What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits from targeted areas of the body, creating more balanced proportions and refined contours.

Through small, discreet incisions, Dr. Wilson inserts a thin tube called a cannula to break up and gently suction out fat. While it’s not a weight-loss method, liposuction can dramatically improve shape and definition in areas that don’t respond to lifestyle changes alone.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, back, chest, and under the chin. The result is a smoother, more proportionate silhouette that reflects your efforts and complements your natural frame.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Liposuction?

The best candidates are those who are at or near their ideal body weight but have localized fat that is out of proportion with the rest of their body. Ideal candidates should:

  • Be in good general health
  • Have firm, elastic skin that adapts well to new contours
  • Be a non-smoker or willing to stop before and after surgery

Liposuction is not a substitute for healthy habits or weight management—it’s a way to enhance the results of your hard work and restore proportion where needed.

What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?

Patients throughout the Lake Norman and greater Charlotte area choose liposuction because it offers:

  • Reduction of stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise
  • Improved body contours and overall proportions
  • Greater comfort and more clothing options
  • Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle
  • Enhanced self-confidence and body image

Liposuction can also be combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, breast surgery, or body lift, to achieve a more comprehensive transformation.

What to Expect on the Day of Surgery

On the day of your body contouring procedure, you will be welcomed by our experienced surgical team in the accredited surgical facility in Huntersville, where Dr. Wilson maintains privileges.

Anesthesia services are provided and overseen by board-certified physician anesthesiologists, ensuring the highest level of safety and comfort throughout your surgery.

Once anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Wilson will make small, discreet incisions and use the cannula to remove excess fat. Afterward, the incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied to support healing.
