What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and under the chin. Liposuction is designed for refining and sculpting the body, not for significant weight loss, making it ideal for patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and surrounding areas seeking a more toned and proportionate silhouette.

Dr. Sumita Saha, our board-certified plastic surgeon, uses advanced techniques including tumescent and power-assisted liposuction to safely remove fat, minimize discomfort, and achieve smooth, natural-looking results. This method also reduces bleeding and protects surrounding tissues, allowing for a faster and more comfortable recovery.

What to expect

Liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and volume of fat removed. Small incisions are made to insert a thin cannula, which gently suctions out unwanted fat. Most patients wear compression garments for several weeks to minimize swelling and help the skin conform to its new contours. Mild bruising and soreness are common, but most people return to work within a few days. Final results continue to improve for several months as swelling subsides and fat cells removed during the procedure do not return.

Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, back, and under the chin. Patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and surrounding Michigan communities choose liposuction to achieve a more sculpted, proportionate silhouette.

Candidates are near their ideal weight, in good health, and want targeted body contouring rather than major weight loss.

Most patients resume light activities in 2–3 days, return to work within a week, and see final results over 2–3 months.

Incisions are tiny and strategically placed in natural skin folds for minimal visibility.

Results are long-lasting with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, helping patients in Battle Creek and Jackson maintain confidence in their new silhouette.

You can schedule a consultation online via our website or by calling our Battle Creek or Jackson offices. Dr. Sumita Saha will evaluate your goals, review your medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan.
