Liposuction

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The liposuction treatment involves small incisions being made in the skin, through which fat is suctioned out. It is recommended that patients are at their ideal weight, as this is not a procedure for weight loss. Rather, it is a contouring procedure that helps refine the shape and balance of the body. Common treatment areas include the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, arms, neck, and chin, and other areas where fat tends to accumulate.

Why Should You Consider Liposuction?

The goal of liposuction is to bring localized fat deposits into proportion with the rest of the body. Even with a healthy lifestyle, many people struggle with localized fat that simply will not go away. Liposuction offers a solution by targeting these persistent areas, allowing patients to achieve a smoother, more sculpted figure. The procedure enhances natural contours, improves body symmetry, boosts self-confidence, and helps clothing fit more comfortably.

Ideal Candidates for Liposuction

Dr. Brown evaluates each patient individually to ensure liposuction is appropriate for their goals and anatomy. Liposuction is well-suited for individuals who:

• Have isolated pockets of unwanted fat
• Maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle
• Have good skin elasticity for optimal contouring
• Want to refine and not drastically change their body shape
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations

Your Liposuction Consultation with Dr. Brown

During your consultation, Dr. Aaron Brown will take the time to understand your concerns, review your medical history, and identify the areas you would like to improve.

The consultation fee for liposuction is $100 plus GST. After your consultation, you will receive a quote for the procedure, which is valid for six months. This quote includes Dr. Brown’s fee for performing liposuction, the clinic fee, and follow-up appointments with Dr. Brown. The only additional costs may be post-operative pain medication and general lab work (if you do not have a BC Care Card). You will also receive a booklet with your quote, detailed information on liposuction, clinic details, and financing options.

The Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction begins with small, strategically placed incisions that allow Dr. Brown to insert a thin, specialized instrument called a cannula. Using controlled movements and advanced techniques, he gently removes excess fat to sculpt the area and smooth the overall appearance. Dr. Brown focuses on creating balanced, proportional, and aesthetically refined contours that complement your natural shape.

Recovery Process and Timeline

Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the areas treated and individual healing rates. Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days. Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and support the new contours. Many individuals return to work and light activities within one week, with more strenuous exercise postponed until Dr. Brown provides clearance.

Aftercare Instructions

Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Dr. Brown will advise you on maintaining incision hygiene, wearing compression garments, managing swelling, and gradually increasing activity levels. Follow-up appointments help ensure your progress stays on track, allowing Dr. Brown to make personalized recommendations as you heal.
