What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring plastic surgery procedures in Nashville and nationwide. Liposuction addresses small areas of stubborn fat that have not responded to dietary changes or exercise. Typically, there is no excess skin or tissue laxity. Liposuction can be an effective procedure for women and men when combined with other skin removal and body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck, breast lift, or gynecomastia procedures.

During liposuction surgery, Dr. MaDan creates small incisions in the skin to access the stubborn fat. These incisions are typically the size of your small fingernail–about 1-2 mm in length. The tumescent solution, which is a mixture of IV saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine, is infiltrated throughout the treatment area for pain control and to minimize bleeding. A hollow suction tube called a cannula is inserted through the small incisions to remove the fat and fluid.

At BEYOND Collective, Dr. MaDan utilizes various liposuction techniques to ensure optimal results after fat reduction. Suction-assisted, power-assisted, and VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction are the types of liposuction techniques offered by Dr. MaDan. Usually, a 5 – 10% skin tightening effect can be appreciated after these techniques, likely due to scar re-distribution. Sometimes, a patient with poor skin quality may have loose or excess skin after liposuction. For these patients, a cutting-edge radiofrequency energy device like Renuvion® (also known as J-Plasma) can be added to the procedure to produce up to a 60% skin-tightening effect. Patients with significant excess hanging skin will likely require skin removal with liposuction for optimal results.

Liposuction can enhance your shape and figure by addressing the small pockets of stubborn fat. The most common areas for liposuction include:

Upper and lower abdomen
Chest, accompanying gynecomastia surgery
Underarms/Armpit or axilla, usually combined with breast surgery
Chin/Neck, submental fat
Flanks or love handles
Mons/Pubic area
Back, upper back, bra line
Hips
Thighs
Arms

Liposuction is not for weight loss. In fact, the scale is unlikely to change after your liposuction procedure. The purpose is to sculpt and refine stubborn problem areas that have not responded to diet and exercise. As such, Dr. MaDan recommends her Nashville liposuction candidates should be without significant skin excess and within 5 – 10% of their ideal weight and BMI < 30 before surgery.

What Procedures Can Be Combined With Liposuction?

Liposuction procedures are uniquely tailored for each patient. Dr. MaDan offers many body contouring procedures customized to your anatomy, including:

Liposuction 360

For patients looking for a truly transformative result, Liposuction 360 offers comprehensive body contouring that addresses the entire midsection in a single procedure. Rather than targeting one isolated area, Lipo 360 treats the abdomen, flanks, waist, and back simultaneously, sculpting a smoother, more defined silhouette from every angle.

What Makes Lipo 360 Different?

Traditional liposuction focuses on a specific zone, which can sometimes leave adjacent areas looking uneven or untreated. Lipo 360 takes a full-circumference approach, allowing your surgeon to create natural-looking contours that flow seamlessly around your entire torso. The result is a more balanced, proportionate figure that looks great whether you’re facing forward, turned to the side, or viewed from behind.

What Can You Expect From Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation and typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the areas treated. Small incisions are placed in discreet areas, and a thin cannula is used to remove unwanted fat while molding the surrounding tissue. Most patients return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks, with final results becoming visible over the next 3 to 6 months as swelling subsides.

Ideal Candidates

You may be a good candidate for Liposuction 360 if you:

Are at or near your goal weight but have difficulty with stubborn fat around your midsection
Want to define your waist and create an hourglass shape
Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
Have good skin elasticity that will conform to your new contours

Lipo 360 is often combined with a tummy tuck or mommy makeover for patients who want even more dramatic reshaping. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the approach that will deliver the most satisfying, long-lasting outcome.

How to Prepare for Liposuction?

Before your Nashville liposuction surgery, it’s essential to be in good overall health. While Dr. MaDan will customize liposuction treatments for each patient, here is some general information to help you prepare.

• Stick to a consistent exercise program, and eat a healthy, well-rounded diet with plenty of protein to help you maintain your stable weight and avoid weight fluctuations.

• Visit your primary physician for an examination and appropriate testing to ensure you’re medically fit for surgery. For any person aged 50 and over, we require routine labs, such as CBC, BMP/CMP, and EKG.

• Stop taking medications, supplements, or vitamins that increase bleeding or bruising risks for at least 2 weeks before and after surgery. For example, avoid fish oil, garlic, ginseng, vitamin E, and ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory medications.

• If you currently smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. As smoking is detrimental to your overall health and recovery, Dr. MaDan requires that patients stop smoking at least 6 weeks before and after surgery. A urine nicotine test will be performed on the morning of your procedure.

• Prepare your home and allow time in your schedule for recovery. Take adequate time off work, complete necessary chores and activities before surgery, and create a comfortable place to recover. It’s also helpful to freeze meals or set up a food delivery service. All necessary medications, supplies, and garments will be provided at your pre-operative appointment.

• Arrange for assistance. First, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for at least 24 hours. You may also need help with household management or childcare for a few weeks following surgery.

What to Expect During Liposuction under General Anesthesia?

On the night before surgery, don’t eat or drink anything after midnight. Take necessary medications with small sips of water. Avoid wearing makeup, lotions, or deodo
