The Quintessa Aesthetic Center in Waukesha is your premier stop for transformative beauty transformation. Our renowned plastic surgeons offer liposuction services and more to help boost your confidence, remove stubborn fat, and provide natural-looking, beautiful results.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets and removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to reduce stubborn fat deposits and improve body contour. Although liposuction is not a weight loss method, it can improve the appearance of previously fatty areas.
At Quintessa, your highly-skilled surgical team is led by the expert hands of Dr. Daniel Butz and Dr. Jake Thayer, board-certified and internationally renowned plastic surgeons who specialize in innovative body and breast aesthetic surgeries.
Depending on your unique requirements, our surgeons will use either local or general anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable, make small incisions in your skin, and insert a thin, minimally invasive tube called a cannula. The cannula is moved back and forth to loosen your fat cells. A surgical vacuum or syringe is attached to the cannula and used to carefully suction the fat cells from your body.
Dr. Butz and Dr. Thayer will optimize your recovery time, reduce the risk of infection, and take a comprehensive approach to the best patient care to support you on your journey to beauty enhancement.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from targeted areas of your body. This surgery is designed to sculpt and contour your figure into your ideal body shape—it’s not a procedure for losing weight.
During a liposuction surgery, one of our surgeons will make small incisions in your skin and insert a minimally invasive cannula (small tube) to loosen the fat cells. Once the fat cells are loose, the surgeon will carefully suction the fat cells out of your body with a surgical vacuum or syringe.
Dr. Butz and Dr. Thayer work to make recovery time as easy as possible for patients, but you’ll need to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully. Our staff members are only a phone call away to address any concerns you may have during recovery.
Liposuction is a deeply personal choice that no one can make for you. Your decision to schedule liposuction services in Waukesha should be aligned with your overall beauty and health goals.
However, when you schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Butz and Dr. Thayer, they will review your medical history, current weight, prescription medicines, and other factors to help you determine whether or not liposuction is right for you.
The ideal candidates for liposuction services will:
Your surgeon will make a series of careful incisions in the targeted areas and remove excess fat deposits. Your remaining contours will be refined for a smoother appearance. On average, liposuction services in Waukesha take between 1-2 hours. However, your unique needs may require additional time, so it’s important to clear your schedule.
Your recovery period after liposuction depends on the areas you’ve had treated and the techniques we use for your customized liposuction. You should avoid rigorous activity and heavy lifting for at least 2-3 weeks after your procedure, but moderate physical movement is encouraged.
Some bruising, numbness, and swelling is completely normal after liposuction and may take several weeks to months to fully subside. You’ll be required to wear compression garments on the treated areas for 6 weeks after your liposuction surgery.

Neck fullness and double chins related to extra fat under the chin can be a troublesome area for many people. It is commonly related to genetics and resistance to diet and exercise.
Fortunately, chin and jowl fat can be easily removed with the submental liposuction technique. With this technique, patients can expect the following:
If there is severe skin laxity or redundancy, a neck lift may be more appropriate to give you the results you’re looking for.
Newer injectable products, such as Kybella, can be effective for minor fat deposits but liposuction is still the gold standard and produces a more dramatic effect.
Power-assisted liposuction or PALS uses specialized devices to help fibrous fat more efficiently. This is typically performed under general anesthesia and can provide more dramatic fat reduction and results. Some patients may be a candidate for “high definition” liposuction, which helps create more dramatic contours and shadows.
Aside from great results, key benefits of PALS technique include:
Our board-certified surgeons will help you determine which liposuction technique is best suited to achieve your desired results.
What makes this liposuction technique distinct from others is that it is performed in the office with only the use of local anesthesia to reduce pain and overall risk during surgery. Traditional liposuction uses tumescent fluid but also utilizes general anesthesia.
Aside from great results, key benefits of tumescent liposuction include:
Our board-certified surgeons will help you determine which liposuction technique is best suited to achieve your desired results.
SURGICAL SOLUTIONS
Liposuction recovery can vary depending on the treatment area and the type of liposuction technique we choose to use.
For most patients, a compression garment will be in place for the first 6-8 weeks after the procedure. You may have some numbness and swelling in the treatment area for several weeks to months. This is normal and will improve with time.
You should avoid vigorous exercise for at least 2 weeks and avoid lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk. We always encourage you to be up and walking several times throughout the day.

Literally a game changer
Wonderful Experience
Liposuction will permanently reduce stubborn fat deposits as the procedure eradicates fat cells from your body. Although it may take several weeks for post-procedure swelling to disappear and several months to experience optimal results, your results can be permanent.
However, it’s vital to maintain a fitness routine and a healthy diet to prevent future weight gain from causing unwanted fat deposits that reappear in other areas of your body.
Although your plastic surgeon may provide more detailed and specific instructions for you to follow before your surgery, here are some general recommendations that you can follow to help prepare for liposuction:
No. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. While it removes excess fat, liposuction does not tighten skin. If loose skin is a concern, your surgeon may recommend a separate skin-tightening procedure. However, the positive impact liposuction may have on your appearance could help you to maintain a fitness routine and a healthy diet that can contribute to weight loss.
If you have stubborn fatty areas that don’t go away when you maintain an ideal weight, exercise regularly, and follow a healthy diet, it may be time to consider liposuction. The plastic surgery team at Quintessa can advise you on whether or not your expectations for the procedure are realistic and if you’re an ideal candidate for liposuction.
