Liposuction (Liposculpture)

Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures we offer, and it is a favorite for both men and women. If you are considering liposuction, ask yourself the following questions:
• Do you have stubborn areas of fat, such as on your chest, love handles, or abdomen, that seem unresponsive to strict diet and exercise regimens?
• Do you have one or two areas of your body that seem to be out of proportion to the rest of your body?
• Would you like to enhance your body contours?
• Are you in good health?
• Can you define your desired result, or do you know what you want to look like after the procedure?

If you answered, “yes,” to one or more of these questions, liposuction may be a good option for you. We encourage you to contact us today to learn more and to set up your consultation at our office.

Our team at the Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Center of Kentucky focuses on personalized consultations. These meetings include a discussion of your expectations, desires, concerns, and questions. We are here to help you understand the options we offer for helping you reach all of your goals for your appearance.

Dr. Mitchell Kaye and our team never rush their time with you, and we are always happy to answer your questions. You should expect your consultation to last about one hour. At the conclusion of your visit, our Patient Care Coordinator will be able to assist you with scheduling and any other needs. We invite you to contact us today to schedule your individual consultation.

Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure under sedation, and the area is thoroughly numbed. Liposuction is typically completed under total intravenous anesthesia with tumescent infiltration to ensure your safety and comfort. During the procedure, our experienced plastic surgeon uses a tube called a cannula that is attached to a suction system to remove fat from the body.

Depending on your procedure, liposuction may take 1-2 hours. You will be discharged home following the procedure, and we will call you that evening to check on you. You will also visit with Dr. Mitchell Kaye on the day following the procedure.

If you are one of our patients who travel a long distance to have your procedure with us, we recommend staying overnight in a local hotel. This avoids long car rides following the surgery. We have arranged special discounted rates with local hotels; please feel free to contact our Patient Care Coordinator for more information.

In his experience, Dr. Mitchell Kaye has found that other technologies like water, laser, or ultrasound assisted liposuction do not improve the result but do increase the complexity and cost of the procedure.

Because liposuction does not involve large incisions, most patients heal quickly. It’s best to rest and relax for one week following the procedure. You can then return to work and normal daily activities. During your postoperative visits with Dr. Mitchell Kaye, he will give you careful instructions on when you can resume your regular gym workouts as well. We are dedicated to helping you heal quickly and comfortably.

Many of our patients love how they look following liposuction! Without those stubborn areas of fat, patients love their enhanced contours and overall appearance.

The cost of liposuction depends on a number of factors that are individual to you, including your desires, your body, and your procedure. Our prices are inclusive, covering the consultation, surgery, anesthesia, and postoperative visits. As part of your consultation at our office, our team will review the involved costs with you and discuss options for financing.

We are pleased to offer financing through CareCredit or United Medical Credit, and we also offer a cash discount. Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures. For more information about our financing options, we invite you to contact our Patient Care Coordinator at the Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Center of Kentucky.
