Liposuction Ā· Wellington, FL
Liposuction in Wellington, FL ā Targeted Body Contouring, Planned With Care
Liposuction is a surgical way to reduce stubborn fat pockets that stay after diet and training. At Wellington Lipo 360 by Majestic Aesthetics, every plan starts with an exam ā not a procedure name. Some patients need one or two zones. Others benefit from a circumferential Lipo 360 approach. Results vary.

What liposuction is (and is not)
A tool for shape ā not a substitute for lifestyle
What it can help with
Localized fat that is out of proportion with the rest of your frame ā abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, hips, or under the chin ā when skin quality and overall health support a surgical plan.
Fat cells removed from a treated zone do not regrow there. Remaining fat cells elsewhere can still enlarge if weight rises substantially. Stable habits after surgery support the contour you plan for.
What it cannot do
- Replace meaningful weight loss or treat obesity as a primary goal
- Remove loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles
- Erase cellulite or guarantee a specific clothing size
- Create a permanent āimmuneā zone if lifestyle changes reverse later
If skin laxity is the main concern, an excision-based discussion may fit better ā see liposuction vs tummy tuck.
Choosing a plan
Spot liposuction or Lipo 360?
The decision is anatomic, not marketing. Your surgeon maps what you see in the mirror from every angle.
Area-focused liposuction
Best when one or two discrete pockets bother you and the rest of the torso already looks balanced. Examples: outer thighs only, arms, or a single flank pocket.
Lipo 360
When fullness wraps from the abdomen around the waist into the lower back, treating only the front can leave sides or back looking out of step. A 360 plan treats contiguous zones as one silhouette.
Treatment areas
Zones we commonly discuss
Abdomen
Upper and lower belly fullness that persists despite a stable weight.
Flanks / waist
Love-handle fullness that softens the waistline from the side.
Back & bra line
Posterior rolls that clothing and silhouette still show.
Arms, thighs, hips, chin
Additional zones when clinically appropriate ā never āadd-ons by default.ā
Technique
How modern liposuction typically works
Many plans begin with a tumescent approach: a dilute fluid mixture is placed in the treatment area to support comfort and reduce bleeding, then small incisions allow a thin cannula to remove fat. Whether power-assisted or other modalities are used is confirmed in your operative plan.
Procedures are commonly outpatient when medically appropriate. Operative time depends on areas treated and volume removed within safe limits.

Candidacy honesty
Who tends to be a fit ā and who should wait
Often discussed when you
- Are near a weight you can maintain
- Have localized fat that diet alone has not reshaped
- Have skin that is likely to redrape after volume change
- Can follow peri-operative instructions (including nicotine cessation if required)
- Hold realistic expectations about downtime and variability
Often delayed or redirected when
- Loose skin ā not fat ā is the dominant issue
- Significant weight change or pregnancy is planned soon
- A medical condition needs control first
- Expectations assume a guaranteed size or āperfectā symmetry
Only an in-person evaluation can determine candidacy. A ānot yetā recommendation is a safety feature, not a rejection.
After surgery
Recovery in plain language
Timelines are ranges. Your written instructions always override this sketch.
First few days
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected. Compression garments are usually worn as directed. Light walking is typically encouraged; lifting and strain are not.
Return to desk work
Many patients resume desk-type work on a timeline your surgeon will advise when cleared ā physical jobs take longer.
Exercise ramp-up
Gradual return to activity follows your surgeonās schedule. Early intensity can prolong swelling.
When contour settles
Early shape is not final shape. Swelling can take weeks to months to resolve. Results vary.
FAQ
Common questions about liposuction
Is liposuction the same as Lipo 360?
Liposuction is the procedure category. Lipo 360 is a planning approach that treats the midsection as a continuous circumference ā front, sides, and back ā when that anatomy calls for it. Spot liposuction treats fewer zones. Read about Lipo 360 ā
Will the fat come back?
Fat cells removed from treated areas do not return to those sites. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells elsewhere and change your overall shape. Stable habits help protect your result. Results vary.
How much does liposuction cost in Wellington?
We do not publish a single price because plans differ by areas, operative time, anesthesia, and facility. See cost factors and financing. A written quote follows consultation when surgery is appropriate.
Can liposuction fix loose skin?
No. Liposuction reduces fat volume. If laxity is significant, excision (for example, a tummy tuck discussion) may be more appropriate. Compare approaches ā
Do you serve West Palm Beach and nearby cities?
Yes ā from our main office in Greenacres (we also have an office in Oakland Park). We publish honest drive-time guidance rather than inventing satellite addresses. Areas we serve ā
