Liposuction in Midlife: What Really Works for Body Contouring and Confidence


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina welcomes Dr. Kandace Kichler to talk about what liposuction actually is today. Together they explore why this procedure, once considered aggressive and intimidating, has become a favorite for targeted contouring, especially in midlife.

From safety and anesthesia to expectations and recovery, they lay out what’s possible with awake liposuction, and why it can help women feel more comfortable and more confident in their clothes and their skin.

Key Takeaways:

  • Liposuction is for contouring, not weight loss.
  • Awake procedures are safe and surprisingly comfortable.
  • Liposuction cannot fix visceral fat (the deep fat behind the muscle), nor can it replace surgery when excess skin is the issue.
  • Recovery is easier than most people imagine.
  • You get a “preview” in the first weeks, but final results take months.
  • If you’ve ever wondered whether liposuction is only for celebrities or feared it meant pain, anesthesia, and weeks away from real life, this episode is for you.

    Dr. Kandace Kichler (Kick-ler) is a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon and aesthetic injector based in sunny South Florida, between Palm Beach and Miami. With advanced fellowship training in both bariatric and cosmetic surgery, she now focuses on aesthetics—combining surgical precision with a passion for beauty and body contouring. She is also board certified in obesity medicine, giving her a unique ability to guide patients in both wellness and aesthetics. Known as The Slimming Surgeon on social media, she also hosts The Slimming Surgeon Podcast, where she shares insights on cosmetic procedures, style, and empowerment.
