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)
- Treats numerous body parts

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Moradian performed an incredible job! He’s one of the sweetest and compassionate doctors/surgeons I’ve ever encountered. He made me feel incredibly comfortable and relieved, putting all my anxieties to rest. I underwent a transaxillary breast augmentation, and I’m thrilled with the results. All of my friends and family are blown away by my outcome. I have a new sense of confidence that has changed my life. While I was in my recovery room, Dr. Moradian not only took care of me but also spoke to my family and answered all their questions. He exudes a sense of safety and ensures that you receive the best possible outcomes. He took the time to personally check up on me and kindly encouraged me to reach out to him. Dr. Moradian genuinely cares about your concerns and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I am so fortunate to have found him!
Simon was phenomenal. I decided at age 16 to gauge my ears and stretched them far beyond the point of them closing on their own. I am getting married and wanted to be able to wear regular earrings for the first time in 20 years. Simon came to rescue after I was quoted waaaaay too much from another surgeon that basically wanted to cut my ears that day without letting them heal on their own and told me he could inject them with filler after they healed (like, WHAT?) Simon was so thorough and patient during our consultation and even more so during the actual procedure. He let my ears close naturally for a while to avoid removing too much tissue so they would look normal and healthy after they healed. EVERYONE is shocked (including me) that they look so good. You would never know that I had enormous holes in my ears for 20 years. 10/10 recommend for any procedure.
Dr. Schierle and his team are THE BEST!! I got breast augmentation on January 9th. It’s Perfect! Love my new look! I feel more confidence now than before. Thank you again for your best work.
Had DCF rhinoplasty with Dr. Schierle, Dr. Moradian, and Monica in Dec of 2024. Definitely THE best experience I had ! The consultation was personalized, you could tell they are some of the best surgeons in the game. I never had any surgeries, so I was very nervous. But they made the process so smooth. I loved the results so much. They kept my natural beauty and elevated the new nose to complement my face better. Even some of my close friends wanted to book a consultation with them after seeing my new nose! 100000/10 recommend!
Amazing experience with Robyn for all of my injection and skincare needs! The staff is amazing and highly skilled. The entire staff is super welcoming and warm. I always recommend to my friends and family!
