How Much Does Liposuction Cost in St. Petersburg, FL?

Although we cannot quote a specific price without an in-person consultation, the physician fees for liposuction (depending on the degree of correction needed) range from $2,000 to $4,000 per area.

What Is Liposculpture?

While you might have heard about liposuction, you might be a little puzzled when you see the term “liposculpture.” Dr. Narasimhan uses proven liposuction techniques but prefers to talk about this procedure as liposculpture to emphasize the essential artistic component that a truly skilled surgeon can provide. His artful eye, combined with rigorous training and real-world experience, can make the difference and deliver a smooth, satisfying result.

An Attractive Body With Liposculpture

Body contouring with liposculpture may be right for you if you are close to your ideal body weight, have good skin tone, and would like to reduce pockets of unwanted fat. Dr. Narasimhan offers both tumescent and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) to treat such areas as the following:

  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Waist
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Arms

Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck

While both are contouring procedures not intended for weight loss, liposuction and tummy tuck surgery have different purposes. Here are some differences:

Liposuction

  • Removes localized fat pockets
  • Involves tiny incisions placed discreetly
  • Does not tighten skin

Tummy Tuck

Facial Liposuction Treatment Areas

Dr. Narasimhan performs liposuction on its own or combined with facial plastic surgery to enhance the following areas:

  • Cheeks
  • Under the chin (submental region)
  • Jawline (jowls)
  • Neck

Liposuction for Men

Dr. Narasimhan uses liposuction to help men who are fit and at a healthy weight reduce stubborn areas that retain fat, which commonly include:

  • Under the chin
  • Chest
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Belly

Liposuction also complements surgical procedures for men, such as gynecomastia surgery and tummy tucks.

Commonly Combined Procedures

At your consultation, Dr. Narasimhan can review your areas of cosmetic concern and give you more information about body contouring and other plastic surgery procedures. He often performs liposculpture to enhance the results of other procedures, such as the following:

Recovery Following Liposculpture

Liposuction FAQ

Is surgical body contouring better than nonsurgical body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting®?

Each has its own pros and cons. Surgical procedures are more precise (one and done) and provide more noticeable results but involve scars and downtime. Nonsurgical procedures like CoolSculpting provide minor fat reduction, may need to be repeated, involve no incisions, and require little to no downtime.

Does the fat come back after liposuction?

Fat cells are removed with liposuction and do not grow back; however, remaining fat cells and those in other areas enlarge with weight gain.

What are the potential
risks of liposuction?

When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Narasimhan, liposuction is a safe, effective way to reduce unwanted fat. But, like any surgical procedure, liposuction is not without risk. Potential complications are rare and may include infection, bleeding, and contour irregularities. Complications related to anesthesia are also possible. During your consultation, Dr. Narasimhan reviews your personal medical history to determine if you are healthy enough to undergo liposuction, and he’ll give you a better idea about your specific risk for these complications.

Does liposuction treat cellulite?

Not quite. Although many people associate cellulite with excess fat, it actually comes from connective tissue that pulls on skin from below. Extra fat can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite, but removing fat won’t treat it completely. During your consultation, Dr. Narasimhan will examine your areas of concern and help you understand what liposuction can do for you. If you’re primarily bothered by cellulite, he may make alternative recommendations to help you achieve the look you want.

Can liposuction help me lose weight?

Liposuction is not intended to be a weight loss procedure, and any measurable weight loss that occurs as a result of surgery is likely to be negligible. High-volume fat removal via liposuction increases the risk of complications, and Dr. Narasimhan doesn’t recommend the procedure for patients who are significantly overweight. Instead, liposuction is meant to reduce smaller, more localized pockets of fat that may be resistant to diet and exercise adjustments. Some patients have also said that, after surgery, they’re more inclined to observe healthy habits in order to maintain or even build upon their results. Therefore, while liposuction isn’t a weight loss tool in and of itself, it can be a motivator that leads to improved health and fitness.
