What is liposuction?
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is the removal of excess fat from the figure. Liposuction can be performed on nearly every area of the body, especially those notorious for storing stubborn fat. For many patients, liposuction is a welcome solution after years of diet and exercise. Although liposuction is not a replacement for a healthy diet and physical activity, it is an excellent way of eliminating fat pockets that just won’t seem to budge regardless of how physically fit a patient is. After undergoing liposuction in Tampa, most patients can expect improved bodily proportion and slimmer contouring. Some of the areas where liposuction is most effective include:
- Chin and neck
- Arms
- Chest, front bra roll, and back bra roll
- Abdomen
- Hips (love handles)
- Thighs
- Back
- Calves
- Buttocks
- Waist (muffin top)
- Inner knee
- Ankles
- Pubic area
Liposuction is the most common plastic surgery procedure in America. Though liposuction can be performed alone, it is often paired with other cosmetic procedures, such as tummy tucks, facelifts, and breast augmentations/reductions.

What is the procedure like?
First, Dr. Markelov explains the procedure to the patient and listens to them describe their ideal results. Then he considers their medical history and determines if liposuction will help them reach their body sculpting goals.
A long narrow tube, or cannula, is used to dislodge fat via small pokes near the targeted areas. Once the fat is dislodged, it is removed using a surgical vacuum. Most liposuction procedures last between one and four hours depending on the number of treatment areas.
Who can benefit the most from liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for liposuction if:
- You are relatively healthy
- You struggle with disproportionate fat distribution unrelated to weight or physical fitness
- You have relatively firm skin and muscle tone
