Liposuction
Liposuction in Seattle, WA
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction is also commonly paired with a tummy tuck or included as part of a mommy makeover to refine the waistline and contour multiple areas in a single recovery.
At Sound Plastic Surgery in Seattle, Dr. Joshua Cooper and Dr. Scott Sattler are board-certified plastic surgeons who use tumescent and power-assisted liposuction (PAL), two techniques designed to remove fat more precisely with less bruising and a faster recovery. Most patients return to desk work and light activity within a few days, and wear a compression garment for about four weeks to support healing and minimize swelling.

Learn about our minimally invasive liposuction procedures that effectively remove unwanted fat and enhance natural beauty. Our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons have performed thousands of liposuction procedures in Seattle using advanced techniques that ensure safety and exceptional results. Liposuction may be the solution you’ve been seeking if you’re struggling with stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
What Does Liposuction Surgery Entail?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets and removes excess fat from various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, waist, and neck. Using the tumescent liposuction technique, our surgeons skillfully remove fat through small, inconspicuous incisions. This technique involves injecting a saline solution with an anesthetic to minimize discomfort and bleeding, ensuring a smoother recovery.
At our Sound Plastic Surgery Center, we use power-assisted liposuction (PAL), which allows for precise, efficient fat removal, sculpting the treated areas to create a more contoured and toned appearance. Whether you’re looking to reduce waistline fat or slim down your thighs, liposuction can help you achieve a more balanced and proportionate figure.
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction in Seattle?
Liposuction is ideal for healthy individuals close to their ideal body weight but has localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Candidates should have good skin elasticity to ensure the best post-surgery liposuction results. Common areas treated with liposuction include:
-
Abdomen and waist
-
Hips and thighs
-
Neck and chin
-
Arms
-
Love handles and saddlebag regions
-
Knees and calves
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but a way to refine and contour the body by removing targeted fat. Your surgeon will assess your goals during your consultation in Seattle and determine if liposuction suits you.
What Can I Expect From the Recovery Process?
One advantage of the tumescent liposuction technique used at Sound Plastic Surgery is the rapid recovery time. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days following the procedure. Initially, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, typically managed with light pain medications.
We provide all patients a compression garment for about four weeks after surgery to minimize swelling and support healing. For those who undergo neck liposuction, a neck garment is worn at night for two weeks to help maintain the newly contoured shape. While some results will be visible immediately, swelling may take several weeks to subside entirely, revealing your final contour. We highly recommend following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attending all your follow-up appointments for the best results and a healthy recovery.
How Long Will My Liposuction Results Last?
Liposuction results are long-lasting, especially with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. The fat cells removed during the procedure do not regenerate, meaning the treated areas remain permanently slimmer. However, weight gain can still affect untreated areas, so following a balanced lifestyle is essential to preserve your results.
