Liposuction at Seattle Plastic Surgery Center provides targeted fat removal from areas resistant to diet and exercise, performed by Dr. Craig Jonov and Dr. Tarak H. Patel in the clinic's JCAHO-accredited surgical suite. The procedure uses a thin hollow cannula introduced through small incisions (typically 3–5 mm) connected to a surgical aspirator. The surgeon manually moves the cannula through the subcutaneous fat layer in a fan-shaped pattern, breaking up and aspirating fat cells. The technique achieves contouring by selectively reducing fat volume in the targeted zone while preserving the overlying skin and superficial fat layer needed for natural contour transitions. Common treatment areas include the abdomen (upper and lower), flanks and love handles, inner and outer thighs, medial knees, upper arms, bra rolls and back fat, and the submental area for double chin reduction. Fat harvested during liposuction can be processed and reinjected in procedures such as the Brazilian butt lift (BBL), available at $4,995 and performed at the same facility, offering a way to simultaneously reduce unwanted fat deposits and enhance contour in a target area. Liposuction is most commonly combined with tummy tuck at this practice, where it is integrated into the Avelar technique or performed as an adjunct to the standard abdominoplasty to treat the flanks and upper abdomen for comprehensive waist definition. The entry price of $2,995 covers the first treatment area; multi-area cases are quoted at consultation. Recovery involves a compression garment worn for 4–6 weeks and typically 1–2 weeks of limited activity.
