What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps sculpt and reshape your body by removing stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Whether you're looking to define your waistline, flatten your abdomen, or contour areas like your thighs, arms, or neck, liposuction offers a safe and effective way to achieve a slimmer, more balanced silhouette.
At SOMA Face and Body, we use advanced liposuction techniques to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime and long-lasting confidence.

Is Liposuction Right for Me?
Liposuction is ideal for patients who:
- Are close to their goal weight but have localized fat deposits
- Have good skin elasticity and muscle tone
- Are in overall good health
- Want permanent fat removal in specific areas
- Understand that liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate your body, and help determine if liposuction is the best approach for your needs.
What to Expect
Consultation & Planning You’ll meet with Dr. Pittas to discuss your concerns and create a personalized surgical plan.
Procedure Liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and your preferences. Small incisions are made, and a thin tube (cannula) is used to suction out unwanted fat.
Recovery
- Most patients return to work within a few days
- Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and support healing
- Light activity is encouraged; strenuous exercise is postponed for a few weeks
- Final results become visible as swelling subsides
