Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you:

  • Are at or near your ideal weight.
  • Have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
  • Are in good physical and mental health.
  • Have good skin elasticity to ensure smooth results.
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.

If you have significant loose skin in addition to excess fat, you may benefit more from a tummy tuck or other body contouring procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Sistare will evaluate your needs and recommend the best approach.

I am totally blown away by Dr. Sistare's talent as a young cosmetic surgeon. He's definitely ahead of the curve as it relates to new technology in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Sistare is a gamechanger. His attention to detail, and precision are unmatched. He took the time to understand my goals and delivered results that far exceeded my expectations. His artistic eye and skills for balance and symmetry are truly impressive. I feel like a more confident and refreshed version of myself. His staff are so friendly, they know you by name after the first visit. Concierge cosmetic surgery, treatment and results without the concierge prices. And he's charming to boot!

After going on several consultations for a breast implant removal procedure with a breast lift, I was sure Dr. Sistare was going to be the doctor I would choose. He listened carefully to what I wanted and explained step by step how and what to expect from the procedure. He took his time to answer ALL of my questions. I didn’t feel persuaded to change my mind about what I wanted. He listened! I have my procedure scheduled so I’m looking forward to my results.
I do have a friend that already used Dr. Sistare and she’s EXTREMELY happy with her results.

After years of dealing with my eyelids impacting my vision, I finally decided to move forward with a procedure to address it and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Sistare. From the first appointment, he was thoughtful, clear, and attentive. He took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.

The procedure itself was awake, smooth and surprisingly easy. I’m very grateful for Dr. Sistare’s expertise and care, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others considering similar care! He has great bedside manner, and also gives you his personal number to help answer any questions.

Dr. Michael Sistare did surgery for my neck & face and I was very pleased with his expertise during my surgery. He called me later that night after the surgery to check up on me. That was very impressive. The post-opt experience was very good. He answered all my questions and was very patient, caring and kind.
A week after my surgery, my face and neck looked significantly better. It boosted my confidence and brought me great joy.
I am ecstatic and pleased by how I now look in the mirror.
Good job!

More about Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes subcutaneous fat, the layer of fat beneath the skin, to enhance body contours. This technique is highly effective for addressing stubborn fat deposits in areas such as:

  • Abdomen and waistline
  • Love handles and flanks
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Back and chest
  • Neck and under the chin (double chin)

By targeting specific areas, liposuction sculpts and reshapes your body to create a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Liposuction offers numerous physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • A more sculpted, defined body contour.
  • Targeted fat reduction in stubborn areas.
  • Improved confidence in your appearance.
  • Enhanced proportions and overall balance.
  • Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

What to Expect During and After Liposuction

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Sistare. During this meeting, you’ll:

  • Discuss your goals and concerns.
  • Undergo a physical evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate.
  • Learn about the liposuction techniques available and the expected outcomes.

The Surgical Procedure

Liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general or local anesthesia. Dr. Sistare uses tumescent liposuction, a safe and effective technique that involves injecting a saline solution into the treatment area to:

  • Break apart fat cells for easier removal.
  • Minimize bleeding and bruising.
  • Numb the area for a more comfortable experience.

Once the tumescent solution is administered, a small cannula (a thin, hollow tube) is inserted through tiny incisions to suction out the fat. The incisions are so small that they often require only a single suture, leaving minimal scarring.

Recovery and Healing

After liposuction, you can expect:

  • Swelling and Bruising: These are normal and will gradually subside over the first few weeks.
  • Compression Garments: Worn to reduce swelling and help the skin conform to your new contours.
  • Mild Discomfort: Manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications.

Most patients are encouraged to move around within the first day or two to promote circulation and prevent complications.

  • 1 Week Post-Op: Most people can return to work and light daily activities.
  • 2 to 4 Weeks Post-Op: You can gradually increase physical activity, but avoid strenuous exercise.
  • 1 to 3 Months Post-Op: Swelling continues to diminish, revealing your final results.

Dr. Sistare will provide detailed recovery instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. While liposuction is a safe and effective procedure, it’s important to understand potential risks, which include:

  • Infection or poor wound healing.
  • Irregular contours or skin dimpling.
  • Fluid accumulation (seroma).
  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Dr. Sistare takes every precaution to minimize these risks and will discuss them with you during your consultation.

Maintaining Your Results

Liposuction provides long-lasting results by permanently removing fat cells from the treated areas. To maintain your new contours:

  • Follow a healthy diet and exercise routine.
  • Avoid significant weight fluctuations.
  • Stay hydrated and take care of your skin.

While liposuction can’t prevent future weight gain, a commitment to a healthy lifestyle will help you enjoy your results for years to come.

Liposuction FAQs

The cost of your Palm Beach liposuction will depend on the size and number of areas that you would like to treat. After your consultation, Dr. Sistare and his team will be able to provide you with a more accurate liposuction cost estimate based on your specific needs. Please ask us about available financing options and payment plans if interested.
No. Most health insurance plans do not cover the cost of liposuction, which is an elective procedure. For more information about your specific health coverage, call the number listed on the back of your insurance card.
Dr. Sistare generally recommends coming within at least 30 pounds of your ideal body weight before moving forward with liposuction. This will help to ensure your safety and optimal results.
Choose a skilled cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in body contouring procedures. Look for positive patient reviews and post-doctoral training specifically in cosmetic surgery techniques to ensure you’re in good hands.
As with any cosmetic surgery, liposuction is not without its limitations. One such limitation is its inability to address loose or excess skin. If loose skin is a concern for you, a tummy tuck and liposuction combination may be the best treatment option for you. Liposuction also comes with surgical risks such as infection, bleeding, complications from anesthesia and poor wound healing. Dr. Sistare, however, takes every precaution to minimize these risks as much as possible.
Yes. Dr. Sistare is typically able to perform liposuction on more than one treatment area in a single surgery. However, for more extensive liposuction or liposuction that is combined with other body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift and arm lift, he may recommend multiple surgeries to ensure safety and quality results.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with medication and typically subsides within a few days.
The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas.
Most patients return to work within a week, but this depends on the extent of your procedure and the physical demands of your job.
For many people, liposuction does not result in loose or sagging skin. However, depending on the quality and elasticity of your skin, loose skin can occur following liposuction. This is something that Dr. Sistare can evaluate prior to your procedure and will recommend combining liposuction with other procedures to address excess skin as well.
The amount of fat removed varies by individual, but the procedure focuses on enhancing body contours rather than achieving a specific weight or inch loss.
Swelling and fluid retention can remain for several weeks or months after getting liposuction, which can temporarily hide your results. Wear your compression garment as directed to help reduce swelling and be patient with your body as it continues to heal and swelling diminishes over time.
You’ll notice an immediate difference in your body shape after surgery. Final results develop over 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently gone and do not come back. However, the remaining fat cells in both the treated and untreated areas can become larger, leading to weight gain. Thus, it is important to keep up with healthy eating and exercise habits to maintain long-term results.
The vast majority of liposuction patients report feeling that the procedure was worth it. However, satisfaction is directly related to one’s expectations going into the procedure, and it is important to understand both the benefits and limitations of liposuction before deciding if it could be right for you.
There are nonsurgical alternatives to liposuction, such as CoolSculpting. However, nonsurgical devices are unable to deliver the same caliber of results as a surgical procedure like liposuction.
