Liposuction

Liposuction in San Antonio

Liposuction in San Antonio is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. By targeting localized areas of excess fat, liposuction can create a slimmer, more sculpted silhouette and improve overall body proportions.

At Alon Aesthetics Plastic Surgery, Dr. Regina Fearmonti customizes every liposuction procedure to enhance your natural shape while delivering smooth, balanced, and natural-looking results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

You may be a good candidate for liposuction in San Antonio if you:

Have localized fat deposits that do not improve with diet or exercise
Are close to your goal weight
Have good skin elasticity
Want improved contour rather than major weight loss
Are in overall good health

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure—it is designed to refine and sculpt areas of stubborn fat for improved body contour.

A consultation is the best way to determine if liposuction is the right treatment for your goals.

What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?

Liposuction can commonly be performed on:

Abdomen
Waist and flanks (“love handles”)
Thighs
Hips
Back and bra line
Arms
Chin and neck
Chest (including male chest contouring)

Treatment areas are customized based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What Happens During Liposuction?

Liposuction is the surgical removal of excess fat from localized areas beneath the skin using small, strategically placed incisions and gentle suction techniques.

A thin cannula is inserted through small incisions to remove unwanted fat and sculpt the treatment area for improved contour and definition. The abdomen and thighs are among the most commonly treated areas, though multiple areas may be addressed during one procedure.

Liposuction is commonly paired with tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) for patients who also have excess skin or abdominal muscle separation.

Your procedure may include:

Removal of stubborn fat deposits
Sculpting and contour refinement
Treatment of one or multiple body areas
Combination with other body contouring procedures when appropriate

Procedure Time: Approximately 1–4+ hours depending on treatment areas
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment

Liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to recover comfortably at home the same day.

Recovery & Downtime

Recovery is an important part of your results, and our team will guide you every step of the way.

Most patients return to light daily activities within a few days
Typical downtime is approximately 1–2 weeks
Swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness are expected initially
Compression garments are typically worn to support healing and contour
Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for approximately 2–4 weeks
Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling resolves

Everyone heals differently, and recovery timelines may vary based on the number of areas treated and your body’s natural healing process.

Liposuction Results

You will notice an improvement in body contour immediately after surgery, with continued refinement as swelling subsides. Once fat cells are removed, they do not return, making results long-lasting when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Scarring After Liposuction

Liposuction uses very small incisions that are strategically placed in natural creases or less visible areas whenever possible. These scars are typically minimal and continue to fade over time.

At Alon Aesthetics, we take a comprehensive approach to scar healing and offer advanced in-office treatments to further improve the appearance, texture, and tone of surgical scars.

Treatments to Enhance Scar Healing:

Laser resurfacing with 1540 and 2940 technology to improve texture and discoloration
Potenza RF microneedling to stimulate collagen and soften scar tissue
Medical-grade microneedling to support skin remodeling and healing

These treatments can be introduced at the appropriate stage of healing and are customized based on your skin and scar progression. Our goal at Alon Aesthetics is not only a beautiful surgical result—but the most refined, natural-looking finish possible.

Cost of Liposuction in San Antonio

Liposuction procedures start at $2,500 per area.

The total cost varies depending on the number of treatment areas, the amount of contouring required, whether additional procedures are combined, and overall treatment complexity. Financing options may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction

Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is designed for body contouring and removing localized fat deposits—not significant weight loss.

What areas can be treated with liposuction?
Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, chin, and other areas of stubborn fat.

How long is recovery after liposuction?
Most patients return to light activities within a few days, with typical downtime of about 1–2 weeks.

Will the fat come back after liposuction?
Once fat cells are removed, they do not return. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important.
