Liposuction in West Palm Beach
Do you have stubborn problem areas on your body that won’t budge, despite reaching your weight loss goals, eating well, and working out regularly? Liposuction could be the answer you’ve been seeking. With liposuction, you can bid farewell to love handles, saddlebags, and the dreaded double chin. Our many satisfied West Palm Beach patients have gained newfound self-esteem and embraced an even healthier lifestyle after their liposuction procedure. We invite you to experience the transformation for yourself at our West Palm Beach office.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction safely and effectively alters your body contour and fulfills your unique aesthetic goals. It eliminates stubborn body fat that won’t budge with a healthy lifestyle alone.
Dr. Fredric M. Barr, M.D., F.A.C.S., our Board-certified plastic surgeon at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, will listen with compassion and change your body contours according to your desires.
At our West Palm Beach office, Dr. Barr uses a local anesthetic injection to work on areas—no pills or IVs—just a local anesthetic injection, working on diet-and-exercise-resistant areas in the belly, hips, flanks, inner and outer thighs, and whatever areas cause concern in terms of fat. It’s as safe, if not safer, than being in the hospital. To perform liposuction, Dr. Barr uses a small cannula (a thin tube) to precisely target and eliminate stubborn fat pockets and achieve remarkable results.
With a liposuction procedure, patients can confidently improve the following areas:
- Neck
- Breasts
- Flanks
- Back
- Tummy
- Hips
- Thighs
A liposuction cosmetic procedure results in a more desirable body shape and contour. However, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, a solution for excess skin or an obesity treatment. Its primary goal is to sculpt the body by removing excess fat in specific areas.
Benefits of Liposuction
A liposuction procedure removes unwanted fat that resists diet and exercise. Liposuction body contouring performed by experienced plastic surgeons:
- Permanently removes fat cells from trouble areas
- Targeted fat removal from multiple areas, including the abdomen, hips, chin, and more
- Recontours other areas
- Unveils a sleeker and more refined appearance
- Safe, fast, and easy – no general anesthesia needed
- Minimal downtime, which means you’ll return to your normal routine within days
Safe, Fast, and Effective Non-Surgical
Fat Removal
Imagine returning to your normal routine in just one day with Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery’s walk-in and walk-out liposuction procedure. Our safe, localized anesthesia approach offers peace of mind by eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia. With over three decades of experience, Dr. Barr is an expert in the field of liposuction.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is most effective for those with good skin tone and muscle tone, as it does not correct excess skin or muscle weakness. In some cases, we can treat smaller areas with an in-office mini-liposuction using local anesthesia. After the procedure, patients generally experience minimal discomfort; we encourage them to resume their normal activities immediately.
Discover if you’re a perfect fit for liposuction by booking a consultation with our skilled plastic surgeon at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Barr considers crucial factors like body mass index (BMI) and overall health and lifestyle to determine your candidacy because maintaining a healthy weight is vital for long-lasting results.
How Long is Recovery from Liposuction?
The length of your liposuction recovery depends on the amount of fat and the size of the treatment area, which influences the amount of fluid to be drained. Dr. Barr may place drains to help with swelling and fluid retention for the first few days. He may also instruct patients to wear liposuction compression garments to help with healing and comfort. This prescribed garment will make you feel more secure and help with drainage.
In general, patients can return to work a few days after the procedure, as long as their job does not put much strain on their bodies. After two weeks, it is critical to ensure that you are moving and encouraging circulation in the body for proper healing; however, wait a minimum of six weeks before returning to strenuous activity.
How Can Liposuction Support My
Healthy Lifestyle?
At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Barr, a skilled and highly trained plastic surgeon approaches liposuction with precision and an artistic touch. He uses liposuction to remove excess fat and reshape areas of the body. Dr. Barr suctions fat out using a cannula, assisted by a powerful vacuum. The desired results from these plastic surgery procedures will allow you to finally fit into your favorite pair of jeans, shop for clothes with confidence, and enjoy the self-esteem that comes from knowing you look and feel your best.
Below are the most common areas our liposuction patients request:
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Back rolls
- Buttocks – banana rolls
- Flanks
- Neck
- Thighs
How Long Will My Results Last?
Technically, liposuction results are permanent. However, your results depend on your ability to maintain your weight and healthy habits. How much weight you gain, whether you go through childbirth, and aging in general can all affect the results.
Once we take fat cells from one area, if you gain weight your body must find a new place to store fat, which might be somewhat unpredictable. For best results, do not gain excess weight; keep your weight stable and you will enjoy the benefits of liposuction for many years.

Liposuction — What To Expect Before, During, and After the Procedure
Before you undergo liposuction, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Barr. He will review your medical history, ensure you are in good health, and inquire about the areas of your body causing concern. He’ll ask if you maintain a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, and determine your body mass index (BMI). Why? For the best long-term results from liposuction, candidates must be able to maintain a healthy weight.
During this meeting, Dr. Barr will determine how much fat he needs to remove with liposuction, based on your unique needs and goals.
Our minimally invasive procedure takes place in our West Palm Beach office, where we administer a local anesthetic to the treated area or areas and use small cannulas to remove fat.
