What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a targeted fat removal technique used to reshape specific parts of the body where fat tends to linger. It’s not designed as a weight-loss method but rather a body sculpting tool to highlight muscle tone and redefine your silhouette.
Common areas treated with liposuction include:
- Abdomen and waist (“muffin top” or belly pooch)
- Flanks or love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Back or bra line
- Submental area (double chin)
- Chest (including gynecomastia in men)
- Knees, calves, or ankles
Dr. Mang performs liposuction using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula, inserted through tiny incisions. The unwanted fat is gently suctioned out, and the incisions are usually small enough that no sutures are necessary.
Liposuction can also complement other procedures such as tummy tucks, breast enhancements, or Brazilian butt lifts for even more dramatic results.
Liposuction Treatment Pairings for Enhanced Results
As liposuction procedures are uniquely designed for each patient, Dr. Mang may recommend other body contouring procedures to enhance your overall results and help you achieve your ideal physique, including:

What to Expect During Your Liposuction Consultation in Tampa, FL
Dr. Mang believes your aesthetic journey starts with trust. During your consultation, he will listen closely to your concerns, evaluate your problem areas, and explain what liposuction can—and can’t—achieve.
How to prepare for your consultation:
- Define your goals and target areas
- Bring current medications and medical history
- Wear easy-to-remove clothing for examination
- Be ready to discuss recovery needs and support
- Come with questions and open communication
- Photos or “goal body” references can also help
How to Prepare for Liposuction in Tampa
Dr. Mang will customize pre-surgical instructions, but general guidelines include:
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 2 weeks prior
- Adjust medications as instructed
- Set up a cozy recovery area at home
- Arrange a ride and post-op assistance
- Purchase any required compression garments in advance
- Stay relaxed and mentally focused with breathing or mindfulness techniques
Depending on your treatment plan, liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthesia. After prepping the target areas, Dr. Mang makes small, discreet incisions and inserts the cannula to carefully break up and remove fat deposits. The procedure typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on how many areas are treated. Once complete, compression garments are applied to help reduce swelling and support your new shape.
Recovery & Aftercare
You’ll be released the same day, but make sure someone can drive you home and stay with you for the first 24–48 hours. Expect some soreness, bruising, and swelling initially. Dr. Mang may prescribe pain medication or recommend OTC relief.
Recovery at a glance:
- Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks
- Avoid strenuous activity for 2–3 weeks
- Return to work in 1–2 weeks (or 4–6 weeks for physically demanding jobs)
- Follow up as scheduled with Dr. Mang
- Stay well-hydrated and nourished to support healing
You’ll start to see changes in your body shape soon after surgery, but swelling can mask full results. Most patients see noticeable improvement after 4 to 6 weeks, with final results typically visible in 3 to 4 months.
To maintain your results long-term, keep up with your regular fitness routine and healthy eating habits. Gaining weight can cause fat to return in untreated areas.

Tampa, FL Liposuction FAQ
How much does liposuction cost?
The price for liposuction will vary depending on the technique being used and the number of areas being addressed. In your consultation, Dr. Mang will develop your unique liposuction surgical plan based on your needs and goals. He will also consider your budget. When your plan is developed, estimated costs will be discussed. To make your surgery affordable, Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery takes several payment options, and we can help you find low-interest medical financing.
What about nonsurgical liposuction?
There are many nonsurgical options to reduce fat. Some of the most popular brands are CoolSculpting, UltraShape, Vanquish, KYBELLA, and Liposonix. Although some of these nonsurgical procedures may help reduce small amounts of fat, liposuction is still best for most people due to its more consistent and dramatic results. Ask Dr. Mang about nonsurgical lipo in your consultation. He can explain the benefits and drawbacks of all your options and help you choose which is best for you.
What about cellulite and loose skin?
Liposuction surgery only corrects excess fat in the body. For loose skin, Dr. Mang may recommend combining liposuction with a surgical body lift. Liposuction is often done along with skin tightening surgery, like a tummy tuck, thighplasty, or arm lift, to give you your best results. To correct cellulite, there are many minimally invasive and nonsurgical treatment options, including VelaShape, Cellulaze, VASER Shape, and Venus Freeze. In your consultation, talk to Dr. Mang about all your concerns like loose skin and cellulite so a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed.
Will liposuction leave scars?
Since liposuction is a surgical procedure, incisions will need to be made and sutured. This will leave scars; however, Dr. Mang does his best to minimize their appearance. This includes making small incisions in the natural folds of your body or in less visible areas. After your surgery, Dr. Mang or a member of his team will go over how to care for your incisions — so they heal properly and fade.
Will my results last?
Before liposuction, it is important to be committed to maintaining your results. While liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in your body, you can still gain and lose weight. Dr. Mang suggests that you be at or close to a healthy weight before having liposuction. Afterward, it is best to stay within 5 – 10 pounds of your post-surgical weight. Getting pregnant after liposuction will also alter your results; however, a second surgery like a mommy makeover can be performed to refresh your appearance.
