Lipoplasty (Liposuction + Skin Tightening)

Hate stubborn fat and loose skin but refuse the long scars of a tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift, or facelift? Lipoplasty melts fat and shrinks skin through 3 mm entry points—perfected by Leva’s physician-led family practice since 1986.

What Is Lipoplasty?

Lipoplasty fuses power-assisted liposuction with heat-driven collagen contraction to maximize tightening without cutting skin. Common zones—neck (double-chin), upper arms, abdomen, flanks, inner/outer thighs, and bra-line back—can be treated in one visit. Because no skin is excised, recovery is brisk: most people return to desk work in 3–5 days and full workouts by day 10.

Ideal for: healthy adults who want lift-like firmness without lift-like scars.

How Lipoplasty Works

check

Prep & anesthesia

Your board-certified Leva surgeon numbs the area with local tumescent anesthesia, keeping you awake and breathing on your own—no IV, general anesthesia, or outside anesthesiologist required.

check

Fat removal

Micro-cannulas gently suction fat while protecting nerves and blood vessels.

check

Skin tightening

Controlled radio-frequency or laser energy contracts existing collagen and stimulates new production for a smoother, firmer drape.

check

Duration & after-care

Most sessions take 1–3 hours in our private, in-office surgical suite; you leave wearing a discreet compression garment.

check

Healing timeline

Shower the next day, drive in 48 hours, resume workouts at day 10; follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months.

FAQs - Lipoplasty

How much does Lipoplasty cost?
Treating one area—neck, upper arms, abdomen, back, or thighs—starts at $7,500. The fee covers your board-certified Leva surgeon, private in-office suite, compression garment, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, monthly payments can start as low as $150 – $250 after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual results may vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Because we use only, you stay awlocal tumescent anesthesia ake and usually leave about one hour after the procedure. An adult must drive you home.
Will I need special after-care?
Plan to wear a discreet compression garment for 1 – 3 weeks, keep entry points clean, and start gentle walking on day 1. Most patients drive in 48 hours and resume light workouts by day 10.
Do I need lymphatic massages after Lipoplasty?
Generally no—our energy-assisted technique minimizes fluid buildup, so professional lymphatic massage is rarely required. Your surgeon may recommend light self-massage or a brief series of manual treatments if swelling lingers, but most patients see excellent results without formal massage therapy.
How is Lipoplasty different from a tummy tuck, arm-lift, thigh-lift, or neck-lift?
Lipoplasty removes fat and tightens skin without cutting it away, so you avoid long scars and general anesthesia. Results are more modest than full-excision lifts and work best for mild-to-moderate laxity in one area per session.
Does Lipoplasty hurt, and what anesthesia is used?
Most patients feel only vibration and pressure thanks to local tumescent anesthesia. Soreness peaks during the first 24 – 48 hours and is usually managed with prescription pain relievers followed by acetaminophen.
Will I have noticeable scars?
Only 2 – 3 mm entry points, hidden in natural creases; they typically fade to skin tone within six months. No long incisions are made.
How long do results last?
Fat cells removed are gone permanently, but remaining cells can enlarge if you gain weight. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy habits helps preserve your contour (individual results may vary).
Who is not a good candidate?
You may need a traditional lift or staged plan if you have significant loose skin, uncontrolled medical conditions, unrealistic expectations, or smoke and cannot quit. Your surgeon will advise the safest option.
Can multiple areas be treated in one visit?
We typically treat one area at a time for optimal safety and precision. If you want several zones improved, your surgeon can outline a staged plan.
