Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, helping you achieve a more toned and contoured appearance. Whether you’re looking to target areas like the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, or chin, liposuction can sculpt and enhance your body’s natural shape. Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are in good health and have localized fat deposits that persist despite a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Schmidt has also used liposuction to correct “cankles” where there is a lack of definition between the calf and ankle that makes some men and women self-conscious. It’s not intended as a weight-loss solution, but rather a body-shaping procedure that refines and sculpts your physique. If you’re frustrated with areas of fat that won’t budge, liposuction may be the perfect option to help you achieve a slimmer, more defined body.

A Refined, Contoured Look
After liposuction surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, but these symptoms will subside as you heal. Dr. Schmidt and her team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks, but you should wait 4 weeks before resuming strenuous activity. As the swelling reduces, your body will begin to have a smoother, more sculpted appearance. Liposuction provides long-lasting results, and the fat cells removed during surgery are permanently gone, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for maintaining your new shape. With time, your enhanced contours will continue to improve, giving you the confidence to enjoy a slimmer, more defined physique.
