What Is Liposuction?
No matter how much effort you put in at the gym, you might still struggle with pockets of stubborn fat that hold back your confidence. Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery offers the most advanced techniques to effectively eliminate fat from different areas of the body. Liposuction is a body reshaping procedure that reduces fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks to produce a more defined appearance. It can also be combined with other body contouring solutions (like tummy tuck surgery) to create a more complete transformation. Schedule a consultation at our Chicago, IL plastic surgery practice to discover the results you can achieve with liposuction.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia. To start, your surgeon will make a very small incision near the treatment area. A cannula (a hollow medical tube) will be inserted and used to break up fatty tissue before vacuuming it out. After removing the desired amount of fat, we'll close up the incision and move you to a recovery room for monitoring. Depending on the amount of fat to be removed and the number of areas we're treating, your liposuction procedure could take 1 – 3 hours. Before releasing you, we'll discuss aftercare instructions and arrange a follow-up appointment at our Chicago, IL office to make sure the healing process is going smoothly.
What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?
When diet and exercise aren't enough to get the results you want, liposuction at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery offers a quick and comfortable way to remove excess fat and achieve your desired figure. Some of the benefits of this procedure include:
- Minimal scarring
- Targets health issues, including gynecomastia and lipodystrophy syndrome, among others

- Improves self-image and confidence
- May improve health by lowering body mass index (BMI)

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I can’t say enough, what a great experience I had with Dr. Simon Moradian. His work is outstanding, he is caring, patient and kind. I had an upper blepharoplasty, it was easy, painless and I was back to playing tennis is 9 days (don’t tell him). If you are debating, don’t, it is a good thing. Dr. Moradian is a great doctor to trust and be under his care. Hope you are as fortunate as I was.
Dr. Fine is simply amazing! I started this journey full of fear and uncertainty, and came out thrilled with the result. I never expected that my breasts would look better post mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, then my natural ones yet here I am, staring in the mirror every day with awe. I am super thankful to Dr. Fine and his team: wonderful Barbara, Monika and Kat and all the beautiful ladies who welcomed me with smile every time. 5 stars!
I had surgery on my chin and the results are amazing. Dr. Moradian made things easy and painless. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone near the Chicagoland area looking for a good plastic surgeon.
Absolutely the best experience at Northwestern! Rachel is truly AMAZING, and I’m incredibly grateful for her patience and expertise at every visit. She takes the time to carefully assess my needs and consistently delivers results that look beautifully natural. Her precision and technique are unmatched, and I’m forever thankful for the confidence she’s given me. Rachel’s knowledge and understanding of her craft are evident—she knows exactly what’s needed for the best results. What truly sets Rachel apart is her commitment to enhancing natural beauty with a personalized touch. She never pushes unnecessary treatments and always offers honest, thoughtful recommendations that highlight my best features. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!!
When my smartwatch started showing blood oxygen levels below 90%, I knew I needed to do something about my blocked nasal passages. What was holding me back was finding a specialist who had a similar view of the balance between form and function. I knew I needed to breathe better but I also needed reassurances that my nose would not look the worse for it. It was my lucky day when I walked through the doors of the NSPSMEDSPA and met with Dr. Shierle. He was calm, funny, honest, and supportive. He understood and had explanations for my symptoms and options for solutions. His reassurances based on experience were thoughtful and on point. His depth of knowledge was beyond impressive. September 2024, Dr. Shierle performed my septoplasty. It has been life altering. My oxygen levels are solidly above 95%. My sleep the best it’s been in memory. And although it might be because I’m no longer scrunching it up to get air, my nose looks its best ever. I would be remiss if I did not also thank the NSPSMEDSPA staff. Appointments, insurance and paperwork were all taken care expertly and with a smile. Thank you everyone.
