Chicago Liposuction by Dr. David Dreyfuss
Does it seem like these stubborn fat deposits are immune to any health regimen or workout? You sacrifice your favorite meals, you push yourself with physical training, but the body fat just stays. You feel good – but you want to look better!
Many people, active or not, become frustrated after multiple attempts to lose areas of stubborn fat around their thighs, hips, abdomen, love handles, knees, back, arms, neck, and chin.
By using new liposuction technology, we can eliminate those areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods, and with gentler, state-of-the-art techniques, we can do it with less bruising, less pain, and shorter recovery time. Once you’ve fully recovered, you should see a slimmer, more proportionate figure.

Consultation for Liposuction in Orland Park
Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction Chicago?
If you exhibit stubborn fat deposits – localized areas of fat – then you may be a good candidate for liposuction. To be a candidate, it’s crucial that patients be close to their ideal weight or have a healthy body mass index before undergoing liposuction—it is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should not expect to lose a significant amount of weight through the procedure.
The chief purpose of liposuction is the removal of stubborn fat, not skin. It’s why the most ideal candidates for liposuction are the ones who have good skin elasticity; we don’t want the liposuction procedure to result in loose, excess skin.
Optimal Chicago liposuction candidates are:
- Within thirty percent of their ideal weight, and possess good body tone and skin elasticity.
- Patients who have no serious health issues.
- Patients who don’t smoke.
- Patients who understand the risks and have realistic expectations of what liposuction can do and not do.

How Liposuction Works
Dr. Dreyfuss performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure in our AAASF and JCAHO-accredited surgical facility. Your liposuction surgery will be performed under epidural or general anesthesia. In most cases, we perform liposuction under general anesthesia. Since tumescent liposuction is the most trusted body contouring method available, Dr. Dreyfuss frequently performs it. First, Dr. Dreyfuss will make small incisions in the target area to allow the liposuction device to access the unwanted fat cells. The incisions are small enough that they’ll look inconspicuous when they heal—almost like small moles.
Before the procedure begins, Dr. Dreyfuss saturates the fat with a special tumescent solution. Through a very small incision, he inserts a tiny tube (cannula). The cannula manipulates the fatty tissue and removes fat using suction. The anesthetic-containing tumescent solution reduces bleeding, reduces pain, and makes it easier to collect fat without damaging the tissues.

Recovery After Liposuction
The recovery time for liposuction will vary depending on the extent of the procedure. The average recovery time is 2-3 weeks. Although you should expect some bruising, swelling and discomfort during your liposuction recovery, patients typically return to work or school within seven days. A special compression garment is usually provided to reduce swelling and ensure a smooth result. After about four weeks, patients can typically return to their exercise regimen. Dr. Dreyfuss will help map out a recovery plan for you.
It is important to understand that diet and exercise are critical to maintaining the results you achieve with liposuction.
