Liposuction in St. Louis, MO

Liposuction in St. Louis is a sought-after cosmetic procedure offered at Amelia, enabling you to eliminate stubborn fat from various areas of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin. This surgery is especially advantageous for individuals struggling with fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.

At Amelia St. Louis, our experienced surgeons, including board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Fredman and plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Tom, specialize in state-of-the-art techniques to sculpt your body and achieve a more defined silhouette. 

It’s important to note that liposuction is not intended for weight loss; instead, it's a body contouring solution that enhances your natural proportions.

The procedure involves making small incisions where a thin tube, or cannula, is inserted to remove excess fat. Patients can expect a recovery period of around 7-10 days, during which many can return to their daily activities. To support optimal healing, wearing compression garments for several weeks post-surgery is often recommended.
