Liposuction Orlando: What Is Liposuction Surgery?


Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, enhancing body contours and proportion.

At Rejuv Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa in Orlando, Florida, we offer advanced liposuction techniques to target stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common areas treated include the abdomen, waist, thighs, and underarms.

To find out more about liposuction surgery, arrange a consultation at our Orlando facility. We’re located near Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, the Orange County Convention Center, and Big Sand Lake.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction in Orlando?

Liposuction is best suited for individuals who are generally healthy but struggle with stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. The procedure refines body contours rather than serving as a weight-loss method.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight and have localized fat areas
  • Possess firm, elastic skin that can adapt to new contours
  • Have realistic expectations for enhancement rather than perfection
  • Don’t smoke, or are willing to stop before and after surgery for healing safety

Liposuction is not recommended for those with significant skin laxity or those seeking overall weight reduction. In such cases, Dr. Caceres may suggest a skin-tightening or body contouring procedure to complement your results.

What Are the Benefits of Liposuction?

Undergoing liposuction offers several advantages:

  • Boosted Confidence: Many individuals experience increased self-esteem and satisfaction with their appearance following the procedure.

What Does Liposuction Involve Step-by-Step?

At Rejuv Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa, our Orlando patients benefit from SmartLipo, an advanced laser-assisted liposuction technique that combines the precision of laser technology with traditional fat removal methods. The laser energy liquefies stubborn fat while encouraging collagen production for improved skin tone and contour.

Liposuction with SmartLipo involves the following steps:

SmartLipo typically takes about two hours and is best suited for sculpting smaller areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, neck, and arms, where fine detail and skin tightening are desired. Depending on your goals, our surgeons may combine SmartLipo with tumescent or power-assisted techniques for comprehensive body contouring and efficient results.

The Liposuction Consultation

Your fat removal consultation will take place at our Orlando office, located close to popular tourist destinations like Universal Studios Florida and SeaWorld Orlando. You’ll meet with Dr. Caceres, who will ask you about your liposuction needs and goals. She’ll go over the procedure in detail, ensuring that you know what to expect from the surgery.

Dr. Caceres will perform a thorough physical examination. She’ll ask you questions about your medical history, including current medications and supplements, past procedures, allergies, and any pre-existing conditions. Photographs will also be taken to serve as a reference.

If you are a good candidate for the liposuction procedure, Dr. Caceres will work with you to create a surgical plan. She’ll discuss preparation and aftercare directions, and she’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Finally, a date will be set for your surgery.

Preparing for Liposuction

Before your surgical fat reduction procedure in Orlando, you’ll need to follow certain preparation directions carefully. This will help prevent complications during the surgery and ensure optimal results.

You’ll need to quit smoking several weeks before liposuction. This will allow your body to recover from the effects of the nicotine, like poor blood circulation and decreased skin health. These types of effects can result in a prolonged healing period and various complications.

You’ll also need to avoid NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and certain herbal supplements. These can thin the blood, resulting in increased bleeding during surgery and exacerbated bruising afterwards. Alcohol can also thin the blood, so you’ll need to avoid it. 

Eating healthy ahead of time is key, as is staying hydrated. Avoid caffeine starting at least two days before the procedure. You’ll also need to stop shaving in the treatment region 24 hours before liposuction, since shaving can result in an increased chance of infections.

Prepare your recovery area beforehand, because shopping during liposuction recovery will be difficult and uncomfortable. Create a comfortable space, ideally near a bathroom. Gather all prescribed medications, along with recovery essentials like pillows, blankets, bandages, gauze, creams and ointments, snacks, bottles of water, and entertainment options.

Liposuction Recovery and Results

Post-procedure, you may experience some soreness, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas, which is normal and should subside over time. Applying an ice pack to the sculpted regions will aid in the reduction of post-surgical bruising and swelling.

Wearing a compression garment may be advised to support healing and optimize results. This garment will control swelling and encourage the skin to better fit the treated area’s new underlying contours after surgical fat removal.

The team at Rejuv Cosmetic Surgery & Med Spa recommends taking it easy for a day or two following treatment, but you should be able to resume your usual activities thereafter.

SmartLipo Recovery Timeline:

  • Days 1–3: Peak swelling and soreness; wear compression continuously and take short walks to promote circulation.
  • Days 4–10: Bruising subsides; many patients return to desk work.
  • Weeks 2–4: Light cardio may resume; avoid strenuous activity until cleared.
  • Weeks 4–6: Gradually reintroduce full exercise.
  • 3+ months: Final contour refinement as residual swelling resolves and skin quality continues to improve.



You’ll need to come in for liposuction follow-up appointments with Dr. Caceres as directed. During these appointments, the surgeon will examine your incisions to ensure that healing is going as expected. She’ll also clear you to return to various activities. Make sure to bring up any unexpected side-effects so that she can address them.

The results of SmartLipo are immediate, and as swelling decreases, you’ll notice improved contours. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine is essential to preserve the outcomes, as while the removed fat cells are gone permanently, remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain.

Risks & Safety of SmartLipo (Laser-Assisted Liposuction)

SmartLipo carries the same general risks associated with traditional liposuction, including mild contour irregularities, temporary numbness, swelling, or minor scarring. Because the treatment uses gentle laser energy to liquefy fat, there is also a small possibility of heat-related effects, such as skin irritation or mild thermal sensitivity. At Rejuv Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa, our team takes every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety by using controlled energy levels, continuous movement, and close temperature monitoring throughout your SmartLipo treatment.

How Much Does Liposuction in Orlando Cost?

The price of SmartLipo liposuction in Orlando is based on factors like the time required to perform the procedure, anesthesia fees, and the number of areas being treated. Facility fees and elastic garments can also play a role in the total cost.

Rejuv Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa has partnered with Cherry and CareCredit to provide financing for liposuction and our other procedures. These medical financing companies offer flexible payment plans to ensure that patients can afford the cost of cosmetic procedures.

SmartLipo vs. Traditional Liposuction

While traditional liposuction mainly focuses on removing fat through mechanical suction, SmartLipo uses laser technology that enhances both the precision and comfort of the liposuction procedure. The SmartLipo laser energy melts fat before extraction, allowing for a gentler process that minimizes tissue disruption and promotes quicker healing. In many cases, it can also help tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production beneath the surface, a benefit that traditional liposuction methods can’t achieve.

Liposuction FAQs

Ideal candidates are individuals who are at or close to their ideal weight with a body mass index no greater than 30 and have stubborn fat deposits that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. A consultation with our team will help determine if liposuction is the right option for you.

Liposuction is a very versatile procedure and can be used to treat almost every area of the body. Common areas include the abdomen, waist, inner and outer thighs, underarms, and neck. Patients can also have fat removed from regions like the buttocks, chest, back, face, ankles, and knees. During your consultation, we can discuss your specific concerns and develop a tailored treatment plan.

Liposuction involves small incisions, which typically result in minimal scarring. These scars usually fade over time and are often placed in less noticeable areas.

The fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy lifestyle is crucial, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. Choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-operative care instructions can minimize these risks.

SmartLipo is a laser-assisted liposuction technique that uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells before removal, which can result in less trauma, reduced downtime, and added skin-tightening benefits compared to traditional liposuction.
