Am I a Candidate for Liposuction in Baltimore?

Good candidates for liposuction:

  • Are in good physical and psychological health.
  • Have localized fat deposits that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
  • High-quality, elastic skin is also a requirement. If you have lax or overhanging skin, a skin-tightening procedure may also be necessary.

Liposuction can be combined with procedures like a tummy tuck, back lift, thigh lift, or breast augmentation for full torso rejuvenation. It’s also often paired with fat transfer to restore volume to the breasts, buttocks, or face using your own fat. During your consultation, Dr. Shermak will create a personalized plan tailored to your goals. Set up your consultation today.

How Liposuction is Performed: Step-by-Step

Liposuction is a targeted fat removal surgery that sculpts the body, not a weight loss procedure. Here's what the process typically involves:

  • Consultation & Planning
    Dr. Shermak conducts a detailed evaluation of your goals, anatomy, and skin elasticity to develop a personalized treatment plan.
  • Marking the Treatment Areas
    On the day of surgery, Dr. Shermak marks the areas where fat will be removed to guide precise sculpting.
  • Anesthesia
    Depending on the extent of the procedure, you may receive local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia for maximum comfort.
  • Fat Removal
    Tiny incisions are made, and a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to break up and suction out fat deposits using the selected liposuction technique.
  • Sculpting & Closure
    Dr. Shermak carefully contours the area to ensure smooth, natural-looking results. Incisions are then closed, typically without the need for drains.

What Areas Can Be Treated with Liposuction?

  • Waist & Hips: Slims love handles, enhances hourglass curves
  • Abdomen: Flattens upper or lower belly
  • Thighs: Reduces inner thigh bulge and outer saddle bags
  • Back: Smooths bra rolls and upper back fat
  • Arms: Contours upper arms for a more toned look
  • Knees: Refines inner knee fat often missed by workouts
  • Neck: Eliminates double chin and defines jawline

Liposuction vs. Tummy Tuck

  • Liposuction: Removes fat only. Best for patients with good skin tone and localized fat.
  • Tummy Tuck: This procedure removes fat and loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles. It is ideal for post-pregnancy or major weight loss.

How much weight can you lose with liposuction?

I am not happy with the results of a liposuction surgery performed elsewhere. What should I do?

Can liposuction improve my silhouette and reduce my clothing size?

Yes! If you have localized fat around your torso, arms, and/or thighs—and good quality skin—liposuction can improve your contours and reduce your clothing size by one to two sizes, on average. Healthy eating and regular exercise after surgery will further optimize your outcome.

There is no direct correlation between fat removal and weight loss, but Dr. Shermak can guarantee a reduction in inches and clothing size as long as you take care to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle after surgery.

If I have liposuction on my “problem areas,” will other areas grow if I gain weight after liposuction?

There is no scientific data to support this urban tale. Having said that, liposuction does reduce fat cell quantity in the treated region, so any area that is left untreated may be more prone to becoming fatter with weight gain. This theory remains untested but makes practical sense.

Is surgical liposuction the best way to remove fat cells?

Yes. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle after liposuction surgery, the fat cells that have been removed will not return. Most importantly, the fat cells that remain will not grow larger. While liposuction is not a cure for diabetes or diseases related to obesity, physiologic changes that occur with total body fat reduction may make diabetes onset less likely or reduce medication requirements.

All individuals seeking liposuction surgery need to be assessed for safety and candidacy for the procedure, which can be done during an in-person consultation with Dr. Shermak in Baltimore.

Are the results of liposuction long-lasting?

Yes. You have a finite number of fat cells in your body. Once they’re removed, they never return. It is important that you make a commitment to yourself to maintain the newly sculpted look with a healthy diet and exercise.

When will I notice my results?

Many patients begin to see results about one month after their liposuction procedures. As your body begins to heal and swelling dissipates, about ninety percent of your results will become visible within one to three months.

Is liposuction safe?

While liposuction is a surgery that involves some risks, it is one of the safest surgical procedures available. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires only very small incisions.

Can I have multiple areas treated with liposuction at one time?

Absolutely! Dr. Shermak recommends that no more than three or four areas be treated during one procedure in order to minimize the necessary downtime following surgery.

How should I prepare for liposuction?

Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals and drinks, eat healthy foods, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol prior to your procedure to help speed healing.

Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?

Liposuction is designed to slim and sculpt small areas and is therefore not a weight loss procedure.

Will there be scars after liposuction?

In many cases, there is no scarring. For those who do have a scar, it will be a small dot about the size of a freckle, which will fade over the course of a few months.

Is liposuction recovery better when using compression garments?

Recovery after liposuction may be faster when using compression garments, including binders, girdles, and foam padding. Your results may ultimately be the same without compression, though it’s worth pointing out that compression may reveal your optimal results sooner. Dr. Shermak will recommend for you the best compression garments to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible.

Are the results from liposuction permanent?

Because the fat cells won’t return once they’re removed, the results are considered permanent. However, other fat cells can still grow in other parts of the body.

Are there any risks associated with liposuction?

Dr. Shermak prioritizes patient safety and uses the most advanced, proven techniques. While liposuction is generally safe, it is still a surgical procedure and carries some risks:

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Temporary numbness or tingling
  • Irregular contours or asymmetry (rare)
  • Infection (rare with proper post-op care)
  • Seroma (fluid accumulation)
  • Blood clots (rare and minimized with early movement)
Dr. Shermak thoroughly discusses potential risks during your consultation so you can make an informed decision with confidence. Her meticulous technique and board certification ensure you're in expert hands every step of the way.

Is recovery after liposuction painful?

There will be some pain and discomfort for the first few days after your procedure, which will gradually decrease.

What is the ideal weight to have liposuction?

Patients should be within 30 pounds of their ideal weight to have liposuction.

What other procedures can enhance my liposuction results?

A number of other procedures can be done to complement your liposuction procedure, such as a tummy tuck, a Brazilian butt lift, a thigh lift, or other procedures.

How much weight can you lose with liposuction?

While liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, you may lose up to eight to 10 pounds, maximum, after the procedure.
