Liposuction in Winston-Salem, NC

Liposuction for Stubborn Fat and Body Contouring

Sometimes, no matter how healthy your lifestyle, certain areas just won’t budge. Liposuction can help refine these stubborn zones—sculpting a smoother, more proportionate silhouette.

At Forsyth Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons use liposuction to contour areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, neck, and more. This isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about helping your shape reflect how you feel.

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but it can be a powerful finishing tool for patients already near their target weight.

What to Expect

Your Consultation

Every body is different. At your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals, discuss the areas you want to target, and determine if liposuction—or a combined approach—makes the most sense. You’ll also learn about incision placement, recovery, and skin elasticity considerations.

Liposuction Surgery and Recovery

Liposuction is performed in our accredited on-site surgery center under general or local anesthesia, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas. In some cases, Renuvion®, an advanced skin-tightening technology may be used during the procedure to tighten and contract skin for a smoother, more sculpted contour.

Downtime: Most patients return to light activity in 3–7 days
Compression garment: Worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and support contour
Final results: Visible gradually over 1–3 months as swelling resolves

Some patients combine liposuction with a tummy tuck, neck lift, or body lift for a more
comprehensive result. We’ll walk you through all options.

Common Questions

Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?

No. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment. It is best suited for patients who are at or near their target weight and want to reduce localized pockets of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.

Will fat come back?

The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently removed. However, the remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, which may change your results. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your contours.

Can liposuction tighten loose skin?

Liposuction primarily removes excess fat rather than tightening loose skin. Skin elasticity affects how well the skin contracts after treatment. If significant skin laxity is present, your surgeon may recommend combining liposuction with a lift or another skin-tightening treatment.

What about non-surgical options?

Yes. Forsyth Plastic Surgery offers non-surgical fat reduction with CoolSculpting® at The VISTA Med Spa for patients seeking mild contouring without surgery. During your consultation, we can help determine which option best fits your goals and treatment area.

When will I see my liposuction results?

You may notice an improvement in your contours soon after liposuction, but swelling can temporarily obscure your results. Your shape will continue to improve as swelling resolves, with results becoming more apparent over the following weeks and months.

How long do liposuction results last?

Liposuction results can be long-lasting because the treated fat cells are permanently removed. However, significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells and affect your contours. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results.

Can liposuction be combined with another procedure?

Yes. Liposuction may be combined with procedures such as a tummy tuck, neck lift, or body lift when appropriate. The right combination depends on your anatomy, goals, overall health, and safety considerations, and your surgeon will recommend an individualized treatment plan.
