Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. today.
Also known as “liposculpture” or “suction lipectomy,” this technique is used to sculpt the body by removing undesirable fatty deposits from areas including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck. The procedure is performed through small hidden areas and skin creases. Suction is then applied to the cannula, and the fatty tissue is removed while the surrounding tissues are preserved, making liposuction a fantastic sculpting procedure.
Our Gainesville plastic surgeons, Dr. John W. Tyrone and Dr. David Mateo, have the experience needed to make you feel safe and comfortable during your liposuction. Schedule your consultation today!

At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we perform high-definition liposuction with liposculpture.
Different devices are available for skin tightening including power-assisted, radio-frequency coupled, and laser devices. Depending on the region of the body and the amount of desired and predicted fatty tissue to be removed, our doctors will use tumescent or superwet high-definition liposuction. Dr. John W. Tyrone and Dr. David Mateo de Acosta perform SAFE power-assisted liposuction to achieve the best results in fat removal, body sculpturing, and skin tightening.

SAFE liposuction stands for Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equilibration. During this procedure, our doctors will first separate the fat in the areas to be treated.
This will be done with our state-of-the-art generation power-assisted liposuction device. Once the area has been separated, the fat will then be aspirated until a pleasant contour is achieved. During the last step of the procedure, our doctors will treat the surface of the treated areas on the equilibration portion, achieving a smooth contour and preventing the dreaded "lumpy bumpy" feel.

Superwet liposuction and tumescent liposuction are performed through the injection of fluid containing local anesthetic and a vasoconstrictor solution to prevent bleeding and minimize bruising after surgery.
Depending on the region of the body and the predicted amount of fat to be extracted, we will use either technique to ensure your best result and safety during and after the operation.
During your consultation, Dr. John W. Tyrone or Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will develop a personalized plan of high-definition liposuction to suit your body and guide you on how to achieve the best possible result.
They will recommend adjunct procedures that could also be bundled and complement the liposuction and liposculpture procedures. During your final pre-operative consultation, your surgeon will take pictures and show you their treatment plan so you fully understand the procedure and expected result.

On the day of your high-definition liposuction procedure, you will arrive at our surgery center and will be greeted by our nurses and surgical technologists.
Dr. John W. Tyrone or Dr. Mateo de Acosta will review the procedure and perform the skin markings that will serve as a road map to sculpt your body with high-definition liposuction.
In the operating room, you will then receive intravenous anesthesia, as well as tumescent anesthesia. The procedure will be performed paying attention to the smallest details and ensuring a pleasing and smooth contour.
You will awaken in the recovery room with a compression garment. Your surgical team will give you detailed instructions regarding your post-operative care and instructions for your garment.
High-definition liposuction and liposculpture are outpatient procedures that allow you to return home on the same day as your surgery.
After your operation, your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to review the recovery process in detail.
During the first few days, you can expect some drainage along with general discomfort and swelling, which may last for several weeks. To minimize swelling and promote skin contraction, you will need to wear a compression garment day and night as instructed. We also recommend early lymphatic massage to enhance your recovery and achieve optimal results; he will suggest a trusted provider for this service during your postoperative visits.
Our experienced and knowledgeable staff at North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center will provide you with comprehensive instructions and guidance to ensure a smooth recovery following your high-definition liposuction procedure.

Liposuction is a versatile body contouring procedure that can target various areas to help patients achieve a more sculpted appearance.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, and flanks, where stubborn fat often lingers despite diet and exercise. Other areas that benefit from liposuction can include the arms, back, and even smaller regions like the neck or beneath the chin. This customizable procedure allows patients to reduce excess fat in specific areas, providing a smoother and more defined shape.

We elevate our body contouring results by incorporating the advanced AYON ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) system into all applicable liposuction procedures at North Florida Plastic Surgery.
This technique represents an evolution of traditional liposuction, using specialized ultrasonic waves to break apart and liquefy fat cells before they are removed. This sound energy allows surgeons to remove fat more smoothly while protecting surrounding tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
By combining advanced AYON technology with surgical precision, UAL enables our plastic surgeons to sculpt more defined contours and reduce trauma during the fat removal process. Learn more about AYON and how ultrasound-assisted liposuction can help you reach your desired results.
