What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is the gold standard for permanent, precise fat removal. Using the tumescent technique — a solution of saline, local anesthetic, and epinephrine injected before fat removal — our board-certified surgeons sculpt targeted areas with minimal bleeding, less bruising, and faster recovery than older methods.
At Clifton Park Medical Aesthetics, liposuction is performed entirely at our on-site surgical suite under local anesthesia. There is no hospital transfer, no general anesthesia, and no separate facility fee. The same medical team that consults with you performs your procedure and manages your recovery.
Treatment Areas
Liposuction is a highly effective body contouring procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen and flanks (love handles), upper arms, inner and outer thighs, chin and neck, back and bra line, as well as the knees and calves. Multiple areas can often be treated during the same procedure to create a more balanced, sculpted, and natural-looking result.
What to Expect
From your first consultation to your final results, here is a step-by-step overview of the liposuction experience at Clifton Park Medical Aesthetics.
Consultation
Your surgeon reviews your goals, assesses the treatment areas, and discusses whether liposuction alone or a combination with BodyTite (for skin tightening) is most appropriate. A personalized surgical plan and realistic outcome expectations are discussed in full.
Tumescent Preparation
A saline solution containing local anesthetic and epinephrine is injected into the fat layer. This numbs the area completely, constricts blood vessels to minimize bleeding, and makes fat easier to remove — resulting in less bruising and a more comfortable experience than older liposuction techniques.
Fat Removal
Tiny incisions are made in natural skin folds or inconspicuous locations. A thin cannula is inserted and used to loosen and suction fat cells from the targeted areas. Your surgeon sculpts with precision, evaluating contour and symmetry throughout the procedure.
Recovery & Results
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks to support healing and improve contouring. Swelling resolves gradually over 2–4 weeks. Final results — the full sculpted contour — are visible at 3–6 months.
Good Candidates for Liposuction
Liposuction works best for specific types of patients and goals. A consultation with our surgeons is the most reliable way to determine if it’s the right choice for you.
- Adults at or near a stable, healthy weight with localized fat deposits
- Patients with stubborn fat that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise
- Those with good skin elasticity who do not have significant loose skin
- Patients wanting permanent results from a single procedure
- Patients with fat AND loose or sagging skin — BodyTite tightens while removing fat
- Those wanting maximum skin contraction alongside fat removal in one session

Is liposuction performed at your clinic?
Yes — entirely at our on-site surgical suite in Clifton Park. No hospital transfer, no separate facility fee. Procedures are performed under local anesthesia (tumescent technique) by our board-certified surgeons.
Is liposuction permanent?
Yes. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas. Those cells cannot return. If significant weight is gained afterward, remaining fat cells in other areas may enlarge, but the treated area retains its improved contour.
What is the differences between BodyTite and liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin. BodyTite combines fat removal with RFAL radiofrequency skin tightening in the same session — delivering up to 40% more skin contraction. For patients with loose skin alongside excess fat, BodyTite is often the better solution.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to desk work in 3–5 days. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks. Swelling resolves over 2–4 weeks and final sculpted results are fully visible at 3–6 months.
Can multiple areas can treated at one?
Yes. Multiple areas — such as the abdomen, flanks, and arms — are frequently combined in one session. Your surgeon will confirm the safest and most efficient combination for your goals at your consultation.
Who performs the procedure?
All surgical procedures are performed by our board-certified physicians in our dedicated on-site surgical suite. We are a physician-owned medical practice — your safety and results are always the first priority.
