What Is Liposuction?
Sometimes, exercise and dieting aren't enough to reduce stubborn fat in certain areas. At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer liposuction as a cosmetic solution that targets persistent pockets of fat, helping you achieve a more contoured shape. Common types of this procedure include chin liposuction, thigh liposuction, and stomach liposuction. Each targets distinct areas, sculpting a slimmer and more defined appearance. MKE Aesthetics & Wellness also offers awake liposuction, allowing patients to remain conscious while experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure. The cost of liposuction varies, depending on the targeted area and the extent of fat removal. If you're considering this option, schedule a consultation at our Pleasant Prairie, WI office today to discuss your goals.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction involves making small incisions to remove excess fat using a thin tube or cannula. After loosening the fatty tissue and vacuuming it out, our surgical team will close the small incision. Most procedures take 1 – 2 hours with recovery lasting a few days. With awake liposuction, you'll remain conscious but comfortable using local numbing. This option reduces risks linked to general anesthesia and allows a quicker return to daily activities. Our team ensures clear communication every step of the way so you are informed and feel relaxed. In the separate area for recovery, your post-op team will help manage any pain and care for your incisions until you are discharged.
What Should I Expect after Liposuction?
Recovery from liposuction surgery can take several weeks, depending on the number and size of the treated areas. Swelling and bruising are common for the first 1 – 2 weeks, and sutures are typically removed between days seven and ten. The most important part of recovery is allowing your body time to heal properly. When you return to work, be sure to take it easy and avoid overexertion. To gradually regain strength, we recommend short walks and light activity as advised by our team. While you may see some initial changes soon after surgery, it typically takes 6 – 10 months for your final body contour to fully develop.

Am I A Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is an excellent option for both men and women who are at or near their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. This procedure is best suited for those with good skin elasticity, as it does not address loose or sagging skin. It's also important to understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution. Women considering liposuction should be finished having children, as pregnancy can affect long-term results. During your consultation, our team will discuss realistic expectations and help determine if liposuction is the right choice for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does liposuction cost?
Liposuction costs depend on the technique used and the number of areas being treated. During your consultation, our team will create a personalized surgical plan based on your needs, goals, and budget. Once your plan is developed, we will provide an estimated cost. To help make liposuction more affordable, MKE Aesthetics & Wellness accepts various payment options and can assist you in finding low-interest medical financing.
Will I have scars?
Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, small incisions are necessary, which will result in minimal scarring. Our team takes great care to place incisions in natural folds or less visible areas of the body. After your procedure, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your incisions heal properly and fade over time.
Will my results last?
Maintaining your liposuction results requires a commitment to a stable weight. While the procedure removes fat cells from the treated areas, weight fluctuations can still impact your outcome. Our team recommends reaching or maintaining a healthy weight before surgery and staying within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. If you become pregnant after liposuction, changes in your body may alter your results, but procedures like a mommy makeover can help restore your shape.
