Liposuction

Perimeter Plastic Surgery performs tumescent liposuction on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, back, flanks, neck, chin, calves, and waist. Each area takes approximately one hour under mild anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Pricing varies by the number of treatment areas. Patients return to normal activities within one to three weeks and light exercise within two to three weeks.

Liposuction at Perimeter Plastic Surgery in Atlanta uses the tumescent technique — a refined method in which a dilute solution of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine is infused into the target fat layer before removal. The epinephrine shrinks capillaries, dramatically reducing blood loss and bruising compared to traditional liposuction, while the lidocaine provides local analgesia that eases the post-operative recovery period. Dr. Mark F. Deutsch, MD, FACS treats a broad range of anatomical areas including the abdomen, flanks, waist, thighs (inner and outer), buttocks, arms, back, neck, chin, and calves. Each area requires approximately one hour of operative time, and multiple zones are commonly addressed in a single session. Procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under mild sedation or local anesthesia with sedation, avoiding deeper anesthetic exposure when possible. Recovery is graduated: most patients resume non-strenuous daily activities within one to three weeks, and light exercise restarts at two to three weeks. Compression garments are worn for several weeks post-operatively to minimize swelling and optimize skin retraction. Because pricing depends on the number of areas treated and the volume of fat removed, the practice provides personalized estimates during the initial consultation at the Atlanta office on Johnson Ferry Road. Liposuction is frequently combined with a tummy tuck or mommy makeover for patients seeking comprehensive body reshaping. The practice's all-inclusive tummy tuck pricing already includes liposuction of the flanks.
