Liposuction
Montreal
Liposuction is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat from specific areas of the body to enhance contour and achieve a more proportionate appearance. It involves using a thin tube called a cannula to suction out the fat from targeted regions, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms.

What is
high-definition liposuction?
» High-definition liposuction, also known as VASER Hi-Def liposuction, is an advanced technique that combines traditional liposuction with ultrasound technology to precisely sculpt the underlying fat, bringing out more defined muscle contours. It is commonly used to create a more athletic and sculpted appearance.

What is the difference
between liposuction and fat transfer?
» Liposuction involves the removal of excess fat from certain body areas, while fat transfer, also known as lipofilling or fat grafting, is the process of taking harvested fat and re-injecting it into another area of the body to add volume or enhance contours, such as in breast augmentation or buttock augmentation.

Yes, our center proudly offers high-definition liposuction (VASER Hi-Def) as part of our comprehensive liposuction options. Our skilled surgeons are well-versed in this cutting-edge technique to help patients achieve their desired sculpted look.
While liposuction focuses on removing excess fat from specific areas, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) combines liposuction with fat transfer. The harvested fat is purified and injected into the buttocks to enhance their size, shape, and overall appearance.
J-plasma, also known as Renuvion, is a skin tightening technology used in conjunction with liposuction. Liposuction targets fat removal, while J-plasma utilizes helium plasma to tighten and firm the skin, resulting in a smoother and more sculpted appearance.
Liposuction and VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) are related but distinct techniques. VASER is an ultrasound-assisted liposuction method that uses ultrasonic energy to break down fat cells, making them easier to remove during the liposuction process.
During the patient evaluation for liposuction, our experienced surgeon will assess the patient’s overall health, discuss their aesthetic goals and concerns, and conduct a thorough examination of the areas to be treated. This evaluation helps determine the most appropriate liposuction technique and create a tailored treatment plan.
On the day of the liposuction procedure, patients will be prepped for surgery, and the chosen anesthesia will be administered to ensure their comfort. The surgeon will then make small incisions in the targeted areas, insert the cannula to suction out the excess fat, and sculpt the desired contours.
Key questions to ask your surgeon before liposuction include:
- Are you certified and experienced in performing liposuction?
- What are the potential risks and complications?
- Can I see before and after photos of previous liposuction patients?
What type of anesthesia will be used?
- What is the expected recovery time?
After liposuction, expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. You may need to wear compression garments and follow post-operative instructions. Results will improve as swelling subsides.
Alternatives to liposuction include non-surgical fat reduction methods like CoolSculpting and laser lipolysis. However, liposuction remains the most effective method for significant fat removal and body contouring.
Recovery time after liposuction varies among individuals and depends on the extent of the procedure. Most patients can return to work and resume light activities within a few days to a week. Full recovery, with swelling and bruising subsiding, may take several weeks.
The cost of liposuction in Montreal depends on factors such as the number of areas treated, the extent of the procedure, and the surgeon’s expertise. To receive an accurate cost estimate, it is best to schedule a consultation with our experienced team.
