Remove Stubborn Fat
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring tool to refine your shape and enhance your natural curves. This versatile procedure can target various areas, including the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and chin. Dr. Kachare uses advanced techniques to suction out unwanted fat cells, as well as sculpt and contour your body to achieve a more proportionate figure.
Targeted Trimming
Liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
The specific steps will vary depending on the area treated and the chosen technique. Generally, before starting the procedure, Dr. Kachare will mark the treatment areas on your body. Then, he will administer local anesthesia with sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Next, Dr. Kachare will make small incisions in inconspicuous locations. He will then insert the cannula and suction out the fat cells from the targeted areas. Finally, Dr. Kachare will close the incisions with sutures and may use a drain if needed. Following the procedure the surgical team willprepare you to be driven home following surgery.
Focused on Form
Liposuction helps create smoother, more balanced body contours, enhancing your overall figure. It can effectively treat several body concerns, including:
So Long, Trouble Spots

The Right Fit
Liposuction offers several benefits, including:
Finding the Best Solution
Ideal candidates for liposuction are at a healthy weight and have good skin elasticity.
You should have good overall health and realistic expectations about the procedure's results. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle. During your consultation, Dr. Kachare will assess your health, discuss your goals, and determine if liposuction is right for you.
Take a Load Off
After your procedure, you'll need to rest and limit physical activity for 1-2 weeks. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Kachare will provide specific instructions on pain management, compression garments, and post-operative care. Most patients return to work and light activity within a few days, gradually returning to normal activities within two weeks. You should avoid strenuous exercise for 2-4 weeks.
A Balanced Lifestyle
After surgery, you'll notice an immediate change in your body contours, but final results will become apparent as swelling subsides over the next few months. Liposuction results are typically long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Kachare will help ensure your long-term satisfaction with your results.
Liposuction incisions are very small and strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Most scars fade significantly over time.
The cost of liposuction varies depending on the areas treated, the complexity of the procedure, and anesthesia fees. We will provide a personalized quote during your consultation.
Light activities can resume immediately, with full exercise at 2-4 weeks.
Yes, treatments like CoolSculpting can address small fat deposits non-surgically, and we can review your candidacy for those treatments during your consultation.
If you have good skin elasticity, your skin should tighten over time. In some cases, skin tightening procedures may be recommended. Dr. Kachare can incorporate these into your liposuction procedure to deliver optimal results with minimal surgical intervention.
