What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a popular medical aesthetic treatment for removing stubborn fat. Along with regular liposuction procedures, we offer:
- Laser liposuction treatments: Laser lipolysis involves inserting a laser below the skin to both shrink fat cells and tighten the skin’s collagen with its targeted heat and light. Aestheticians can then use suction to remove the smaller cells.
- Power-assisted liposuction (PAL): This procedure uses a vibrating cannula. Surgeons use the cannula to break up fat below the dermis so they can then use suction to remove the loosened fat tissue.
- Tumescent liposuction: Aestheticians begin this procedure by injecting a solution into the fatty tissue below the skin, causing it to swell. Professionals can then remove fat closer to the skin’s surface with more precision and greater safety.
During your initial consultation, our team can help you determine which procedure is best for you by considering your goals, current medications and medical history, and other health and wellness factors.
Liposuction and Fat Transfer
Laser Liposuction in Miami is a popular procedure for eliminating fat that diet and exercise simply won’t budge. Surgeons and aestheticians can remove significant amounts of fatty tissue from around the stomach, back, legs, and arms. They can also target stubborn fat around the neck and face for a younger, thinner appearance. For even more stunning results, many people are combining liposuction with fat transfer.
Fat transfer procedures start with tumescent liposuction. After removing the fat, a surgeon will take fat from the neck or abdomen and use it to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful and full appearance.

Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction offers several benefits, and modern innovations in tumescent liposuction make the procedure even safer and more effective. The benefits of choosing liposuction from Arviv Medical Aesthetics are:
- Local anesthetic: The procedure can be done with localized anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. The solution used in tumescent liposuction is an anesthetic solution that contains epinephrine. The solution reduces pain both during and after the procedure.
- Speed: Each liposuction appointment takes between two and five hours, with a one-hour in-office recovery period. Patients can easily plan liposuction treatments and be out of the office to rest and recover the same day.
- Faster recovery: Tumescent liposuction offers a faster recovery period because the fluid reduces bleeding, bruising, and pain. Today’s procedures also require smaller incisions, significantly reducing scarring.
- Fat transfer and fat grafting: You can combine liposuction suction treatments with fat transfer options to fill in the skin.
About Tumescent Liposuction & Fat Transfers:
Tumescent Liposuction Procedure:
Below is an overview of what to expect when going through a tumescent liposuction procedure here at our Miami office. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to call us today.
During Tumescent Liposuction:
While the actual procedure is being conducted, an anesthetic solution, which softens fat cells, will be used to make the fat deposits easier to remove. This solution will also contain epinephrine, which will decrease the amount of bleeding in the area and minimize bruising, pain and swelling after the operation.
A small incision in the skin is made to allow a sterilized cannula to enter into the fat layer of skin. The cannula is moved back and forth through the incision to remove the hardened fat. The fat travels through a sterile tube into a container that collets the fat.
After Tumescent Liposuction:
After the fat has been removed, the incision is covered and you will wear an elastic compression outfit designed to help support the skin while it heals and reduce swelling. Most procedures last between two and five hours. You will remain in our recovery area after the procedure for about one hour before going home.
Fat Transfer Procedure
Fat transfer can be used to help fill lines and wrinkles in your skin. As its name suggests, fat is transferred from one part of your body to another. Typically when our Miami surgeons perform this procedure, this fat is taken from the neck or abdomen, as part of the liposuction procedure and held in a sterile container and then reinserted in the area to be filled. We do not remove fat under general anesthesia, only local.
What to Expect After Your Procedure
Walking is recommended to minimize the risk of blood clots and other complications. However, exercise and labor-intensive work should be avoided for three to seven days after the procedure.
Swelling in the surgical area is normal but should subside in four to seven days. Within the first one to two weeks, most people can see results, but some patients may take three to six months to see the final results.
As with any surgical procedure, there can be complications, but they are typically rare. Common complications such as lumpiness, skin irregularities, dimpling, loose skin, numbness, infections, and scarring can occur after the procedure and in most cases these can be easily corrected.
Recovering From Liposuction in Miami:
Tumescent liposuction has a fast recovery period. The localized anesthetic solution minimizes pain for up to 24 hours after the surgery is complete, and most patients can manage lingering discomfort with Tylenol. There is minimal swelling and bruising, and it diminishes within three days. We recommend light walking immediately following the procedure and returning to work or your normal exercise routine within three to seven days.
Our team can help you prepare for and resolve potential side effects like loose skin, numbness, lumpy skin, and infections.
