Understanding Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits through a small cannula inserted beneath the skin. Dr. Nicholas Wingate uses the latest liposuction technology to sculpt virtually any area of the body — from the hips and abdomen to the arms and buttocks — delivering precise, natural-looking results.

360 Lipo: Reveal Your Flat Stomach + Contoured Waist

Unlike traditional liposuction which removes small pockets of fat from isolated areas on the body, 360 Lipo targets the entire circumference of the torso. With this procedure, Dr. Wingate can reduce fat on your abdomen, love handles, back, and waist. By contouring your midsection from all angles, he can create a dramatic and comprehensive transformation. With 360 Lipo, Dr. Wingate can:

  • Create a more defined waistline
  • Remove fat throughout the abdomen, flanks, and back
  • Sculpt a smooth and contoured midsection

High-Definition Lipo: Precision Sculpting for Your Ideal Body

High-definition lipo is similar to traditional liposuction in that it can use a manual or power-assisted cannula to suction away unwanted fat. However, the fat removal process is unique. During high-definition lipo, Dr. Wingate will precisely sculpt your treatment area—improving its overall contour. He will remove varying amounts of fat in strategic areas to create a 3D result, creating the appearance of defined muscles. With high-definition liposuction, Dr. Wingate can:

  • Precisely extract fat and sculpt your ideal physique
  • Customize your results to meet your unique needs
  • Produce natural-looking muscle definition

Skin Tightening with Renuvion

Once Dr. Wingate has contoured your body and removed unwanted pockets of fat, he will often perform Renuvion skin tightening treatments. He can use this minimally-invasive procedure to firm loose skin in the treatment area, ensuring that you emerge from surgery with a taut and youthful body contour.

Liposuction / Renuvion Skin Tightening Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for liposuction?

The best liposuction candidates are close to their ideal weight and in good general health. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure—not a weight loss surgery. It can beautifully define and sculpt your physique, but it can’t remove a large volume of unwanted fat.

How long is the recovery?

Your full liposuction recovery can take two to four weeks. However, most of our Wayne patients can return to work and light activities within about one week.

Does liposuction result in scarring?

The cannulas used during liposuction are very small. As such, the scars are small as well. Most of Dr. Wingate’s patients do not experience noticeable scarring after liposuction, in part due to the care he takes to hide incisions strategically and close them with exceptional care.
