How Is Liposuction Performed?
Liposuction is completed in an outpatient setting using topical anesthetic. A very small incision is placed through the skin so a cannula can be inserted. The cannula is a tool that helps work loose the fatty tissue that is being suctioned out. After the fat deposits have been removed, the incision will be sealed.

Liposuction Reviews
Exceptional Experience with Dr. Aflaki: A Life-Changing Transformation (One month Post-op) I recently underwent a transformative journey with Dr. Aflaki and his incredible team, and I couldn't be happier with the results. After shedding 70 pounds, I opted for a full Tummy Tuck, Lipo 360, and muscle repair procedure. The muscle repair was my primary reason for getting the surgery and I’m so glad I did because Dr. Aflaki closed up a 2-3 finger gap. From the moment I scheduled my consultation, I knew I was in excellent hands. Dr. Aflaki's expertise, paired with his genuine kindness and friendliness, immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, he remained informative and thorough, ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. The staff’s exceptional professionalism and compassion made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I experienced no post-operative nausea or vomiting, and the pain was minimal, thanks to their attentive care. One month post-op, and the results are beyond my expectations. My waist is beautifully defined, my stomach is flat, and those pesky bra rolls are a thing of the past. I'm thrilled with the outcome and eagerly anticipate seeing even more progress as I continue my fitness journey. I cannot thank Dr. Aflaki and his team enough for their outstanding work. My experience with them has been nothing short of life-changing, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Aflaki to anyone considering plastic surgery.
Dr. H Bautista is an honest PS who has his patients' best interest in mind. I knew that him and his team would be my best choice from the minute I met them. Dr. B’s work was excellent and worth it. The experience and results were phenomenal. You will not regret your decision to work with Dr. Bautista. I highly recommend him if you are looking for high quality and a smooth process from beginning to end. I’m only 6 weeks PO and i love my results already.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?
Fat removal surgery is a great treatment for those who are at a healthy weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that cannot be lost with diet alone. Individuals contemplating liposuction should have good skin laxity because liposuction does not address loose or sagging skin. It is also important to know that liposuction is not a treatment for losing weight. Women having liposuction should have no plans to become pregnant again as this could compromise the results. During your consultation for surgery, our surgical team will discuss realistic expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does liposuction cost?
Your cost for liposuction will vary depending on the technique being used and how many areas are being treated. In your consultation, Dr. Heppe will develop your personal treatment plan based on your needs and goals. He will also consider your budget. Once your plan is ready, we can discuss the estimated costs. To help make your cosmetic surgery easy to afford, Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg takes several payment options, and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
What about nonsurgical liposuction?
There are many nonsurgical options to reduce fat. Although nonsurgical treatments may help reduce small amounts of fat, surgical liposuction is best for most people. Liposuction surgery delivers more dramatic and consistent results. If you are curious about nonsurgical liposuction, you can ask Dr. Heppe about it during your consultation. He will review the benefits of all your options and help you choose the best for your needs and goals.
What about cellulite and loose skin?
Liposuction surgery only corrects excess fat. If you have loose skin, Dr. Heppe may suggest combining liposuction with a lift surgery. Lipo is often performed along with skin tightening surgery, like a tummy tuck, thighplasty, or arm lift, to produce the best results. To correct cellulite, there are several nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatment options available. During your consultation, talk to Dr. Heppe about all your concerns, like cellulite and loose skin, so a comprehensive treatment plan is created.
Will I have scars?
Since a facelift is a surgical procedure, incisions will need to be made and stitched. This will leave scars; however, Dr. Heppe does his best to minimize their appearance. This includes making small, thin incisions in the natural folds of your body or in less visible areas. After your surgery, Dr. Heppe or a member of his team will teach you how to care for your incisions, so they heal properly and fade.
Will my results last?
Before liposuction, it is important to be committed to maintaining your results. While liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in an area, you can still gain and lose weight. Dr. Heppe suggests that you be at or close to a healthy weight before having liposuction surgery. Afterward, it's best to remain within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Pregnancy after liposuction will also alter your results; however, a second surgery, like a mommy makeover, may be performed to refresh your appearance.
