When most people think of liposuction, they imagine it as a magic fix for stubborn fat or loose skin, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

On this week's  episode of The Trillium Show, I sit down with my colleague, Dr. Jessica Walker, to unpack the real story behind one of the most misunderstood plastic surgery procedures. We dive deep into what liposuction actually does, who it’s right for, and when it might not be the right choice.

Dr. Walker breaks down how liposuction works, the difference between fat removal and skin tightening, and why it’s best thought of as a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss tool. We also tackle common misconceptions about cellulite, “lipo 360,” and non-surgical alternatives like CoolSculpting (spoiler: it’s not the miracle treatment people think it is).

We cover:

• How to know if you’re a good candidate for liposuction
• Why skin quality matters more than the amount of fat
• What recovery really looks like, including swelling, compression, and lymphatic massage
• The most common complications (and how to avoid them)
• Why choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is critical for your safety and results

If you’ve ever wondered whether liposuction is worth it, or if you’ve been confused by all the noise online, this episode will help you make sense of it all.
