What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that targets localized fat in specific areas of the body. Using small incisions and a thin tube called a cannula, fat is suctioned out to reshape and refine the treated areas. At our Las Vegas clinic, Dr. David Kahng uses modern, advanced liposuction techniques to reduce trauma, improve precision, and promote faster recovery. Whether you're looking to slim your midsection or define your jawline, liposuction in Las Vegas with Dr. Kahng can help bring your proportions into better balance.

Liposuction Techniques We Offer

Dr. Kahng incorporates a range of advanced technologies to enhance your results and support smoother healing:

  • Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Uses gentle vibrations to break up dense fat, allowing for easier, more controlled removal.
  • Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses sound wave energy to liquefy fat before removal—ideal for fibrous areas like the back or chest.
  • Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Targets fat while also encouraging skin tightening and collagen production, especially beneficial for patients with mild skin laxity.

These techniques are carefully selected based on your anatomy, goals, and treatment area to maximize results and minimize downtime.

Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction isn’t a substitute for weight loss—it’s designed to sculpt and fine-tune your shape by addressing persistent fat that doesn’t respond to exercise or diet.

Common Benefits Include:

  • Precision Fat Removal: Targeted reduction in areas like the:
    • Abdomen and waist
    • Flanks (“love handles”)
    • Thighs and hips
    • Upper arms
    • Back and bra line
    • Neck and under-chin area
  • Refined Contour: Enhances the overall balance and silhouette of the body.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells removed via liposuction do not return—future weight gain will be more evenly distributed.
  • Skin Firming: With laser-assisted techniques, mild skin tightening may also be achieved.
  • Improved Confidence: A more contoured shape can lead to better clothing fit and greater body confidence.

What to Expect After Liposuction

Recovery depends on the area(s) treated and the type of liposuction used. Most patients experience:

  • Mild swelling and bruising
  • Compression garment use for 4–6 weeks
  • Return to light activity within a few days
  • Full activity resumed after several weeks

Final results continue to refine over the months following surgery as swelling subsides. Our Las Vegas team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
