Removing fat beneath skin that has lost elasticity produces a deflated result. Your surgeon evaluates skin quality before and lets you know if a different procedure would serve you better.

What Liposuction Treats
Reshape the Areas That Never Respond
Liposuction in South Jordan from Avant Plastics removes fat from specific areas of the body through small incisions, reshaping contours. Dr. Howland and Dr. Maglić treat one region or several during a single procedure, based on your proportions and skin quality.
What It Treats:
-
Excess fat across the abdomen and waist
-
Fullness at the hips and flanks
-
Fat deposits along the thighs and knees
-
Upper arm fullness
-
Fat beneath the chin and along the neck
-
Deposits that stay unchanged despite diet and exercise

Complementary Procedures
Frequently Asked Questions
Skin quality and fat volume determine if you’re an ideal candidate. Patients with firm, elastic skin see the smoothest results, because skin has to redrape over the new contour beneath it. In addition, if you are at a stable weight, in good general health, and do not use nicotine, you are likely a candidate. A consultation is required to confirm it.
No. Liposuction reshapes specific areas and is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for weight loss. The volume that can be safely removed in one procedure is limited. Patients achieve better results when addressing significant weight loss before receiving liposuction in South Jordan.
The fat cells your surgeon removes do not grow back or relocate. Remaining fat cells throughout your body can still enlarge if you gain weight, and because treated areas hold fewer of them, weight gain afterward shows up more in untreated areas. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the contour.
No. Skin molds to the contour beneath it, so elasticity determines the outcome. Skin that has already lost firmness can look loose once fat is removed. If that describes you, your surgeon may recommend a skin removal or tightening procedure to complement liposuction.
No. Cellulite comes from fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull downward. Stretch marks are a change within the skin itself. We offer a separate cellulite treatment for patients whose concern is dimpling rather than volume.
Yes, frequently. The procedure itself runs 1 to 3 hours under general anesthesia depending on how many areas we treat, which leaves room to pair it with abdominal or breast surgery. We can also transfer the fat removed during liposuction in South Jordan for natural enhancements to other areas.
