Refine offers advanced, high-definition liposuction performed by Dr. Gabrick to sculpt, slim, and contour targeted areas of the body, helping you achieve a more confident, naturally refined physique.
Will the fat come back?
If you maintain your weight, the removed fat cells will not return. However, if you gain weight in other areas of your body, it can alter proportions.
How much fat can be removed at once?
Depending on your health and treatment areas, up to 5 liters (approximately 11 pounds) can be safely removed in a single session.
Is liposuction painful?
Most patients report mild to moderate soreness, similar to muscle soreness. Discomfort is easily managed with medication.
Will I have scars?
Incisions are very small and placed in discreet areas. Scarring is minimal and typically fades over time.
How soon can I work out?
Light activity is encouraged early on, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 2–4 weeks.
Can liposuction tighten loose skin?
Liposuction does not tighten skin. If skin laxity is a concern, we may recommend additional procedures like BodyTite or a lift.
How long before I see results?
Swelling takes time to subside. You’ll notice improvement within weeks, but final results appear around 3 months post-op.
Is liposuction permanent?
Yes, the fat removed is permanently gone. However, healthy lifestyle habits are key to maintaining results.
Can liposuction treat cellulite?
Liposuction is not designed to treat cellulite. We offer other treatments for that concern, such as skin tightening or resurfacing.
What are the risks?
Risks include bleeding, infection, contour irregularities, numbness, fluid buildup, and blood clots. Dr. Gabrick takes all precautions to minimize these risks and will review them in detail with you.
