What Is Liposuction?
It's a struggle many of us are familiar with. Despite your best efforts at diet and exercise, there are still stubborn pockets of fat holding you back from feeling comfortable with how you look. Iteld Plastic Surgery is proud to offer the most advanced methods to effectively rid fat from areas of concern on the body. Surgical liposuction is a body contouring treatment that reduces pockets of fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks to produce a more defined appearance. This cosmetic procedure can be blended to treat several body parts. During your initial visit to our office in Chicago, IL, Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our team will talk with you about your goals and lifestyle before building a personalized treatment plan so you can reach your aesthetic goals. Our goal is for you to feel and look amazing.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction treatments at Iteld Plastic Surgery are usually done with an automated system (power-assisted liposuction) to allow Dr. Iteld to achieve more precise results. To start, we'll inject a sterile solution into the treatment area to firm up the fat and ease your recovery process. A very small incision will be made in your skin, and a thin, hollow tube called a cannula will be inserted. Our power-assisted liposuction system automatically moves the cannula to dislodge tough areas of fat before suctioning it out. Once the fat deposits have been removed, we'll close the incision. Depending on the details of your treatment plan, the harvested fat may be purified and used to add natural volume to other areas of the body, such as the breasts or buttocks. Based on the amount of sections being treated, your surgery may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. In the separate recovery area, your post-op nurse will assist you with managing any discomfort and look after your treated areas until you are discharged. Thanks to our narcotics-free approach to pain management, you should feel relatively little discomfort after your liposuction treatment, though some bruising and swelling are normal.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
Liposuction can be a great fat removal solution for men and women who have struggled to attain their desired figure through normal diet and exercise, offering benefits such as:
- Helps create a more symmetrical physique
- Treats numerous areas of the body
- Removes fat cells entirely
- Addresses medical concerns like gynecomastia and lipodystrophy syndrome, among others
- Boosts self-image and confidence
- Recovery is minimal
- Minor scarring
- Slims and trims the shape

Achieved the natural look I wanted - I am very impressed with Dr. Iteld and his office. I had both breast augmentation and liposuction. First of all, he is an excellent surgeon who listened to my concerns and wishes. He achieved the natural look I wanted. Secondly, his approach to an opioid free breast augmentation helped control my pain better than a friend who had opioids for her surgery. Thirdly, I was very impressed that his staff walked me through each step and prepared me for the post op course- the pain, recovery, and recommended actions to achieve the best outcome. As a healthcare worker, I know it’s better to prepare patients for both the good and bad outcomes and what to expect for pain, swelling, nausea, and recovery. However most surgeons gloss over this and patients are surprised and upset when they have expected minor problems. When I had postop concerns, they were addressed quickly. I appreciated Dr. Iteld’s bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I cannot recommend him enough!

I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !

How much does liposuction cost?
Your cost for liposuction will vary depending on the technique used and how many areas are being addressed. In your consultation, Dr. Iteld will create your custom treatment plan to meet your needs and goals, taking into consideration your budget. Once your plan is developed, estimated costs can be discussed. To make your surgery easy to afford, Iteld Plastic Surgery accepts several payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
What about nonsurgical liposuction?
Thanks to modern advancements, there are many nonsurgical options to reduce body fat. Although nonsurgical treatments may help some patients reduce mild to moderate fat pockets, liposuction is best for most people. Liposuction surgery delivers more dramatic and consistent results. Ask Dr. Iteld about nonsurgical lipo during your consultation. He can explain the benefits and drawbacks of all your options and help you decide which is best for you.
Will I have scars?
Since a facelift is a surgical procedure, incisions will need to be made and stitched. This will leave scars; however, Dr. Iteld does his best to reduce their appearance. This includes making thin incisions in the natural folds of your body or less visible areas. After your surgery, Dr. Iteld or a team member will explain how to care for your stitches, so they heal properly and eventually fade.
Will my results last?
Before you have liposuction surgery, it's important to be committed to maintaining your results. Although liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in your body, you can still lose and gain weight. Dr. Iteld suggests that you be at or close to your ideal weight before having liposuction surgery. Afterward, it is best to remain within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Pregnancy after liposuction will also affect your results; however, a second surgery, like a mommy makeover, can be performed to refresh your body.
