Liposuction - Get Excess Fat Removed Near You
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat from the body. It uses a thin tube called a cannula to suction out fat from fatty tissue. The 3DHD liposuction, we do at Royale Aesthetics and Beauty, is a more advanced method. It uses detailed imaging to shape the body more precisely, creating a more defined look.
There are different types of liposuction. Ultrasonic liposuction uses sound waves to break down fat cells. Laser-assisted liposuction uses laser energy to melt fat and tighten skin. Power-assisted liposuction uses a vibrating cannula to make fat removal easier and faster.
Target Fat Type Removal From Liposuction
Liposuction mainly removes subcutaneous fat, which is the fat just under the skin. Some people wonder if it can remove visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat that surrounds internal organs, and it cannot be removed with liposuction. The procedure focuses on getting rid of fat pockets under the skin, which helps create a more contoured look, rather than removing visceral fat.
Factors To Consider Before Liposuction
Before approving someone for liposuction, we look at several factors. We conduct a thorough consultation, which includes a physical exam and a review of the medical history. We measure the target body areas to see how much fat can be safely removed. We also consider the person’s weight, age, overall health, and any medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease.
In addition to health conditions, weight, and age, skin elasticity is important. We also take into account lifestyle factors like smoking, unhealthy eating habits, and a lack of physical activity.

Testimonials
I’d give 10 stars to Dr. Ivestor and Angela. I recently had the pleasure of undergoing the 3DHD Lipsuction around my midsection and love handles at Royale Aesthetics, and I can honestly say it was an amazing experience from start to finish Walking in, the staff made me feel welcomed and cared for. They were incredibly gentle and kind, taking the time to answer all my questions and ensure I was comfortable and “anxietyless”, lol if that is a word even.
What truly surprised me was how painless the entire procedure was. I woke up feeling great and was even able to drive myself home afterward! I experienced almost zero pain, which was beyond my expectations.
The follow-up care was exceptional as well. Doc Ivester personally texted me to check on how I was doing, which really made me feel valued as a patient. Angela helped me get comfy and ready. I know she made this process working along side Doc smooth and carefree. Not to mention putting me to sleep for the entire procedure and doing the monitoring was so key.
I can’t say enough good things, i know that sounds so cliche, about Royale Aesthetics. The location is beautiful, and the treatment I received was top-notch….there you go. I am thrilled with my experience and highly recommend them to anyone considering a procedure liposuction. It saved me considerably over everywhere else too. Thank you for everything!

Compression Garment For Liposuction Recovery
Wearing a compression garment is important for recovery after liposuction. It helps reduce swelling by applying pressure, aids in fluid reabsorption, and lowers the chance of complications. The garment also supports your skin as it adjusts to your new body shape, improving your overall appearance. Doctors usually recommend wearing the compression garment for several weeks after the surgery.
Compression Garment For Targeted Area Improvement
Compression garments are made for specific body areas. If you have liposuction on your abdomen, you will wear a garment that covers your belly. It applies constant pressure to that area.
For thigh liposuction, you will use a different garment that supports your thighs and helps reduce swelling there. The same applies for arms or any other treated area.
These garments fit tightly and provide the right level of compression. They help you heal, reduce swelling, and support even healing of your skin.
Compression garments can feel uncomfortable at first, but they are important for your healing process.
Cost of Liposuction
The price for liposuction generally falls between $4000 and $8850, depending on the specific areas treated and area you are getting treated in. Forexample, liposuction in Utah is affordable compared to in Newyork city, or expensive districts. Liposuction combined with skin tightening tends to be pricier, as it helps prevent sagging skin. The cost is generally in range of $11000 to $16000. For the most precise estimate, it’s advisable to obtain a personalized quote from a nearby clinic!
Liposuction is not the best option for losing weight. It works best for people who have a stable weight and want to remove specific areas of fat that don’t go away with diet and exercise.
The amount of weight you can lose from liposuction is usually modest, typically around 5 to 10 pounds, because the amount of fat removed is relatively small.
Liposuction and Cellulite
Liposuction is not meant to remove cellulite. However, it can make areas with cellulite look better. Cellulite forms because of fat deposits. Since liposuction removes fat, it can help improve the appearance of cellulite.
Skin Tightening After Liposuction
After liposuction, the skin may or may not tighten well. This depends on several factors: age, skin elasticity, and how much fat was removed. Younger people with stretchy skin usually see better skin tightening. However, older individuals or those with less elastic skin, especially if a lot of fat is taken out, might need extra procedures to tighten the skin.
If you choose not to have skin tightening treatment, your skin may still tighten naturally over time. However, this can take several months to a year or more. You might see the final results after about six months to a year, but it varies for each person. This is why 3DHD Liposuction is best, removing fat as well as tightening skin at Royale Aesthetics Utah.
If your skin doesn’t tighten enough on its own, you might want to consider skin tightening treatment. It is a good idea to talk to your surgeon to find the best option for your needs.
Liposuction Recovery Timelines, Age and Other Factors
Age affects recovery, even for healthy people. Generally, younger individuals in their 30s may recover faster than those in their 40s or 50s. This is mainly because younger people have more elastic skin and better healing abilities.
For someone in their 30s, recovery might take about 1 to 2 weeks for light activities. It may take around 4 to 6 weeks for a full recovery. For someone in their 40s, it could take 2 to 3 weeks for light activities. Similarly, about 6 to 8 weeks for full recovery. If someone is in their 50s, recovery might take 3 weeks for light activities and 8 weeks or more for full recovery.
These are general guidelines. Actual recovery can vary based on the liposuction procedure, overall health, and how well they follow post operative instructions.
Why Laser Liposuction ? Comparison With Other Procedures
Although liposuction is more invasive and requires surgical incisions, it removes fat chunks from parts of the body in larger volumes. Thus, making it a better option for people with excess fat and in the higher BMI range.
If we compare liposuction with other fat removal procedures like CoolSculpting or microneedling, it is more result-oriented and can reduce a huge amount of fat cells in one session.
Cool sculpting, which melts fat in the target area, requires multiple sessions. It results in a quarter of fat removal compared to that of liposuction in each session. This is a huge difference and the main reason why obese people with excessive weight go for laser liposuction.
Pain After Liposuction
After liposuction, most people feel moderate discomfort instead of severe pain. You may experience soreness, swelling, and bruising for the first few days, lasting about one to two weeks. The discomfort usually gets better by the end of the first week.
You should take it easy for the first few days to a week. Light walking is good to encourage blood flow, but you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for about 3 to 4 weeks. Most people can go back to work within a week, especially if their job isn’t physically demanding.
In about 2 to 3 weeks, most people can return to normal activities, though some swelling may still be there. It can take a few months to see the full results and complete reduction in swelling.

Who Is Good Candidate For liposuction
Liposuction is best for people who are close to their ideal body weight and have fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. It is not a method for losing weight, so it’s not meant for those who are very overweight or obese.
Candidates usually have a BMI between 25 and 30, which means they are in the normal to slightly overweight range. For people with a BMI over 30, liposuction is generally not advised as a main way to lose weight. Instead, it is used for shaping and improving specific areas of the body.
