Struggling with stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise? Liposuction remains the gold standard for permanent fat removal and sculpted body contours. At Enigma Medi Spa & Plastic Surgery, we specialize in minimally invasive liposuction—often paired with BodyTite or FaceTite for dramatic results with skin tightening included.
Here’s what you need to know before booking a consultation.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction uses small incisions and a thin suction tube (cannula) to remove unwanted fat from precise areas of the body. It is ideal for reshaping and contouring—not for weight loss.
Common treatment areas:
- Abdomen & flanks (“love handles”)
- Chin & jawline
- Upper arms
- Thighs (inner & outer)
- Back rolls & bra fat
- Male chest (gynecomastia)
Combine with BodyTite & FaceTite for Superior Results
For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, we often combine liposuction with BodyTite or FaceTite—radiofrequency-assisted technologies by InMode that tighten the skin and stimulate collagen while fat is removed.
- BodyTite: Ideal for arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and bra rolls
- FaceTite: Targets jowls, lower face, and under-chin fat
This combination provides simultaneous fat removal and skin tightening, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking contours.
Who’s a Candidate?
You may be a great candidate for liposuction (with or without FaceTite/BodyTite) if you:
- Are close to your ideal weight
- Have localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise
- Want more definition in your waist, arms, jawline, or thighs
- Have good skin tone or mild laxity that can be tightened with RF
- Are in good general health and not currently smoking
Recovery & Results
Liposuction recovery is relatively quick:
- Return to light activity: 3–5 days
- Resume work: 5–10 days (depending on area treated)
- Compression garment: worn for 4–6 weeks
- Final results: visible in 3–6 months as swelling resolves
FaceTite and BodyTite add only minimal downtime but greatly enhance skin tightening and final outcomes.
Liposuction vs. Non-Surgical Fat Reduction
At Enigma Medi Spa, we also offer a full suite of non-invasive body contouring options for those not ready for surgery or seeking mild to moderate fat reduction:
| Treatment | Best For | Invasive? | Skin Tightening? |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoolSculpting Elite | Freezing stubborn fat bulges, including under the chin | ❌ | ❌ |
| SculpSure | Laser-based fat reduction—body & double chin | ❌ | ❌ |
| CoolTone | Muscle toning (abs, glutes, thighs) | ❌ | ❌ |
| Emsculpt | Building muscle + fat reduction | ❌ | ❌ |
| Morpheus8 Body | RF microneedling for fat + texture | ❌ | ✅ |
| Velashape | Cellulite smoothing & circumference | ❌ | ✅ (mild) |
| Semaglutide | Medical weight loss injections | ❌ | ❌ |
| Liposuction + BodyTite | Targeted fat removal + skin tightening | ✅ |
🔹 CoolSculpting Elite and SculpSure are also FDA-cleared to reduce fat under the chin (submental area), offering non-invasive options for treating double chins without downtime.
Bottom line:
- Liposuction + FaceTite/BodyTite = most precise, immediate, long-lasting contouring
- Non-surgical options = ideal for patients avoiding downtime or seeking smaller refinements
