Are you after a more defined body contour? If you're dealing with stubborn fat that is resistant to exercise and diet, Southern Plastic & Reconstructive Surgical Institute (SPRSI) provides safe and personalized treatment plans to help you achieve your goals with liposuction in Nashville, TN. Expect discreet care and compassionate guidance from Dr. Nathan Brought and his board-certified team.
Refine Your Shape and Restore Your Confidence
Stubborn fat deposits may remain despite regular exercise and careful dieting, which can feel discouraging and limiting. When these areas don't respond to your routine, liposuction offers a precise, effective way to achieve a more contoured shape and regain your confidence. Also known as fat removal surgery or lipo, liposuction removes excess fat to slim and reshape targeted body regions, improving definition and proportion.
Is Liposuction Your Solution?
If you're considering liposuction, Dr. Brought and his staff at SPRSI will review your health history and desired aesthetic outcomes to help you decide whether it's the right treatment.
Ideal Candidates for Fat Removal Surgery
The best candidates for liposuction are in overall good health and have realistic expectations of what this surgery can achieve. Ideal profiles include:
- Being at or near one's goal weight.
- Having firm and elastic skin.
- Targeting defined pockets of unwanted fat.
Although age is not a disqualifier, age-related changes — such as reduced skin elasticity — may affect suitability. Older patients may require additional procedures to treat skin laxity. Ultimately, candidacy depends more on skin quality and health than age.
Common Treatment Areas
Lipo can help if you want to remove fat in the following areas:
- Abdomen and waist
- Hips and buttocks
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Chest area
- Ankles and calves
- Cheeks, neck, and chin
Your Liposuction Journey at SPRSI
Here's what to expect with liposuction in Nashville at SPRSI, step-by-step:
1. The Consultation
Your visit begins with a private consultation with Dr. Brought to discuss your concerns and goals. During this time, he will assess your health, target areas, and skin quality, then review your options — whether that's lipo or alternatives like a tummy tuck. Together, you'll consider factors like suitability and cost. If liposuction is confirmed as your ideal procedure, you'll decide on a surgery date and receive guidance on preparation.
2. The Procedure
Liposuction is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort during the procedure. Office performed liposuction may be an option under local anesthesia for smaller areas of concern. Dr. Brought begins the surgery by injecting a fluid containing medicine into fatty tissue areas to help control bleeding and postoperative pain. He'll make tiny incisions in inconspicuous areas, inserting a cannula to suction out fat cells. Once Dr. Brought has removed the fat cells, he will close the incisions with absorbable sutures and apply dressings and compression garments to reduce swelling.
As this process also involves removing fluids, you'll also typically receive close monitoring and intravenous fluids during surgery to avoid dehydration.
3. Recovery and Results
After surgery, the SPRSI team will provide clear aftercare instructions to support safe healing and help you return to regular activity. This will typically include guidance on:
- Compression garments.
- Incision care.
- Gentle massages.
This way, Dr. Brought ensures you have the proper recovery knowledge and tools. While recovery timelines vary, patients tend to see full results three to four months after surgery.
