What is Liposuction surgery?
Even though you diet and exercise, you might still be bothered by pockets of fat that are keeping you from feeling confident in your body. Plastic Surgery Vegas is proud to offer the latest treatments to effectively eliminate fat from areas of concern on the body. Surgical liposuction is a body contouring procedure that reduces fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks to create a slimmer appearance. This treatment at Plastic Surgery Vegas can be blended to treat multiple body parts. During your initial visit, we will examine the areas of your body you wish to address so you can reach your personal goals. We want you to look and feel your absolute best.
Am I a candidate for liposuction?
Liposuction is a great procedure for individuals who are at an ideal weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that cannot be lost with diet alone. Patients interested in liposuction should have healthy skin because liposuction does not address stretched-out skin. It's also important to realize that liposuction is not a treatment for losing weight. Females undergoing liposuction should have no plans to become pregnant again as this could compromise the results. At the time of your consult for surgery, we will discuss realistic expectations.
What are the benefits of liposuction?
Our Las Vegas, NV patients who receive liposuction are drawn to this surgery for a variety of reasons, including:
-
Its effectiveness at removing stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to other weight-loss methods
-
Increased confidence in how you look and feel without the inhibitions of stomach folds
-
Control over the level of invasiveness and extent of the procedure
-
Small incisions, thanks to surgical innovations that result in minimal scarring and recovery times
Liposuction Reviews
The staff has always made me feel so comfortable. Stacie who is with Dr Silver, has been so caring and loving to me. My first surgery was my tummy tuck. WOW š¤© !!!!! I look amazing!! One year later, I am 3 weeks post opt for skin reduction on both arms and liposuction on both legs. Now for Dr Silver, besides being so darn cute. He is the sweetest doctor Iāve ever had. Iāve had my fair share of surgeries. Iāve had replacements, hernia surgeries, gallbladder hysterectomy to say the least. But Dr. SILVER is the only doctor that has ever held my hands while on the operating table just before I go to sleep. He spoke to me so calmly, and gave me that boyish smile that is so darn cute. I really could adopt him as a son to tell you the truth, I am not a very easy patient. I am kind of hardheaded. Dr. SILVER has managed to work around my stubbornness. For that Iām eternally grateful.
Dr. Higgins is a true artist. Instead of sculpting in marble, clay or bronze, he sculpts bodies. I have been self-conscious about my belly pooch for 55 years. Finally, I treated myself to a tummy tuck, mons lift and liposuction. During the first consultation, Dr. Higgins knew exactly what I wanted and had been feeling about my body before I even expressed it. Itās as though he read my mind. He is a great listener and explains comprehensively what he suggests doing in surgery. I didnāt feel rushed, and he took the time to answer all the questions. Bedside manners are impeccable. Follow-up is extraordinary. The day after surgery, I removed the girdle to shower and saw the results for the first time. What a phenomenal difference! Though I was swollen, my body dramatically changed. Dr. Higgins said it will take about a year to achieve the final look, but in my head, Iām already there. All the staff at Plastic Surgery Vegas are kind, gracious, efficient, accommodating and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Higgins and his staff.
The entire staff at Plastic Surgery Vegas is absolutely amazing. I have seen Dr. Higgins for 2 procedures now. Liposuction and excess skin removal. Dr. Higgins is an absolutely amazing surgeon. During consultation he knows exactly what needs to be done and helps you understand the procedures needed. His skill level is very very apparent in the results. His bedside manner is professional and comfortable at the same time. I deal with Laura on a regular basis when Iām at PSV. She is amazing as well. Getting consultations to start with and then getting bandages removed for follow ups can all be very personal and you could feel uncomfortable. Laura is a professional and very good at making you feel comfortable in uncomfortable situation. I highly recommend Plastic Surgery Vegas to anyone thinking of getting some positive changes made to their body. Update!!! Years later, (and some amazing black out tattoos) Iām so so happy with my body. There were changes that I could never have possibly done with any amount of work with the extra skin. The happiness and satisfaction that I have Found in my body in my confidence was worth 10 times the money I spent !! Huge things to Dr. Higgins šš¼
Had a tummy tuck and liposuction done by Dr Silver. Couldnāt be happier with the results. He did an amazing job. I recommend him for all of your plastic surgery needs. The whole staff is attentive, Stacie his assistant was very helpful and informative, they go above and beyond for all of your needs.
Older age brings about thoughts of who we are so thankful for being in our lives. At the top of my list, is dear Dr Anson, who we all regret her taking early retirement. Then of course, Dr Terry Higgins whose ability to keep the rest of the body looking the way we see in magazines and dream to be . It is possible with little discomfort. And now, this same facility which was originally known to me as Anson & Higgins, has expanded with other doctors as talented. Dr. Edwards is nationally renowned for his complicated breast revisions, and I can attest to his skilled talent and determination for perfection to please.

How is it performed?
Surgical liposuction is performed in an outpatient setting with the patient under general anesthesia. A very small incision is placed through the skin, and a cannula will be inserted. The cannula is a special tool that makes it easier to work loose the fatty tissue that is being removed. Once the chosen amounts of fat have been eliminated, we will close the incision. Depending on the number of areas receiving treatment, your procedure could take several hours. In the dedicated recovery area, your post-op team will assist you in managing any discomfort and care for your treated areas until your discharge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What about nonsurgical liposuction?
Thanks to modern advancements, there are several nonsurgical options to reduce fat. Some of the most popular methods are CoolSculpting and Kybella. Although these nonsurgical procedures can help reduce small amounts of fat, surgical liposuction is best for most people. Liposuction surgery delivers more dramatic and consistent results. Talk to our team about nonsurgical options in your consultation. We will be happy to go over the benefits and drawbacks of all your options and help you choose which is best for your needs and goals.
Will I have scars?
Since liposuction is a surgical procedure, incisions will be made and sutured. This will create scars; however, we will do our best to reduce their appearance. This includes making small, thin incisions in the natural folds of your body or in less visible areas. After your surgery, our team will go over how to care for your incisions so they heal flat and eventually fade.
Will my results last?
Before you have liposuction surgery, it's important to be committed to maintaining your results. Although liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in your body, you can still lose and gain weight. We recommend that you be at or close to your ideal weight before having liposuction. Afterward, it is best to remain within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Getting pregnant after liposuction will also affect your results; however, another surgery, like a mommy makeover, can be done to refresh your body.
What can I expect after treatment?
You may be in recovery at home from lipo for several weeks, depending on the number of treatments performed and the size of the treatment area. It's normal to have bruising and swelling for one or two weeks, and you should have the stitches removed 7 – 10 days after surgery. The most important thing to do after having any surgery is to allow your body time to rest and heal. Once you return to work after your procedure, you should remember to take it easy. To increase your strength, stick to walking and light workouts as approved by our office. Keep in mind, you may see some improvements soon after your surgery, but it takes 6 – 10 months before your new body contour and shape is complete.
