Liposuction at Scottsdale Plastic Surgery is performed by Dr. James M. Nachbar, a double board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience in Scottsdale, Arizona. Liposuction is an established surgical method for removing focal fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise — most commonly on the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, arms, back, and submental region (double chin). The procedure uses a small hollow cannula connected to a surgical vacuum to suction fat cells from a targeted area through tiny incisions after the tissue has been infiltrated with tumescent fluid containing local anaesthetic and epinephrine, which reduces bleeding and provides post-operative analgesia. Dr. Nachbar's approach to liposuction emphasises even fat removal and smooth contour blending at the treated zone's edges to minimise surface irregularities — a common concern when aggressive, non-uniform suction is applied. Liposuction is frequently combined with other body contouring procedures at the practice: it is routinely incorporated into the No-Drain Tummy Tuck to address the flanks, it may accompany an arm lift or thigh lift to debulk before skin excision, and it is used in Brazilian butt lift procedures to harvest fat for gluteal augmentation. The practice's all-inclusive published price range of $5,800 to $10,995 reflects the variation in operating time and complexity between a single-area treatment and a multi-zone contouring case. Liposuction does not treat overlying skin laxity — patients with significant loose skin following weight loss or ageing may benefit from a combined skin excision procedure. Recovery involves wearing a compression garment over the treated areas continuously for the first two weeks and for twelve hours per day for four to six weeks thereafter; most swelling resolves by three months and final contour results are visible at six months.
