The Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. Dr. Maffi makes discreet incisions in the targeted treatment area and uses a thin cannula to gently remove excess fat. The technique allows for precise sculpting and minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues. The procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Patients are closely monitored after surgery and are released to a caregiver on the same day.
Recovery & Results for Liposuction
Following liposuction, it is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. We recommend wearing a compression garment to support your healing and help reduce swelling. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume work within one to two weeks, depending on the physical demands of their job. Dr. Maffi and the team at Maffi Plastic Surgery provide detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support to monitor your results and ensure a smooth recovery.
Liposuction provides long-lasting results by permanently removing fat cells from the targeted areas. It is important to maintain a stable weight to maintain your results over time.

Contact UsWhat is Liposuction Surgery?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and neck. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Terry Maffi uses advanced liposuction techniques to create natural-looking results. It is essential to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but a method to target and contour areas where fat is difficult to eliminate through traditional weight loss techniques.
Candidates for Liposuction Surgery
You may be a candidate for liposuction if you are close to your ideal weight but have areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates for liposuction have good skin elasticity and muscle tone and are in overall good health. During your consultation at Maffi Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Terry Maffi will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan fitting your unique needs and goals.
