"I got arms, inner thighs, knees and the upper back area of thighs done. I was expecting a lot of pain but experienced nothing other than discomfort for a few weeks. I didn't even use my pain medication.
The immediate results were impressive and I am still waiting for the final results after 3 to 6 months.!"

"I recently underwent a procedure with Dr. Ford, and my experience was highly positive. The staff at the clinic were friendly and welcoming, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere from the outset. Dr. Ford demonstrated a high level of knowledge and provided detailed explanations about the procedure, addressing all of my questions comprehensively.
The procedure itself was executed smoothly, with careful planning and organization evident from start to finish. Each stage, from the initial consultation to follow-up appointments, was well-coordinated. Throughout the process, Dr. Ford and his team were consistently accessible, providing reassurance and clear communication. Final result was better than I expected.
I would confidently recommend Dr. Ford for anyone considering plastic surgery, given the high quality of care, expertise, and effective communication provided by him and his staff."

Liposuction is an excellent option if you want to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. However, it's important to note that this is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss surgery. Here are some factors that make an ideal candidate for liposuction:
Stable Weight: You should be at a stable weight that you can maintain post-surgery. Fluctuating weight can impact your results.
Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine ensures the longevity of your results.
Good Skin Elasticity: Your skin should have enough elasticity to adapt to your new contours after fat removal.
Nonsmoker: Smoking can interfere with the healing process, so it's best if you don't smoke or are willing to quit before and after the procedure.
Realistic Expectations: You should clearly understand what liposuction can achieve and maintain realistic expectations about the outcomes.
During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your needs and determine if liposuction is right for you. They will help you understand the process and what you can expect, ensuring you are fully informed and confident about your decision.
Liposuction is a versatile procedure that effectively targets and removes fat from various areas of your body, helping you achieve a more contoured and balanced appearance. During your consultation at Ford Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons will evaluate your skin elasticity and other factors to determine the best approach for your surgery. The most common areas treated with liposuction include:
Arms
Knees
At Ford Plastic Surgery, liposuction is performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. Using the advanced SAFELipo® technique, your surgeon makes tiny incisions near the treatment areas, and a narrow tube called a cannula gently suctions out the unwanted fat. SAFELipo® offers several benefits, including smoother results, minimal bruising, reduced downtime, and precise fat removal.
To help you better understand the liposuction process and what to expect, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:
What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?
Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day with the assistance of a loved one. After the surgery, you may be required to wear a special compression garment to minimize swelling and support the treated areas as they heal. Most patients find that they can return to work and resume nonstrenuous activities within 1 to 2 weeks, with discomfort managed with prescribed medication.
The incisions made during liposuction are small, resulting in discreet scars. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your incisions heal properly and to help you achieve the best possible results.
Can Fat Come Back After Liposuction?
The fat cells removed during lipo cannot return, but the remaining fat cells can expand if you gain weight. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine is essential to preserve your enhanced contours and enjoy long-lasting results.
How Much Does Liposuction Cost?
The cost of lipo surgery varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the procedure and the number of areas being treated. At Ford Plastic Surgery, we provide personalized price quotes during your consultation to ensure you clearly understand the costs involved.

Multiple areas can be treated during a single procedure, allowing for comprehensive body contouring that achieves attractive, harmonious results. Combining a tummy tuck with liposuction offers a more complete transformation if you have excess skin on your midsection or separated abdominal muscles.
Additionally, the fat extracted during liposuction can sometimes be used to enhance other areas of your face or body through a technique called autologous fat grafting (or "fat transfer"). This option adds volume to the face, breasts, or buttocks, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance.
SAFELipo® stands for separation, aspiration, and fat equalization, the steps your plastic surgeon uses to perform the procedure. SAFELipo is an advanced liposuction approach that ensures smoother contours, less bruising, a shorter recovery period, and precise fat removal.
After liposuction, you can look forward to:
Enhanced body shape and definition
Improved self-confidence and body image
Long-lasting results with a healthy lifestyle
Better fitting clothes and an improved overall appearance
Will I Lose Weight With Liposuction?
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but the treated area will look trimmer, and most people fit into smaller clothing sizes once they've recovered.
