Liposuction in Wauwatosa & Pleasant Prairie, WI
GET STARTEDWhat Is Liposuction?
At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, we believe that feeling confident in your body can make all the difference in how you live your life. Our approachable team is here to provide safe and personalized solutions, including liposuction procedures, that help bring your goals within reach. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body, helping to sculpt and contour your figure. It is ideal for targeting areas that resist diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
How Does Liposuction Work?
During a liposuction procedure, a small incision is made in the treatment area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin. The cannula is used to loosen and suction out excess fat cells, sculpting the area to achieve a smoother, more contoured appearance. At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, we utilize tumescent liposuction, a technique that involves injecting a solution of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine into the treatment area before fat removal. This solution helps numb the area, reduce bleeding, and make fat removal easier and more precise. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, allowing you to remain awake and comfortable throughout the process.
What Are the Benefits?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is liposuction the right procedure for me?
The best candidates for liposuction are individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It is a body contouring procedure designed to refine and sculpt specific areas. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your goals, health history, and body composition to determine if liposuction is the right option for you.
What areas can be treated?
Liposuction can be performed on many areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, back, chest, and chin/neck. Our team will work with you to identify the areas that will benefit most from treatment and create a customized plan to achieve your desired results.
Will I need to wear compression garments?
Yes, patients are typically required to wear a compression garment over the treated area for several weeks following the procedure. Compression garments help reduce swelling, support the healing tissues, and promote smooth, even results as your body adjusts to its new contour.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes, liposuction can be combined with other body contouring or aesthetic procedures to achieve comprehensive results. Many patients choose to combine liposuction with treatments such as chin and neck liposuction for enhanced facial and body sculpting. Our team will discuss all available options during your consultation.
What is recovery like after liposuction?
Most patients can return to light activities within a few days of their procedure, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal and will gradually subside over the following weeks. Full results typically become visible within 3 to 6 months as the body heals and adjusts. Our team will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
