Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure designed to reduce fat in areas that may not respond to healthy eating and regular exercise. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick offers liposuction for patients seeking a smoother, more proportional shape. With more than 30 years of experience as a board-certified Plastic Surgeon, he focuses on natural-looking refinement supported by clear guidance and attentive care.
What Liposuction May Improve
Certain parts of the body can hold on to fullness even when an individual is otherwise in good physical condition. Liposuction may help refine areas such as:
- Chin and neckline
- Upper arms
- Stomach and waistline
- Hips and buttocks
- Back
- Thighs and knees
The procedure works best for individuals who maintain a stable weight and have good skin tone, as the skin must tighten smoothly over the new contours. Once fat cells are removed, they do not grow back, which is why many patients notice long-lasting improvement when they continue supporting their results with healthy habits.
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction may be an option for individuals who:
- Want to reduce localized fat deposits
- Wish to achieve better balance between body areas
- Have tried diet and exercise without success in target regions
- Have good skin elasticity
Dr. Andochick evaluates each patient’s anatomy, goals, and skin characteristics during a consultation to determine whether liposuction, a tummy tuck, or a combination of procedures may best support the desired result.
How Liposuction Works
Liposuction reduces fat by using small, precise instruments to remove targeted fat cells beneath the skin. Dr. Andochick makes small incisions in discreet locations and uses gentle techniques to contour the treated area. The procedure may involve local or general anesthesia depending on the extent of treatment and patient preference.
After fat removal, compression garments are placed to support the new contours and help manage swelling. Liposuction may be performed on its own or combined with other procedures for more comprehensive improvement.
The procedure is performed in the practice’s QUAD A–accredited private operating room. This on-site facility allows for a controlled, private, and safe environment where Dr. Andochick and his board-certified anesthesia team manage the entire surgical experience with consistency and attention to detail.
Liposuction Recovery and Results
Recovery from liposuction varies depending on the areas treated. Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort that gradually improves over time. Compression garments may be worn for several weeks to support healing. Fluid drainage from incision sites can occur initially and is expected.
General guidelines may include:
- Wearing support garments as directed
- Using oral pain medication for temporary discomfort
- Staying mobile with light walking
- Following all personalized instructions provided by Dr. Andochick
As swelling resolves, patients often notice smoother contours and improved body proportions. Final refinement continues over time as the tissues settle.
