Liposuction

Reclaim your confidence and contour your body with precision. At Bednar Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa in Charlotte, NC, we now offer liposuction—a time-tested, artfully applied procedure designed to sculpt your natural figure while maintaining harmony, proportion, and elegance.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that permanently removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body, using a minimally invasive suction technique. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, hips, flanks, and under the chin. At Bednar Cosmetic Surgery, liposuction is more than fat removal—it’s body refinement guided by an artistic eye.

Using advanced techniques and technology, Dr. Edward Bednar prioritizes smooth results, minimal downtime, and a natural, proportional silhouette that complements your individual beauty.

Liposuction vs. Other Body Contouring Procedures

While non-invasive body sculpting procedures like CoolSculpting or radiofrequency treatments can provide modest results over time, liposuction offers immediate, dramatic, and long-lasting improvement. For individuals looking to address larger or more resistant fat deposits, liposuction remains the gold standard.

Compared to:

Tummy Tucks

Liposuction focuses on fat removal, not skin tightening or muscle repair.

Fat Transfer (used in our breast augmentation procedures)

Liposuction often precedes fat transfer by harvesting fat from areas such as the flanks or thighs.

At Bednar Cosmetic Surgery, liposuction may be combined with other procedures to create a holistic, artistically aligned result.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is liposuction painful?

Discomfort is minimal and well-managed with medication. Most patients describe it as soreness rather than pain, similar to a deep bruise.

How long is the recovery time?

Most patients return to work and light activity within 3–5 days. Full recovery typically occurs in 2–3 weeks, with gradual improvement in swelling and contour.

Will there be scars?

Liposuction involves small incisions, typically less than 1 centimeter, which are placed in discreet areas and fade over time. Dr. Bednar uses meticulous techniques to ensure minimal scarring.

Can the fat come back?

The removed fat cells are gone permanently. However, if you gain weight, remaining fat cells can expand, so maintaining your weight is essential for preserving results.

Is liposuction safe?

Yes, when performed by a skilled, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Bednar. Safety is always our top priority, and your health history will be reviewed thoroughly.
