas treated, most patients can expect:

Week 1:

Swelling, soreness, and bruising
Light walking encouraged
Compression garment worn 24/7

Week 2–3:

Stitches removed
Most patients return to work
Less swelling and discomfort

Week 4–6:

Resume light workouts
Swelling continues to improve

3 Months:

Results become more noticeable
Skin continues to smooth and tighten

Final Results:

Visible once swelling fully resolves (3–6 months)

Risks of Liposuction

All surgical procedures carry risks. Although complications are rare, potential risks include:

  • Swelling and numbness
  • Fluid retention
  • Contour irregularities
  • Temporary pigmentation changes
  • Infection
  • Burns (ultrasonic or laser lipo)

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon significantly reduces these risks.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

The cost of liposuction varies depending on:

  • Number of areas treated
  • Size of the area
  • Time required in surgery
  • Technique used
  • Surgeon’s experience
  • Geographic location

The national average cost of Liposuction ranges from $2,000 to $8,000. At Elite Plastic Surgery:

  • Liposuction begins at $3,000
  • Pricing includes surgical fees, anesthesia, and operating room costs
  • Financing options are available
  • Reduced pricing applies when lipo is combined with other procedures

While cost is important, quality should remain more important. Choosing an experienced, board-certified surgeon is essential for safety and results. Be careful not to let cheap lipo prices supersede good surgery.
