So you’ve reached your goal weight, or maybe you’re almost there…but you still have some areas of stubborn fat that you just can’t get rid of. Liposuction may become your new best friend. Dr. Carey Nease and his professional staff at Nease Cosmetic Surgery provide lipo treatments to patients in Chattanooga, Nashville, Scottsboro and surrounding communities.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction involves the freezing of fat cells in specifically targeted areas of the body, permanently destroying them. The body then processes the dead cells in the same natural manner it processes all dead tissue cells, eventually eliminating them from the body forever.
It’s important to recognize that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity. The amount of fat that can be removed in limited. While you may lose a small amount of weight, that is not the primary purpose of lipo treatments.

How Much Does Liposuction Cost?

Costs can vary from person to person, depending on the number of areas treated along with several other contributing variables.

Insurance companies seldom cover the cost of cosmetic surgeries and procedures. You’ll want to contact your insurance provider to find out what procedures they’ll accept for coverage. Dr. Nease strives to keep patient procedures as affordable as possible. Nease Cosmetic Surgery offers complimentary consultations as well as several different payment methods, including cash, major credit cards, and financing through CareCredit®.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
The best candidates for liposuction are healthy adults who are at or near their ideal weight, at least within 30%. Anyone considering lipo should not have anything in their current or past medical history that would interfere with the body’s natural healing process. Ideal candidates will also have good muscle tone and firm skin with adequate elasticity still remaining. Common liposuction treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Back
- Buttocks
- Chest
- Neck
- Upper arms
What is Liposuction Recovery Like?
Liposuction is most often performed as an outpatient procedure. When this is the case, the recovery phase is generally rather short. You will experience some swelling, soreness and bruising for several weeks, but, depending on your job, you’ll likely be able to go back to work in just a few days.
