Liposuction in Nashville

There are several liposuction techniques we perform at DeLozier Plastic Surgery in Nashville.

• Standard Tumescent Technique, which injects fluid into your body, roughly the same amount as the fat to be removed
• Ultrasound-Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL), which uses a specially designed cannula to liquefy the fat and suction it away
• Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL). This 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.
• Renuvion Skin Tightening is a highly effective adjunct to liposuction, which addresses the loose skin that might otherwise appear after the removal of fat cells.

We can certainly discuss which procedure(s) will be the best fit for your unique aesthetic goals! A surgeon from DeLozier Plastic Surgery will take the time to meet with you for a full-hour consultation, during which time we will listen to your concerns, discuss your goals and lifestyle, and determine your candidacy for surgery.

Many of our patients choose to combine liposuction with other body-contouring surgeries such as:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
• Arm Lift
• Thigh or Leg Lift
• Facelift
• Necklift

The process of receiving plastic surgery starts well before the operating room. We ensure the day of your liposuction procedure feels calm and efficient. The key is our pre-operative appointment, which takes place between 1 month and 2 weeks out from your surgery.

During this time, we finalize the details of the procedure, from pre-op instructions, to incision placement, to post-care recovery. We will call in any prescriptions in advance, and provide tips and instructions on how to prepare for recovery. We will also take the time to answer any and all other questions you might have, so you can feel comfortable, confident, and well-informed going into surgery day.

At DeLozier Plastic Surgery, we perform all surgeries in our on-site operating suite. After you arrive, we will escort you to a private room where we will mark the area(s) of treatment.
We operate on patients under general anesthesia or under sedation when performing liposuction in Nashville; regardless of the option you choose, you can rest assured you will be both safe and comfortable in our AAAA, state-of-the-art operating room. Our anesthesia team will also stay with you from start to finish to monitor your heart rate and ensure your physical safety.

Our highly experienced plastic surgeons use liposuction to effectively remove fat from various areas of the body, including the arms, legs, torso, and face. To begin the procedure, he or she will make small incisions near the targeted areas and insert a thin, hollow tube known as a cannula. We then move the cannula through the layers of tissue to remove the excess fat, resulting in a more contoured appearance.
