Liposuction

Nashville Location

Sometimes, inherited traits can make it difficult to attain your desired body shape, even with years of exercise. If you find yourself struggling to achieve your ideal physique, liposuction may be the perfect solution for you – and it’s no wonder why it’s the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure available. With liposuction, you can target specific areas of your body that are resistant to traditional exercise, acting as a powerful “spot reducer” to remove stubborn fat. Under the care of our highly trained Board Certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. DeLozier, you can expect a slimmer, more defined figure that you can feel confident in. Don’t wait to achieve the body of your dreams – contact us today to learn more about how liposuction can work for you.

About Liposuction Cosmetic Surgery

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities during your liposuction procedure, which is why you will be under general anesthesia. We use liposuction to effectively remove fat from various areas of the body, including the arms, legs, torso, and face. To begin the procedure, Dr. DeLozier will make small incisions near the targeted areas and insert a thin, hollow tube known as a cannula. This cannula is then moved through the layers of tissue to remove the excess fat, resulting in a more contoured appearance. In some cases, excess skin may also need to be removed, in which case Dr. DeLozier will carefully stitch the incision to ensure optimal results. Trust in our expert care to help you achieve the look you desire.

There are several liposuction techniques for you to choose from:

  • Standard Tumescent Technique injects fluid into your body, roughly the same amount as the fat to be removed
  • Body Jet Liposuction gently washes away the fat without traumatizing other structures such as blood vessels and nerves
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL) uses a specially designed cannula to liquefy the fat and suction it away
  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is a new technology in which the tip of the suction cannula vibrates at a high frequency. The vibration helps loosen the fat cells so they can be suctioned away more easily

Smart Lipo

Dr. DeLozier offers Smart Lipo – a revolutionary, minimally invasive laser lipolysis system for fat removal. Using a small cannula, the laser fiber ruptures fat cells and causes collagen shrinkage and skin tightening. Smart Lipo offers a quicker recovery time, less bleeding, swelling and bruising compared to traditional liposuction.

Recovery From Liposuction

Dr. DeLozier will want you to move around as soon as possible to increase circulation after your liposuction procedure. After about 1-2 weeks your stitches will be removed. Most of the swelling should subside after three weeks. It is possible, though unlikely, that some swelling may last up to six months. You may resume normal exercise and activities after one month. At DeLozier Cosmetic Surgery Center, we will carefully track your recovery through follow-up visits.

Liposuction Results

You will have a more contoured silhouette as a result of liposuction surgery. Whether you seek a dramatic area reduction or just want to trim your physique, you’ll need new clothing to fit your new shape. Or you may finally enjoy the way clothes fit you. Our patients enjoy making the most of their new-found toned body. We expect that you will, too.

YOUR CONSULTATION

Our consultation process is a journey of discovery — here’s what to expect when you begin yours at the DeLozier Cosmetic Surgery Center.

Your consultation is an opportunity to gather information and explore cosmetic surgery and non-surgical options. During your journey here, we encourage you to ask questions, examine possibilities, and discover what procedures can enhance and improve your appearance and boost your confidence.

There are several steps to your consult; the most important is meeting with Board Certified Dr. DeLozier to discuss your objectives. Dr. DeLozier will offer his professional opinion on your requested procedure and may suggest other options that work best for you and your desired goals. This is the perfect time to ask questions and educate yourself about your treatment. The entire consult is an hour long, and the fee is $75.00, which will be deducted from your procedure cost.

REGISTRATION

The first step is to meet with our Front Desk Coordinator. They will assist you with the patient intake process and inquire about your demographics, and medical history. After sharing the necessary information, you’ll be invited to have a seat in our relaxing waiting area.

PHYSICIAN CONSULTATION

After your initial intake session, a member of the DeLozier team will escort you to an examination room. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss what surgical or non-surgical procedures you are interested in and share your goals. Next, you’ll meet with Dr. DeLozier to learn about the treatments and explore which may match your goals. During this discovery session, you’ll receive his professional opinion and advice about what is best for your desires and have the opportunity to ask questions. There are also photo albums available with before and after images of each procedure so you can see real results.

MEETING WITH THE PATIENT CARE COORDINATOR

Once you’ve completed your consult with Dr. DeLozier, you’ll meet with our Patient Care Coordinator, Jennifer Moore. She’ll discuss the cost of the procedure and the financing options for your surgery. Jennifer will also assist with scheduling; if you have a particular date in mind, she’ll work to accommodate your schedule. She is your go-to contact at the clinic if you are still in the information-gathering stage or have questions.
