Liposuction in Miami, FL
Trusted Care for Your Transformation
What is the liposuction procedure like?
The liposuction procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. Once you’re comfortably asleep, Dr. Llorente makes very small incisions near the targeted areas. He then inserts a thin tube called a cannula, which loosens and suctions out excess fat. Our power-assisted liposuction (PAL) offers enhanced precision and efficiency by using rapid vibrations to break up fat cells, making the removal process smoother and less invasive. The entire procedure typically takes 1-3 hours, and you can return home the same day. Throughout, Dr. Llorente’s experienced team ensures your comfort and safety, providing white-glove service from start to finish.

Common treatment areas include love handles, muffin tops, saddlebags, and stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. It’s important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but rather a body contouring treatment designed to enhance your natural shape.

- Thighs and hips: To slim down saddlebags and enhance leg contours.
- Arms: To reduce fat and achieve leaner upper arms.
- Neck and chin: For a more sculpted jawline and reduced double chin.

Trusted Expertise
Am I a candidate for liposuction?
Liposuction is a good fit for those who are close to their ideal weight but have localized fat deposits that won’t go away despite a healthy lifestyle. You should be in good overall health, have adequate skin elasticity, and maintain realistic expectations for the procedure. Liposuction is not recommended for those with significant medical conditions, poor skin elasticity, or those seeking a substitute for weight loss. Dr. Llorente will assess your unique case to determine whether liposuction is the right choice for you.
Full Support for Your Journey
Liposuction Recovery
After your liposuction procedure, you’ll experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treatment area, which can be managed with medication and proper aftercare. You may need to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support your new contours. Most patients can return to work in about a week, but it’s important to avoid strenuous activity for at least 2-3 weeks. Dr. Llorente will provide you with detailed aftercare guidelines to promote optimal healing and ensure you achieve the best possible results.
