Precision Fat Removal & Smoother Contours
Liposuction in Burlington
Liposuction is a targeted body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. We offer tumescent and surgical liposuction techniques—plus RF-assisted options (BodyTite) when skin tightening is also needed—so each plan is tailored to your anatomy and goals for smooth, natural-looking results under board-supervised care.
Who this is for
Adults near their ideal weight who want to slim specific areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, bra roll, knees, submental) and improve how clothing fits without large scars or full surgical reconstruction.
What to expect
Your consultation includes a focused exam and treatment map that identifies target zones, technique, and recovery plan. Procedures are usually performed under local tumescent anesthesia with optional sedation (or in the OR for larger cases). Expect immediate contour improvement, short-term swelling and bruising, a compression garment for 2–6 weeks, and progressive smoothing over 2–3 months as swelling resolves.

Words From Our Patients
Our personalized approach has made a real difference in these lives of our patients - here’s what they have to say about their journey with us.
"The all female team helped me feel comfortable..."
When searching for a surgeon for my Mommy Makeover, I was immediately drawn to Dr. Shih's clinic at Burlington Plastic Surgery. The all female team helped me feel comfortable in my surroundings from the start, especially since plastic surgery was completely new to me. During my first consultation with Dr Shih, I felt my concerns and questions were thoroughly and professionally answered, and I was certain that this was where I wanted to have my surgery preformed. The staff, and Surgical Coordinator, Ashley, were all very kind and attentive; excellent listeners, and ready to help with whatever questions I had.
"Erased any anxiety I had..."
When I met with Dr. Shih the morning of my surgery, she had a warm and confident energy that really erased any anxiety I had over having surgery for the first time. She set enough time to prepare me for surgery, to answer questions, to confirm my goals and to discuss after care. My recovery went better than I had anticipated. I appreciated having a follow up appointment within my first week and it meant I felt reassured that I was healing well. Dr. Shih supported my return to exercise and my daily routine with suggestions to help with minor swelling and discomfort.
"I couldn't be happier with the results!"
I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Shih, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation, Dr. Shih's expertise and attention to detail put me at ease. Dr. Shih and her assistant, Andrea, took the time to understand my goals and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are just fantastic—exactly what I was hoping for! Both Dr. Shih and Andrea, were incredibly supportive and responsive at every step. They made the entire experience feel personal and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Shih for anyone considering this procedure!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about Liposuction in Burlington
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a targeted body-contouring procedure that removes localized fat deposits using small incisions and a cannula. Techniques include tumescent (local numbing), surgical excision, and RF-assisted methods (BodyTite) when skin tightening is needed.
Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
Good candidates are adults near their ideal weight with stable body weight, localized fat pockets (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, bra roll, knees, submental) and realistic expectations. A consultation in Burlington will confirm suitability and safety.
What liposuction techniques do you offer?
We offer tumescent liposuction, traditional surgical techniques, and RF-assisted contouring (BodyTite) to combine fat removal with skin contraction—technique choice depends on area, skin quality, and your goals.
How long does a liposuction procedure take and what anesthesia is used?
Procedure time varies by area and extent—typically 45–120 minutes for single areas. Most cases use tumescent local anesthesia with optional light sedation; larger or multi-area procedures may be done under general anesthesia in an OR setting.
What is the recovery and downtime after liposuction?
Expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness. Most patients return to light activity within a few days and more vigorous exercise after 1–2 weeks; wear compression garments for 2–6 weeks as instructed for optimal contouring.
Are liposuction results permanent?
Fat cells removed by liposuction do not return, but remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Long-term results are durable when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes—liposuction is often combined with procedures like tummy tuck, BodyTite, or fat transfer to breasts or buttocks. Combining procedures is safe when planned appropriately and discussed during consultation.
What are the risks and how are they minimized?
Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising and numbness. Less common risks include infection, contour irregularities, fluid collection, or changes in sensation. Risk is minimized by careful patient selection, choosing an experienced, board-supervised team, and following pre/post-op instructions.
How much does liposuction cost and is it covered by insurance?
Cost varies by area, technique and setting. Cosmetic liposuction is typically private-pay; if removal addresses a documented medical issue, limited coverage might apply. We provide personalized quotes at consultation.
How do I prepare for liposuction and what should I bring to my consultation?
Prepare by stopping smoking, avoiding certain blood-thinning medications as directed, and arranging help for the first 24–72 hours. Bring a list of medications, photos of your goals, and any medical records to your consultation so we can create a tailored treatment plan.
