Liposuction in Denver
Home | Body | Liposuction
As many of our Denver patients know, sometimes, even with a strict exercise regimen and a balanced diet, stubborn pockets of fat can persist in various body areas. For these individuals, liposuction in Denver provides a popular and effective surgical solution designed to restore a firm, sculpted silhouette.
An Elegant Corrective to a Stubborn Issue
Simply put, if you desire the confidence of a slimmer, more sculpted figure, liposuction may be your ideal choice. Also referred to as lipoplasty or “lipo,” it is a widely sought-after fat reduction treatment. Each year, millions of individuals opt for liposuction to reshape stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise. The procedure is safe, effective, and relatively straightforward, delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results. At Peak Plastic Surgery Center, we’ve loved helping our patients hit that final frontier of tackling stubborn fat deposits with this simple procedure.
Who is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Typically, we’ve found that our patients who get the most out of the procedure include:
- Individuals close to their ideal weight: Liposuction is most effective for individuals at or near their target weight but have localized areas of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. It can help sculpt and define specific areas for a more contoured appearance.
- Those seeking body sculpting and definition: Candidates who desire enhanced body contours and improved muscle definition can benefit from liposuction. This procedure can target specific areas to create a more toned and sculpted physique.
- Individuals with good skin elasticity: Candidates with relatively good skin tone and elasticity will likely experience smoother and more aesthetically pleasing outcomes following the procedure.
- Healthy individuals with realistic expectations: A positive attitude and a commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to successful results and long-term satisfaction.
- Those bothered by localized fat deposits: Candidates who are bothered by localized fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or back may find liposuction an effective solution for addressing these specific concerns and achieving a more proportionate body shape.
- Individuals seeking minimal downtime: Liposuction offers a quicker recovery than traditional liposuction, making it suitable for individuals with busy lifestyles who prefer minimal downtime and a faster return to their regular activities.

The Day of Your Liposuction
Liposuction in Denver is conducted in our office without general anesthesia. Our esteemed plastic surgeon, Dr. Barker, will carefully administer local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable environment for the surgery. This approach is considered the safest method for performing liposuction, and our patients consistently report that the experience is pleasant from start to finish. Dr. Barker uses specialized techniques to target and remove excess fat during the procedure, sculpting the desired areas for a more contoured appearance. This involves making small, inconspicuous incisions through which a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted to suction out the fat. Dr. Barker’s meticulous approach ensures precise and natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s unique goals.
What is the Recovery from Liposuction?
Each individual’s recovery period after liposuction varies, but generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas. Dr. Barker will provide specific post-operative instructions to promote healing and minimize potential complications. Most patients can return to work and light activities within a few days, gradually improving in the following weeks.

FAQ
What is the recovery process like after liposuction?
After liposuction, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas. Most individuals can return to work and light activities within a few days, gradually improving in the following weeks. Dr. Barker will provide specific post-operative instructions to promote healing and minimize potential complications.Will I have scarring after liposuction?
Since liposuction is a surgical procedure, small incisions will be made, which may cause scars. However, Dr. Barker minimizes their appearance by making thin incisions in the natural body folds or less visible areas. Patients will also receive guidance on scar care to ensure proper healing and fading.How long do the results of liposuction last?
Liposuction results are lasting, but patients need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight fluctuations. While the removed fat cells do not grow back, weight gain can still occur in untreated areas. Dr. Barker recommends that patients remain within five to ten pounds of their post-surgical weight to optimize and maintain their results.Schedule a Consultation
